jvc camcorder

Advantages: very easy to use, small and light
Disadvantages: ?

...built in electret condenser type microphone in either 16 bit/48KHz modes (the latter allowing for additional separate commentary recording or music). Stereo separation and overall quality is much as to be expected from mics of this type, reasonable but lacking the depth and resonance of higher-spec systems. Conclusion: In keeping with market trends, JVC has responded to the need for full digital and analogue connectivity on this model, and this is to be applauded. It's a pity that this has been included at the expense of other useful features like an external microphone input or more importantly, a headphone output, but theres no doubt that for the majority of camcorder users looking for a simple DV camcorder that produces good quality pictures and sounds under normal conditions this isn't a concern. When assessing the JVC GR-D70...

Review of JVC GR D740

same camcorder diffrent name? GR-D247

Advantages: light, easy to use and cheap
Disadvantages: the little blue saftey button and the flimsey cover

...Now we had been looking for a light and easy to use camera that we would be able to take with us on holidays we looked on here to find reviews and saw the GR-D240 but could only find the GR-D247 which seems to be the same as the GR-D240. The advantages that I can see are: •It's a lot smaller than anticipated which is great its about the size of your palm (6.4 x 8.4 x 14.6 cm), •Its very light (half a kilo all in), for something so small it seems to have a very big screen (2.5 inch), •Great sound the microphone seems to pick up all the sounds around. •You can either have the camera on manual or on auto this is great •The zoom is great to and very easy to use The disadvantages that I have been able to see are: •The motor comes up very loud when you play back the footage on the camera...

Review of JVC GR D240

JVC - excellant value.

Advantages: Excellant pictures, features and value.
Disadvantages: Uses an eye piece rather than a side screen.

...I have recently bought a JVC compact VHS digital camcorder, model number GR-AX201. I bought this particular item as I am well into computers and wanted to try messing around with the various digital features. My wife also want a digital camera. This camcorder can take still snapshots, comes with many editing features for the experienced user and is so easy to use for the less experienced. It comes with an excellant picture stabalizer, very quick auto focus and an integrated auto light for use when the natural light is too dim. It has many other features which I could give however the one I like is the way I can just remove the film, place it into the cassette adapter ( basically a video tape ), and then watch it immediately like a video. This product is excellant for anyone wanting a digital camcorder....

Review of JVC GR-AX201

A great beginners camcorder from JVC

Advantages: Has all the features you would want for a beginners camcorder
Disadvantages: When light levels are low the picture can become a little jerky and grainy.

...First things first. This is NOT the best camcorder on the market. It is NOT the smallest or the lightest. But what this camcorder has going for it is that it is a very good all rounder. It has a massive amount of features and as such clearly beats its similarly priced competitors. You can check the technical specs for yourself in the product information; the purpose of this review is to let you know how it handles. The size isn't really much of a problem, especially if like me you have big hands, because smaller corders can be a bit fiddly when your hand is bigger than it is. So the GR-D70 is just the right size to fit nicely in your hand giving easy access to all of the features, although you may need a nimble thumb to quickly switch between, manual and auto focus and play back. but it keeps your fingers and thumbs away from...

Review of JVC GR D70

It is reliable

Advantages: Ease of use with PC
Disadvantages: Difficult digital video editing

...It has 10x zoom, but personally I think other camcorders in the store had more zoom power, despite the zoom effect diminishing after a while. What makes this such a useful product in my opinion, is the abundance of quality, and reliable software bundled with the camera. It allows you to go through your entire tape looking for the exact picture that you want, including a feature where you specify the exact time you want the snapshot to be taken. The LCD screen is a pleasant change for those who dislike having their face stuck to their camcorder for the duration of the recording, and its maneuverability ensures constant ease of use. However the most annoying feature of this camcorder is the lack of video editing, but this is offset by the ease in actually putting your digital recording onto VHS. But despite the GR-DVL40 having better zoom...

Yamada DVX-6700

Advantages: It plays EVERYTHING
Disadvantages: Cheap construction

...My Christmas present to myself this year was the “Yamada-DVX-6700” – which looks like a DVD player, works rather like a DVD player but offers a special something extra - this unit not only plays DVDs but many other digital formats too. The device cost me ~£55 – to make it price comparable with other DVD players… It replaces a CyberHome “CH DVD 400” which only plays bone-fide DVDs – and cost the same 18 months ago. The build quality of the Yamada is best described as “cheap” – but… don’t get me wrong – it looks OK next to the TV – only if you look closely is it obvious that every component has been made to the tightest of budgets – everything from the flimsy eject-tray to the front-panel plastic buttons and cheesy digital display which might have looked modern in the 1980s. To criticise the unit on aesthetics, however, is to...
