Excellent Camcorder for the money
This Camcorder offers high value for those needing a casual use camcorder. I find this light-weight cam is well made delivering decent quality video and is easy to operate- with both auto and manual modes. It does suffer from the limitations most if not all budget 1/6 CCD .68mp camcorders have. It struggles in low-light (bumping up the exposure and/or adjusting white balance helps) and playback on a high resolution or a big screen monitor with only .68mp isn't always flattering. Playback on more normal size screens (like my 27" set) are fine. Outdoors and in regular lighting situations this camera performs very well. Indoor quality suffers without enough light and I usually use manual mode to improve things.
From the couple of other posts there may be quality control issues. I have none and it seems to be well made. There are other sites with almost universally positive personal reviews so hopefully JVC has addressed any issues.
It only has a firewire (no USB) so PC users must have a firewire port if they want to edit. I use a mac and have no issues using iMovie.
Likes: OIS 34X zoom 16x9 or 4x3 modes battery life (about 2 hours) manual control size build quality price.
Dislikes: No DV cable (does anybody include one?) no software focus issues with low-light and occasionally at the long end of zooms sub-par audio.
Overall I find the D750 to be a very predictable camcorder offering good quality videos at an almost steal of a price. I'd recommend this camcorder to anyone and think it would be a perfect learning tool for someone getting started or those who travel frequently (small size) or perhaps have higher loss risks (low price).More detail ...
