Advantages: Inexpensive, decent picture, small size Disadvantages: Not as good as Sony cams
...to show for my adventures. JVC in my mind had a reputation of being quite average. After shopping around and talking to the nice people at Dixons and Curry’s I decided to give the JVC GR-D70 a shot.
Design:
The size of this camera was a refreshing breath of fresh air for me, but I guess that is because I got used to lugging around my old monstrosity of a camera. Compared to my artsy friend’s super-cool latest Sony it’s actually quite bulky and ... ...grand for it. It’s weight and size are very manageable and the design is quite practical. All the buttons are easily accessible so you don’t need to take your eyes of the viewfinder trying to find that zoom button. The LCD viewfinder is quite nice and can be seen quite clearly even in bright sunshine (as I was able to check out on my holiday this summer) All the necessary connectors are there, and are covered by rubber stoppers so that you don’t ...

...would any other digital image. JVC also provide software for this in the package as well as a USB cable.
Unfortunately they do not provide you with a firewire cable to transfer the video to your PC, but these are quite cheap to get hold of yourself.

...and 1,024x768 (fine) pixel modes. Jvc has included a feature called DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) which allows the tagging of skills stored on the MMC card for later printing. Also included is Windows-only software called Digital Photo Navigator, designed to facilitate USB transfer of stills editing them in a PC.
