 I love the JVC750!!Great Camcorder @ a great price! December 30, 2007

I bought this in October. I just love it!! It's so easy to use and packed with features. The fader gives a professional quality look and feel to video footage. The video quality is fine for my needs(I'm an amatuer lol). The features are easy to access and a breeze to operate. I love the 34X zoom on this thing! I can stand on one side of the river and snap photos/shoot video in another country without any blur whatsoever. The images are crystal clear!They look as though all subjects are directly in front of me!!Downloading to PC is a breeze with the firewire cable(seperate purchase).If I had one complaint it would be that this model does'nt have a slot for a memory card but for the price I paid for mine it's no big loss. It's lightweight and so sleek looking. It performs relatively well in lower light situations. I'm very happy with the camcorder! I would (and have) recommend the JVC GRD750 to anyone in the market for a quality MiniDV camcorder. This is a purchase that gives a lot of bang without having to spend a lot of money. Thanks JVC!

I just love this camcorder. Its very easy to handle and operate. I just recorded my daughters band performance and it turned out just fine. I would recommend this camera to anyone. I also got this camera for only $179 at Circuit City that was a steal. I was able to get a bag and 3 tapes for only $11.99 on Wal-marts website.
Excellent Camcorder for the money August 31, 2007

This Camcorder offers high value for those needing a casual use camcorder. I find this light-weight cam is well made, delivering decent quality video, and is easy to operate- with both auto and manual modes. It does suffer from the limitations most, if not all, budget 1/6 CCD .68mp camcorders have. It struggles in low-light (bumping up the exposure and/or adjusting white balance helps), and playback on a high resolution or a big screen monitor with only .68mp isn't always flattering. Playback on more normal size screens (like my 27" set) are fine. Outdoors and in regular lighting situations this camera performs very well. Indoor quality suffers without enough light, and I usually use manual mode to improve things.
From the couple of other posts, there may be quality control issues. I have none and it seems to be well made. There are other sites with almost universally positive personal reviews, so hopefully JVC has addressed any issues.
It only has a firewire (no USB), so PC users must have a firewire port if they want to edit. I use a mac and have no issues using iMovie.
Likes: OIS, 34X zoom, 16x9 or 4x3 modes, battery life (about 2 hours), manual control, size, build quality, price.
Dislikes: No DV cable (does anybody include one?), no software, focus issues with low-light and occasionally at the long end of zooms, sub-par audio.
Overall I find the D750 to be a very predictable camcorder, offering good quality videos at an almost steal of a price. I'd recommend this camcorder to anyone, and think it would be a perfect learning tool for someone getting started, or those who travel frequently (small size) or perhaps have higher loss risks (low price).
 Dont waste your money on a JVC product!!!!! August 7, 2007

JVC had a class action lawsuit about their camcorders and even though this one is not on the list, it should be. I bought it new and it has had a problem dropping sound and pixilation on the left side of the screen since I opened the box. It has been into JVC repair FOUR, yes FOUR times since I bought it at the beginning of the summer 2007 and every time it had been returned, the problem persists. JVC has yet to acknowledge that it is a LEMON and insists on repairing it. Their repairs do not work! I dont think they are even doing anything but repacking it and sending it back to me. Its out for repair at JVC as I type this and hopefully they will replace it this time. PLEASE, for your sanity's sake, buy another camcorder besides JVC.
