I decide to do a rental on this JVC camcorder. Thank god I did, because I never seen such a terrible camcorder with picture quality that destroys the point of making a video all together. Anyone who gives any rating higher then a 1 star for JVC cameras, don’t know the quality of a real video camera. This JVC records terrible video for this particular model is just one of the junkiest they make. I never seem such a camera have such terrible video recording except when I look threw a VHS video recorder dated back in the 80’s. It probably cost JVC $5 to make this lousy piece of crap and here they and Amazon are selling it for $350. Do yourself all a favor don’t buy any JVC products that has anything to do with picture taking and video recording. You will save yourself the misery later on when someone in your family brings over a “Walmart brand cam corder :-/” for less and takes better quality pictures and video.

Hello All, I recently purchased this camera and was so excited. First off, I feel that camera is great. Easy to handle, very small, good video quality, and the like. My problem is not with the camera, it is with the software that it comes with. If you are not uploading to iTunes or YouTube, you cannot upload it directly to your PC. The third and final option is to upload it directly to a DVD. It also saves in a .MOD format, which is a pain in the butt to convert to AVI or MPEG. My disappointment is that I want to upload directly to my PC and be able to edit the movies to make DVD’s of my kids. So I don’t use itunes or You Tube, which leaves me with going directly to a DVD. But if you want to edit your videos you have to record directly to a DVD, then from the DVD to my editing software (I still haven’t figured out how to convert it yet), then the editing software to my PC, edit the movies, then back to a DVD. C’mon…there has got to be an easier way. But much research on the web and reading JVC user discussion boards say the same thing. They talk about downloading various Codecs and what not. I don’t have the time or desire to figure out codecs and other software.
Look, I just want to take video of my kid and up load it to my PC. I want to edit out the boring parts and make a good home video. I feel that I am working too hard to accomplish this.
I’m not sure what I am going to do return the camera or deal with it.

A good camera with a good price. I have been using this product from last month. I have taken video at Las Angeles and Las Vegas. All the video has come well with good quality. While converting from .mod file to .Mov using everio media browser, quality is not so good. Use some other 3rd party tool, to make movie. It will come nicely. Still picture quality is not good. For small price we cannot expect more. Battery back up comes upto 45 mins. You need to buy one extra battery, so that there will be no drawbacks on this camera.

Nice camera. It was just as described. Easy to hold. Once you read the manual, it all becomes clear and is easy to operate. Installing the software was also easy. I’m used to doing that so I suppose it’s possible that it could be intimidating if you’re not used to it. I like the way this camera turns on and off easily. The buttons are small so I do need my glasses, but everything works as described. The camera size is perfect for easy travel. You can spend alot more and get many more features that are desirable. But I have specific uses for this camera. There was no need to spend $800. For my money, this was a good deal. Now a word about Amazon: Do not buy this camera from them if careful packing and shipping are important to you. The camera box is about 6×6x3. It was packed in a shipping box three times that size with one small piece of packing material (the pillow-like clear stuff). When I picked up the box from my front door, I could feel the box sliding around. Imagine how many times this box had been handled from the time it was packed to the time it was delivered. If it was not transported in a way that prevented it from moving around, then the camera box inside the packing box bounced around all over the place. I was nervous that the camera would even work. I emailed Amazon. Their response was that my concern would be forwarded to the shipping/packing area. It seemed an afterthought. I’ve bought things from Amazon before that were not packed adequately and left subject to damage during shipping. It’s pretty clear they have no intention of properly packing a $340 movie camera. My advice is to get it elsewhere, either in person at a retailer or from an online company you trust.
