Product Description
GRD250 MINI DV camcorder is equipped with a 25x optical zoom and JVC's Low Light Plus, which combines the company's 3D noise reduction with an F1.2 Super Bright lens to deliver superior low-light performance. Flicker is eliminated and color reproduction is improved. Data Battery function gives users a one-touch view in the LCD or viewfinder of remaining battery and recording time.This camcorder series features a new design that makes it easy to take along and easy to use. The unique design combines a compact camera body with a handgrip that is ideally sized to be comfortable and secure to hold.One-touch convenience of the new Data Battery function displays battery power and calculates remaining recording time with the power on or off to prevent users from running out of power during mid-shooting. Also, to make shooting easier, JVC's Clear-View LCD monitor suppresses diffusion of internal light to deliver a brighter, clearer image, and also reduces reflection and glare from external light so that images are always clearly visible even when shooting outdoors in bright sunlight.For superior image quality, GRD250 camcorder features a Super High-Band Processor that restores the high-band components of the luminance signal to ensure a crisp, clear picture.
Amazon.com Product Description

The GR-D250 has a 680K-pixel CCD with 340K effective pixels for video, and it can capture still photos and store them onto the tape. Other features include electronic image stabilization, color viewfinder, Web camera functionality, Firewire, S-Video, and composite video out connections. It also offers manual control of white balance, shutter speed, and aperture focus. The Clear-View LCD monitor suppresses diffusion of internal light to deliver a brighter image and also reduce reflection and glare from external light so that images are always clearly visible even when shooting outdoors in sunlight. The Data Battery function uses a new style of battery to communicate the remaining life to the camcorder, which will display the amount of time available both if the LCD is open and if it's closed with the press of one button on the camcorder battery. The Super High-Band Processor that restores the high-band components of the luminance signal to ensure a crisp picture with 520 lines of resolution. The enhanced low-light sensitivity of the NightAlive function lets you capture clear, full-color night images without relying on infrared rays, which results in color images and no limit on the shooting range.

 Never Recieved - Got Refund January 19, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
After waiting several weeks for this item I checked the UPS tracking system and learned that the product was damaged in a train derailment. I emailed back to Amazon and was told they would look into it. A couple of weeks after that I finally got a refund (after I'd had to pay interest on my credit card, of course.) And to top it off, Amazon keeps asking me to review the product, which is kind of pissing me off, really. I'm happy that the issue was resolved, but upset that I had to be the one to initiate the communication to get it resolved. Having said that, I would still shop from Amazon in the future.
Lens Cap on Error October 11, 2007

Camera was great until the "Lens cap" error message came on in the middle of recording my son's first band concert. Have emailed JVC about so called free repair which isn't free because you still have to pay for shipping back and forth to repair center. Stay away for JVC.
Famous "Lens Cap" Error May 15, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I recorded about 5 tapes in this unit and now I get the famous "Lens Cap" error that seems to plague JVC Camcorders. It will record audio, but no video. This Camera is not on the JVC repair list. What a piece of junk.
Customer Support is a mis-nomer with JVC. They know they have a problem, but refuse to even listen. Do not buy a JVC camcorder.
just a piece of junk May 8, 2007

JVCs are great if you don't need any accessories or never need customer service. if you do you are in trouble. I bought a JVC video recorder last year and despite it being new it came without most of the accessories offered with it--things you'll probably need such as the cable to connect it to the TV and the one to connect it to the computer. I had to buy each of these for $40 each--they would not ship them, and also had to buy the software that was supposed to come with the camera. after all that, the leads broke, then the zoom button would stick, and finally the camera started eating tape. the customer service was useless and I finally just threw it out. I had owned this JVC product for less than a year and will never buy another one.
