Not impressed...

I purchased this camcorder after "researching" as best I could various brands (Sony, JVC, Canon, etc) and formats (DVD, MiniDV, Hi8, Digital8, etc.). I settled on this because according to JVC's website the features/specs were pretty much equal to a ...

Price, pass through from analog to digital

Quality, cheap plastic housing, still images unusable, not reliable after normal use

Nice size, weight

Riddled with digital noise / pixel distortion problems, rendering camera unusable

Crystal clear video and audio. Quality of stills. So many features. Easy to use.

Can not connect external mic or video light, however I could live without them.
