I love the JVC750!!Great Camcorder @ a great price!

I bought this in October. I just love it!! It's so easy to use and packed with features. The fader gives a professional quality look and feel to video footage. The video quality is fine for my needs(I'm an amatuer lol). The features are easy to access and a breeze to operate. I love the 34X zoom on this thing! I can stand on one side of the river and snap photos/shoot video in another country without any blur whatsoever. The images are crystal clear!They look as though all subjects are directly in front of me!!Downloading to PC is a breeze with the firewire cable(seperate purchase).If I had one complaint it would be that this model does'nt have a slot for a memory card but for the price I paid for mine it's no big loss. It's lightweight and so sleek looking. It performs relatively well in lower light situations. I'm very happy with the camcorder! I would (and have) recommend the JVC GRD750 to anyone in the market for a quality MiniDV camcorder. This is a purchase that gives a lot of  more

Love It

I just love this camcorder. Its very easy to handle and operate. I just recorded my daughters band performance and it turned out just fine. I would recommend this camera to anyone. I also got this camera for only $179 at Circuit City that was a steal. I was able to get a bag and 3 tapes for only $11.99 on Wal-marts website.

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  more
