| leanarda's Full Review: JVC GR-SXM920 S-VHS-C Analog Camcorder |
I recently purchased a GRSXM920U camcorder
JVC packs a lot of features into this camcorder at a great price I like the built-in digital stabilizer it keeps your video clean and consistent even if your hands wobble when filming it has a 3" LCD screen that makes viewing very easy. The screen also flips out,and Rotates 270 degrees for great versatility. You can tilt it down for high overhead shots, tilt it up for low-angle shots, tilt it forward for self-portraits,it has a remote Control. You can use play back and watch your entire recording instantly, it also has a built-in speaker.
The built in digital camera is one of the reasons I chose this model. It has built-in flash memory for up to 60 still shots. The camera comes with software for uploading your pictures to your computer,snapshots look good at (640x480), but could be a little sharper.
The camera is light weight and it does not take up much space. It has a 400x digital zoom and has a built in light for nighttime filming, I really like that feature my daughter is a cheerleader and many of her games are at night.
I do have a couple of complaints the buttons are kind of small, and I would recommend buying an extra battery or two because they drain rather quickly.
Over all I really like this camcorder. My Whole family is enjoying all it's features capturing memories to last us for life.
