JVC GR DX25

...it to a computer). The JVC DX range has expanded significantly since then, but I notice that the newer models seem to only have a maximum optical zoom of 10x (compared to 16x for this one). **Technical Stuff:** Skip ahead to the "**Performance:**" section if you're not going to connect you camcorder to a computer. Firstly, this camcorder DOES NOT support DV-in (i.e. you can't record back to it from your computer once you've edited your video) ...
...replacement batteries, let alone genuine JVC ones. These should give closer to 3 hours usage (but it's hard for me to say if they do as I never tried using it for 3 hours in one go yet). Charging time is approximately the same as the running time and done with the battery in the camcorder. Other accessories it comes with are a little remote control (aimed mostly at using when hooked up to a TV I think - I can't say as I've used it much, but it does ...

Review of JVC GR DX25

...well made my slinky satin-steel JVC DV-1 was. At first, I was so enthralled to have got my hands on what USED to cost £2000 that I overlooked minor irritations like a lack of digital output, the implication of which, I clearly hadn't at that point thought through. It was only very recently, like a couple of weeks ago after buying a DVD-Writer for my PC, that I got to thinking how nice it would be if I could edit my footage and make a real DVD of ...
...price range and my prices. JVC had always done me proud, so I decided to stick with them, and so it was last week that I strolled out of Hughes Electrical Store* in Norwich, £500 the poorer, and one more camcorder heavier, until my brother in law picks up the other one, that is. *I'm really impressed both with the price (which is £11 less than even www.dabs.com, prior to their carriage charges) and product knowledge of the staff. If these people ...

Review of JVC GR DX25

...And so to the JVC GR-DX25. It is not the cheapest of machines (£400), nor is it the most expensive. It doesn’t have the largest range of special features, nor the smallest. It may not be the best camcorder in the world, but it is a very, very long way from being the worst. The JVC GR-DX25 is a very good camcorder, with an impressive, yet not too bewildering range of special features, at a sensible and reasonable price. It pretends to be nothing ...
...find some effects that even JVC never imagined. EDITTING I confess, I have not tried out editing much at all, certainly not enough to give a good definitive review, so I shall be editing this review in the near future. Keep an eye out. PLAYBACK AND TRANSFER Playing your finished tape could not be much simpler, thanks to JVC. Not only have they supplied SVideo/Audio leads which will attach to practically every TV, but they have even supplied a ...

Review of JVC GR DX25

I bought one of these cameras around two weeks ago. First I would like to say I got an exceptional deal on this item costing me just £319 from www.letsgodigital.co.uk, the next cheapest I could find was Argos at £449 in this deal you get the remote control USB cable scart socket and lead to transfer footage from our camera to your TV via an s-video lead, however this camera only takes dv tapes. Anyway back to the cam itself I found it to be quite ...
...the palm of your hand. That’s if you have big hands. The picture quality in daylight is extremely good, but don’t expect to get great images in lower light with the night colour vision although it is only good quality if you are dead still, once there is the slightest movement there is a severe jerkiness, disappointingly this camera doesn’t offer proper night vision however will take reasonable quality stills. You can also upload footage onto your ...

Review of JVC GR DX25

Excellent introduction to digital camcorders although much better units are available at this price. Both Windows and Mac compatible, recordings made with this camera can be easily edited on a computer and burned to DVD or sent back to the tape for playback on a TV. ...

Review of JVC GR DX25

I bought this particular camcorder after my old sony packed it in. It has yet to disappoint me. The only thing that is a let down is the zoom out option. If you are close up to something and want to zoom out to fit it into the entire picture, most times you cant. The zoom is fantastic with a 700 digital and 16 times optical zoom. Battery life is standard but is lithium ion which is a positive. There are many features to use for any novice film maker ...
...many. It can also be used as a web cam and of course is digital so can be linked up to a PC. It uses mini DV tapes which i believe is better than memory sticks as you can still transfer it manually onto VHS. It has USB capabilities as well as firewire which is a faster connection than USB. A remote control is included by rarely used unless you self record. Video and picture editing software is included as well. It has a pop out LC 2.5 inche screen ...
