JVC GR-DV3000 review

 

JVC GR-DV3000

Large, clear LCD; affordable for its class; megapixel still-image capture; manual focus ring.

Image-quality flaws; controls can be difficult to operate; no optical image stabilization.

Still at the top of JVC's MiniDV line after all this time, the DV3000 has some flaws but deserves a look from budget buyers.
