JVC GR-D390EK Mini DV Camcorder
Customer Review: Absoloutely Brilliant!
I bought this camcorder after looking at the Sony alternatives. I also asked my friend, who is an ITV presenter, and he says he woul use a DV tape camcorder over DVD camcoders any day. It has the ability to record in widescreen (useful for playback on widescreen television) and amazing optical and digital zoom.
The included remote control is a bonus as it enables you to film yourself. It has ports for USB (photos) and DV Firewire (video): it comes with a USB cable and photo memory card but not with a firewire cable which cost around ?[...]
It’s very simple to use and comes with photo transfer software.
I would definetly buy this product if you are looking for a cheap camcorder with lots of functions.
Customer Review: Best value for money around
I wanted an inexpensive, good quality camcorder mainly to take clips of my horses. I was delighted to find that this camera includes a sports mode, that takes clear frame by frame action shots. Perfect. The optical zoom is excellent, we got clear shots of one of our horses being worked from over 200 yards away.
What you need to know, and is not clear, is that if you want to copy videos to your PC, you need a firewire (IEEE1394) cable and the port on your PC. The cable is not supplied with the camera, and I spent several hours wondering why I couldn’t download via the supplied USB cable. (Duh). I phoned JVC technical support and got through immediately, very impressive, and problem solved.
Can’t fault this camera for quality, value and loads of good features that I will never use ……

Customer Review: If only it would work properly…
Good features and easy to use - conceptually. But. But. But. It constantly freezes and crashes my PC despite having much more memory and disc space than the minimum specified. My CPU speed should also be more than adequate to do the job. The internet has many reports of people having similar trouble with this software. This is absolutely unacceptable for software which will be used for large time-consuming video editing work, where a failure can be highly irritating to say the least. Pinnacle try to hide behind various excuses, mainly blaming the heavy computational load of video editing. That is rubbish. Properly written software would just run more slowly - it would not, repeat, not crash. The software concept must be fatally flawed. After a week of struggling I gave up and bought Sony Vegas instead. I have been using Vegas every day for two weeks now without a single freeze or crash. However, note that Sony Vegas is more complex to use and so has a steeper initial learning curve.

Customer Review: Amazing
I don’t see how anyone can give a bad rating because they had the wrong item delivered. What has that got to do with the camcorder? Anyway this is a great piece of kit, easy to use and takes good Blu Ray 1080 resolution. The menu is easy to navigate and instruction book easy to follow. Would thoroughly reccommend this item.
