JVC GR-D23EK Mini DV Digital Camcorder
Used Price: ?94.99
Customer Review: A waste of money - search the Internet before buying!
Facts: Cheap. Works fine at first. Then doesn’t. Mine went into a safeguard mode in about a year of light usage. Miraculously healed itself and then went into coma in another month. Half a year after that, working again, started chewing the film’s edges with jerking picture and broken timecode - a couple of cassettes spoiled and a lot of precious moments missed! I went on the Web to search for the first fault remedy and was very unpleased to learn that JVC camcorders are infamous for that kind of things. Personally, after my own experience and all the stuff that I’ve read I am avoiding JVC as a brand.
Customer Review: Zoom/Tape Noisy, Lasted 18 Months
This camcorder was great when I first got it, was one of the cheapest at the time and did everything it was supposed to, but as the months went by I started noticing more and more tape noise on my recordings, where the mic was picking up the sound of the internal mechanism, and the noise from the zoom has been really quite awful. Last week the camera packed up, it just says the lense cap it on all the time, even when it isn’t, so it lasted about 18 months altogether. Not great.

Customer Review: Spend a little extra, if you can…
I almost went for this camcorder, but in the end, I opted for a Sony DCR-SR62 camcorder. It cost just under ?300, has a 30Gb hard disc built in and a touch-screen display, but has a 1.3Mp resolution. It really makes a huge difference on the quality of your videos. I’ve got nothing against this particular JVC model, but at the time I knew nothing about camcorders, and am glad I chose to spend a little extra and go for the Sony. Hope this helps !
Customer Review: Easy to use, loads of storage space and great price.
I think the title says it all. Really simple camcorder to use, used it straight out of the box with no hassles at all. Very impressed with the storage capacity. I spent a long time researching which camera to opt for, and after many weeks of reading reviews and checking prices, I definitely made the right choice! The reason for writing the review is to let people know that it is possible to use the simplest editing software, Windows Movie Maker, which is provided free with Windows. Earlier comments suggest the editing software which is bundled is not very good, but you just need to know how to use it. On the CD that comes with the camera is an application called PowerDirector, this allows you to change the saved movie file from a .MOD file (the JVC standard extension) to a AVI or MPEG file for use with Windows Movie Maker or any other editing software. Open PowerDirector Import your .MOD files. Add your .MOD files to the timeline (or) If you want to create individual .AVI or .MPG files, add the files to the timeline individually. Once your timeline is setup how you’d like it, Click “Produce” Now select Save to File Finally Select .AVI or .MPG and select the directory that you’d like your file stored to. It’s that easy. Then edit to your hearts content! Buy one - at this price you’d be daft not too!

JVC GZ-MG365 Slim HDD/micro SD Hybrid Camcorder With Konica Minolta Lens (35x Optical Zoom)
Amazon Price: ?350.30
Customer Review: Good but would have been better.
Ive had the camera for about 3 days now and i have been playing with it since. my first impression is physically its not very striking when you see it. it doesn’t have the wow factor. its very plain and simple not very stylish but very compact and light weight. now lets talk about the video and picture quality and performance, ill give it a thumbs up for having 60gb capacity, the video quality its just a standard definition but good enough to watch on a 42 inch TV without pixelating to much, the 35X zoom lens is good but a bit slow in zooming. shooting in low conditions is average, it has a built in automatic illuminating light but not very helpful, they could have consider a night vision like the sony sr36 hdd. its very user friendly you dont have be a nerd to operate this machine. the laser touch sensitive control panel on the view finder is pretty good as well. now for the not so good bits. the battery pack that comes with the kit is rediculous, fully charge it will only last 10mins of recording time. i mean come on 10 mins for a camcorder that can record for atleast 14 hours. hmmm? the grip of everio is not as ergonomic as the sony’s, your hand should be dead straight 90 degrees unlike sony’s elevated zoom controls. and last but not the least, the picture quality on camera mode is not as sharp and you can not take a snap shot whilst you are in video mode you have to switch back to camera mode to to take pictures. I would rate this camcorder 7 out of 10 for having a large 60gb storage, good quality videos and being very compact and light weight. its cheaper and have more storage than sony’s equivalent (only 40gb). for its tag price this camcorder is good value for your money but but you are willing to give a little bit more go for sony.

Mastering Your Digital SLR: How to Get the Most Out of Your Digital Camera
Customer Review: Excellent Introduction to DSLR Ownership
I bought this at the same time as Digital SLR Handbook by A. Rouse! Why both, I have no idea but it was worth getting both! This is a hard back book of good proportions so not easily concealed in a pocket! It has over 190 pages! The one thing I don’t like with this book is that some of the black print is printed over coloured backgrounds and whilst it makes attempts to make the print stand out I had to get into good light to read it! Some of the caption writing is quite small, testiment to my eyes being ok that I can read it!

This book gives a couple of histogram examples, maybe more would be appreciated? It takes you through all the steps of digital SLR ownership, without too much on exposure and other basics that are usually well covered in other books!

If you are starting out in the DSLR world this would be a great buy. It also mentions a little on keeping your sensor dust free and what (basic) steps to take to remove dust! When my DSLR picked up a few dust particles and I paniced, but it is not too difficult to remove the specks with blower or brush or swabs!

I will no doubt pick this book up again in the future to brush up on a few things, no pun intended!

Customer Review: An Excellent Guide to Getting the Most from your DSLR
This is a great book. It is peppered with effective worked examples, and written in plain English, which makes it an effective tool to help understand the new photographic environment made possible by DSLRs. But it is also useful in that it reminds one of some of the basics (applicable to film SLRs too) which may have been forgotten over the years. If you haven't, it's easy to skim through these. This book cannot be recommended highly enough.

Customer Review: Excellent cheaper alternative to the Canon battery
I got one of these a few months back and have not been dissapointed. At 850Mahs, this battery is 100mAhs more than the proper Canon battery that comes with the camera. The battery lasts just as long as the Canon one, though i have not tested that scientifically. An absolute bargain alternative to the very expensive Canon battery. I have to say though that the ?30 i payed for this battery is still ridiculously expensive, no one should have to pay more than ?10 for such a small battery!!
Customer Review: Red Bull for your camera
I do not usually trust non-OEM batteries like this, but I can say that this one has proven me wrong. I paid double this price for an original Canon NB-2L spare for my S40 camera 2 years ago, but both have now deteriorated to a level where they only last a few shots using flash as they seem to have lost peak capacity and don’t hold charge very well any more. I’m not sure if this is down to my storage methods, usage pattern or a design “feature” but I was starting to dislike my camera due to the poor battery life. As a cheaper alternative to replacing my camera, I decided to give one of these a try. It arrived a couple of days before my annual holiday so I charged it up and thought no more about it. It was only on day 13 of the holiday that it went flat after taking about 10 minutes of video and about 100 photos (25-50% flash) that I realised it had done exceptionally well. They have a high quality feel and whilst the colours are not original this is not seen inside the camera. I have not put any science behind it, but it has outlived the original Canon performance when they were new, slaughtered the performance of my now ageing Canon batteries and cost me half the price. I’m so pleased I’m about to order a second and get rid of the old ones.

Digital SLR Cameras and Photography for Dummies (For Dummies)
Customer Review: A worse dummy than I thought!
I think I must need a ‘Total Idiot’s Guide’ as this was not what I thought it would be.

Being a complete beginner with dSLR, I thought this book would be a step-by-step guide on ‘How To….’ I was a bit wide of the mark - although the book says a lot about why you should do this over that, etc it left me lost on how to actually do it. So I’m using my camera on Auto until my Nikon book arrives. Let’s hope I’ll have more success with that one.

Customer Review: excellent book
Bought the book on the strength of the previous two reviews as I’ve not really been keen on the “dummies” books previously.

This one, though, is excellent. If you’ve spent a chunk of money on a new digital camera (like my EOS 40d!) you really should spend another ?10 and read this, and actually start to understand how it all works! (If you’re already expert then you won’t be needing this, but understanding even how the digital sensor works is really interesting)

It’s printed on good quality glossy paper (unlike some of the dummies books) and includes some really nice images.

Well worth it
