A Happy Mac User

I spent hours searching for a camera to fit my budget and to suit my very amateur needs, whilst still working well with my Mac Powerbook. I had read about using 3rd party software to convert the video files but was sceptical. I'm pleased to report I have the camera, have managed to convert the files on my Mac, put them into iDVD and burn them to a DVD with out any hitches and very easily too. I'm happy with the camera - especially as I'm dreadful at reading instructions before playing, so the easy to navigate menu system is a real bonus. The camera does what it says on the tin and is surprisingly small and light. My concern about whether I had done the right thing (between submitting my order on line and me getting to play with the camera) was unwarranted. I'll definitely be ordering a bigger battery as I can't see the 1hr 30mins or so from the standard one ever being enough. The hard-drive storage is great for deleting video from the camera, freeing up space on the go too. Pleased with  more

UNBELIEVEABLE !!!!!

FIRST THE IMAGE QUALITY IS GREAT. BY ADDING THE SDHC CARD I CAN TAKE 9,999 PHOTOS JUST WITH THE CARD AND USE THE HARD DRIVE FOR MOVIES. ANOTHER FEATURE I REALLY LOVE IS CONTINUAL SHOOTING IN CAMERA MODE. I SHOT 40 FRAMES IN ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND WAS ALL SO CLEAR.
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY WITH ALL MY PURCHASES FROM OVERSTOCKED.

wish the battery lasted longer

great video recorder. comes with good software. sound quality is good. comes with a battery that lasts 90 minutes while the camera can record up to 7 hours of video. You can order batteries with longer lives. Wish jvc would just include the better battery in the first place.
