JVC GR-DVL300 Mini DV Camcorder

Pros: Excellent picture quality, large array of features, good value
Cons: There are less expensive digital camcorders (if you care)

The JVC GR-DVL300U is the JVC’s “basic” digital camcorder. But in this case “Basic” doesn’t mean “simple”.

Camcorder has the “regular” design, which to me is more convenient than boxy shapes of the “higher end” models – 50U and 70U. It...

Pros: small, easy to use, useful software provided
Cons: 45 minutes battery

Pros: easy to use, lots of features
Cons: none

Buying a camcorder is a big decision for the usual people (I am not thinking about the rich guys who are buying, don't like it, through it away...). After all it is around $1000, money that otherwise could be spent on many useful things... Why not buying...

Pros: f1.2 Aspherical lens, manual focus ring, good low light performance, battery performance.
Cons: Microphone audio quality, menu system, lack of greater manual controls, "Jack-Box," no external mic input.

Having scoured the internet, and Epinions for close to a month I finally decided on purchasing the JVC GR-DV3000. This unit is essentially the same as the JVC GR-DV2000 camera, but with some major changes.

First off is the optics. Sporting...

Pros: price, size, and functionality
Cons: power button not as easy to use as could be

Pros: Built in Light, 680k pixel CCD, Manual Controls
Cons: No Windows NT/2000 drivers,

Because of the exceptional values available to buyers this camera is in my opinion the best value in the MiniDV camera market.

The greatest attraction...

Pros: low lux, compact, balanced, easy controls, amazing stills, excellent sound, progressive scan.
Cons: bottom loading cassette, no external mic jack.

Right out of the box, this camera's a beauty. First thing you notice is the sleek barrel design and the silver-gray color only compliments the streamlined appearance. Open up the large 3-1/2" viewfinder and you'll immediately notice a vast improvement ...

Pros: f1.2 lens, 10x zoom (optical), picture quality,
Cons: jackbox, manual controls are narrow
