When we purchased this camera it was among the top of the line for MiniDV camcorders. It features 1CCD Chip, which allows for crisp quality. The 200x Zoom is effective and crisp. The LCD Screen is also vibrant and clear. The compact size of the camera...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Price

As a young filmmaker I was quite perplexed when it came to what camcorder to buy as I took that step into the digital era. I researched much like you are now, trying to find what was right for me. Luckily I did. With JVC's 70U digital camcorder, I found...

Pros: compact, easy to use, tons of extras
Cons: big hands don't apply, microphone placement

The GR-DVM70U is everything the experienced cameraman or the novice cameraman is looking in a digital camera.

First of all, it is so damn small! You really won't believe how small this camera is until you see it. It is about the same height...

Pros: Easy to use, easy to handle
Cons: -

When our daughter was born, we took out our ancient (circa 1992) Sony Camcorder and realized how out-of-date we were when the machine would record for 30 seconds at a time and then stop on its own. But we wanted something to help keep our precious...

Pros: Tiny, high quality video
Cons: Audio problems, mediocre software package

This is a fine little (and I do mean little) camera that you could carry around all the time. However, you will pay a price -- both in dollars and in compromises -- for it's extreme compactness. Mine is nearly a year old; for the first couple of...

Pros: Very compact, stylish and produces excellent video
Cons: motor noise during recording, short battery life.

If you’ve read any other reviews I’ve written, you’ll know that if a product does it’s job to good effect, I’ll recommend it. Whether it’s a mini-disc recorder that gives me Dylan on playback after I put Dylan in on record, or a car that makes driving...

Pros: great quality for movie and stills, very small
Cons: none

The first word that came to mind when I saw this camera was "wow"! After using this camera several times and reading all about its capabilities I can honestly say that this is one of the best camcorders for under $2,000 on the market.

Pros: Small Size, great features, top quality product
Cons: Initial lack of support and not made for pre-G4 MAC users

The first attraction of the digital camcorder is its size. It is about the same size as the average adult palm, and with the auxiliary battery pack it's still light weight. This camcorder features video and still photos, which can be stored in a...

Pros: Size, features, format
Cons: none, except it is sort of pricey.

I recently got married. On the honeymoon we took my parents VHS-C camcorder to document the trip. I thought it was a reasonable size and a decent product until the last day we were there. Another couple had a tiny digital video camcorder. We did not...

Pros: Good quality moving pictures, small size
Cons: PC software poor quality, 640x480 for stills is not competitive any more

I bought this in October 1999 because I wanted a camcorder (for a party) that could also do digital stills. As my needs grew, however, I discovered the limitations of this device, especially in the area of integration with my PC. In this day and age...

Pros: Great video image quality, small form factor
Cons: Average still image quality, high repair costs, uses hard-to-find mini-DV tapes

I bought this camera in late December 1999. Video image and stereo sound quality is excellent; easy interface with TV and VCR; nice features like being able to import and export still images to Photoshop; IrDA software works well for beaming images to ...

Pros: You can link the camera to a PC, compact, 200x digital zoom, image stabilization
Cons: costs a lot (but it is not that expensive considering the features it has)

JVC is a fine company which makes great electronics. I have a JVC radio/tape player that is probably older than I am and it records to tape better than all the newer tape decks I own. Well my dad bought the DVM70U off of ebay and I must say that I am...
