I would expect this from a Sony

 

I bought this camera a little over two years ago. I'm a video/film production student and needed a high resolution camera to shoot my various homework assignments.

Large color viewfinder, interesting features

No night-shot.

Great design, Flash for photos

Faint motor hum noticed, grainy in very low light

Lost faith

 

This JVC DV Camcorder is yet to be perfected when it comes to sound. After 6 hours of use this lightweight attractive looking 3.8 inch viewing unit was more than disappointing. Inconsistent sound had forced me to rush it to the service department for a...

Light weight

unstable sound
