Customer Review: Forget the still images!!!!
Yes, the still images are cronic, but thankfully I didn’t buy it for that. I wanted a compact modern up to date digital compact dv camcorder with all the toys and guess what….thats what I got. The quality of the picture and sound playback are very very good. Battery life is not eaten up in no time like my old 8mm camcorder. The large 3″ lcd is superb….”wish my wife was as happy with an extra half inch”. If I was to dare and put any kind of downer on this camera it would be the palm strap which tends to make the camera hang down when you hold it…you have to compensate for this.
Customer Review: Still image is really bad
Hi, All other things being good (except video under low light is not as good as my old analogue Sony), but one thing is really bad. The digital still photo quality is really really bad, useless. I suspect the camcorder is faulty so emailed the photo to JVC tech support but the email seems lost in vein! Can anyone send me your photo so I can check whether it is faulty. I can send you one if you want. My email is yalouwang at ntlworld.com Thanks. Yalou

Customer Review: You get what you pay for
This camera has a lot of problems. When recording there is a wavy line on the bottom of the screen, the auto focus doesn’t work properly and the battery life is terrible. By far the worst problem is that it keeps crashing when it is being used with the charger plugged in and spoiling the video. In fact the charging system seems to be terribly amateurish in design; it doesn’t indicate it is charging at all when the camera is switched on and will only give you battery levels by way of a flashing LED when it is switched off so you don’t really know whether its fully charged or not. The picture quality is very grainy and it seems to need strong light to give any reasonable quality at all. Every now and then the zoom facility gets its tights in a tangle and it refuses to focus at all. However it is cheap and easy to use so that’s in its favour. For someone who just wants holiday videos and isn’t too concerned about quality, or for someone just starting out in video then its a good buy. It does work its just that it isn’t very good.
Customer Review: Jury’s Out
My experience with this product has not been great. I bought at the ?200 price, I was initially very disappointed with the battery charge, when recording in normal mode, I got nothing like the time specifified in the manual for a full charge. Then, on my 3rd recording, the camcorder developed a fault, with the DVD-RW going round continually when you power on, and there was NOTHINGA i could do to stop it, remove the disk etc, tried everything, including removing batteries. So I had to send it back. I hope I have not been silly, in asking for a new camcorder rather than a refund, but hope springs eternal. By the way, my disappointment is with Samsung - amazon were outstanding, not only the good price which everyone notes here, but this is the first return I have made in c 7 years of custom, and I was super-impressed with how easy it is to make a return. First class service
