JVC GR-D33US

CCDType: Single CCD, Video Recording Format: DV Tape

Good video, especially for the price. LED headlight for low-light illumination. 16x optical zoom.

Cumbersome controls. No hot shoe. Still images are bitmaps grabbed from video, not JPEGs, and they look dreadful.

The GR-D33US is clunky to operate, but you might consider it for its good video quality and LED headlight, especially considering the price. Forget about using it for stills, though.

Low light performance, - S-Video port

Ease of use, - Ports, - No analog to digital passthrough, - Mediocre manual control, - No card media, - Only 16x optical zoom
