Excellent little camera
This is the first camcorder I've ever owned. I saw it demonstrated on the shopping channel and eventually went shopping myself for an equal good price. It's a 2006 model and has only been around for a few months. After having it just a few days so far...I'd say so far so good! I'd have to say it's fairly simple to operate and offers a great many bells & whistles for the price. The 32x optical zoom is what sold me and it works like a charm. The digital zoom extends that to 64x and 800x. I have yet to try out the "super-zoom". The camera features stabilization control but I'll admit its still tough to keep it steady even at 32x! The other features include night vision live slow an automatic focusing control with auto white balance etc... and can operate as a digital (still) camera as well. If I was to make design changes it would be to have some of the operating controls FF - STOP - etc on the outside of the unit instead of having to open the LCD viewfinder to operate many of the basics. The only operational button within easy reach is to release the pause mode & record from standby. Actually the button to take "a picture" is right there too.
Battery power is ok I guess. The rechargeable pack (included) allows up to 90 min on average. To upgrade to a 3 hr or 7 hr battery will cost you!! No SD memory card included either.
So in the end if you compare the features and prices of JVC's competitors I'd say they did pretty well with this one.More detail ...
