Advantages: When it was lauched probably the best one-chip camcorder available Disadvantages: colours distorted on low light - disturbing violet hue
I had the JVC 3000 for two years, but though it was a superb camera the colours were not very bright and had a violet hue at low light. The night shot facility was simply useless. In addition the camera was quite heavy; the menu structure was complicated and there were too many buttons. When I changed to a second-hand Sony DCR-TRV60 it was simply a revelation: Superb images, reasonable photo quality, excellent accessories, much smaller and lighter. ... ...and bulky screens. The 60 (70 in the US) was just ideal.
The introductory price of the JVC camera was far too high; the advantage of the "bright" f 1.2 lens was just a gimmick because all depends on chip sensitivity and not on the aperture as in a photocamera. ...
