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 D70

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...

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...

There is also the web link :- http://www.jvc.co.jp/english/cyber/ and for accesories http://www.jvc.co.jp/english/accessory/ After my husbands delight on opening his present we both had fun experimenting with the camera.

Excellent miniDV camera for people on a budget

Advantages: cheap miniDV camcorder, excellent outdoor quality, quite small
Disadvantages: a bit of motor noise, wind cut is not effective

...The JVC GR-D20 is JVC's cheapest offering in their range of miniDV cameras. Consequently, it comes with very few frills at a fairly low price (I paid 275 pounds at greatsaves in August). Consumer camcorders of the miniDV format have a number of typical advantages and disadvantages. They produce excellent video in good lighting conditions and they are quite small. However, they tend to underperform in poor lighting conditions and, due to their small size, their microphones tend to pick up motor noise. The JVC GR-D20 is not different. Image quality suffers quite a bit when it gets dark. Night scenes in cities can produce rather grainy images with poor colour reproduction. However, because the lens (the same one the is used in the more upmarket variations of the JVC GR-Dxx) of this camcorder has a widest aperture of f1...

...and action!

Advantages: Making movies the easy way!
Disadvantages: Still pictures dissapointing

...JVC GR-D50 Review ----------------------------- The features on this camcorder are extensive. It has so many features I have yet to learn how to use them and what each one does! It is so easy to use. I was expecting it to be really hard and complicated. I have even lent it to my mum to use whilst on holiday and even she managed to get it to work and produce an excellent video of their holiday. 1/6-inch 800,000-pixel CCD giving you excellent picture quality. 16x Optical Zoom to capture even the far away happenings! 520 Lines of Resolution with Super High-Band Processor USB PC Link to transfer video clips and photos to email friends and family. Video CD Creation to help you to edit and make a professional video that you'll treasure for ever. Email Video Clips - to send to relatives far away Web...

Review of JVC GR D50

A simple easy to use camera at a good price

Advantages: Inexpensive, decent picture, small size
Disadvantages: Not as good as Sony cams

...I?ve been searching for a decent camcorder for a while, as my old super-8 Sony has seen better days years ago. Sadly most of Sony?s offerings are a bit too pricey for me since I don?t really care that much about camcorders. I just want something decent enough to take along with me on holidays and have something 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 heavy but at least I didn?t dish out over a grand for it. It?s weight and size are...
