Bad

 

Camera developed a fault (locking/freezing up)after 5 tapes usage. My niece bought the same model 1 month after me, now the same identical fault has developed with her Camcorder. Would never buy JVC product again.

Easy controls

Performance after 5 tapes used.

JVC GR-D850 Mini DV Camcorder; The Move To A Low End Digital

 

I recall writing a review of the Sony Handycam CCD-TRV68 Hi-8 Analog Camcorder long ago here at Epinions.com. in '02. The question left in the comment section asked why I didn't state why I didn't go digital at the time. At the time digital was ...

Small and easy to use. Good enough inside images and excellent outside

Mini-joystick hard to use with my fat fingers

JVC GR-D850 Handy Camera

 

I suggest you to use JVC GR-D850. As of now I am very happy that I can have this handy camera. This mini handy camera is very handy. The size is not that big at all but you can still use it to zoom very clear since it has 35x Optical Zoom. Amazing!....

Easy to use, good quality of pictures and sounds

Decent camcorder for the frugal crowd

 

This was my first digital camcorder. Let me admit, I'm frugal, perhaps cheap, yet also quality minded. I continued to use my JVC VHS-C camcorder right up until this summer (2008!). I was definitely not enamoured with the low resolution of the VHS-C ...

Good price vs. performance. A low-end camera that gives good value

Some missing features and slight video nitpicks worth considering before purchase
