 Great Camera! Great Price! November 11, 2008
I've always been satisfied with JCV products and this is no exception. The sound and picture are excellent and the zoom is great! I know that digital is the way most people are going, but the tapes are inexpensive and easy to use and I like the idea of having everything on tape. The camera connects to the computer easily and the uploads are very simple. On top of everything else, the quality is high and the price is low. In fact, this is one of the most inexpensive video cameras on Amazon! Great buy!

The upside is that it is cheap. The downside is that its shape is awkward to hold, it is slow to adjust exposure and auto focus and is useless in even modest amounts of light (like an average lit indoor setting). If you're going to be outdoors you'll probably be okay but even then the exposure adjustments are that good and I get a lot of over exposure. I would not get this camcorder again therefore I wouldn't recommend you get it the first time.
Very good October 6, 2008
I bought this camera to video my daughter as she grows up. It is easy to use and very simple to set up. The picture quality is fairly good.
The only problems with it are it doesn't come with a case and it doesn't come with a firewire cable. The cable only costs a dollar, and I can't see why one wasn't included.

This would be perfect - except that it is difficult to see the screen in bright daylight. Otherwise, a really great deal.

I bought this camcorder bcuz I have relocated in Asia and wanted to be sure I could save some of the fabulous views here. I have enjoyed the ease of operation and the quality of the recordings. I'm very happy with my choice of this product.
