Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $576.00 from Dbuys.com

Summary:

A good video camera that is fun to use.

Strengths:

Ease of use, Comfortable feel. Good quality video. Can take 1 meg photos, but I prefer my Olympus Digitcam in this regard.

Weaknesses:

Poor quality LCD display. Cannot judge video quality by it. Play back is full of distortions(twinkling areas in the video.)However, viewing final product is a great relief. I will have to calibrate what I see, in the LCD, to what I will get in the final video somehow. Night function is useless. Outside of these things, it's a good camera. I am not sorry I bought it.

Similar Products Used:

Panasonic VHS-C cam

Customer Service:

Customer service was exceptional. I ordered a GR DVL320, and had a problem with panning. It would hesitate and was jerky. Called up for exchange for a GR DVL920U. I return the 320 and received and obtained the 920 two days after Dbuys got the returned 320. Quick & efficient service.

Review 3 of 3

Price Paid:  $799.00 from P.C. Richards

Summary:

It came down to this and the Panasonic 702, which wasn't available anywhere. We purchased this and I am mostly pleased with the choice. This is a great video camera that allows you to take 1 MEGAPIXEL stills. It has a light, LION battery, it's DV format, can be used as a webcam, software is easy to use and although it doesn't say it's compatable with XP that's what I have and it works fine. Quality is excellent on video and stills, it's easy to use, including the use of it's menus, it has a large 3.5 LCD and a COLOR viewfinder. Great camera, but not the least expensive.

Strengths:

Image quality of video and stills auto light USB connection BIG 3.5 LCD w/excellent image quality COLOR viewfinder 16 MB MM card included Webcam ability Easy to use Easy software setup Edit protocal Digital and ANOLOGUE-IN

Weaknesses:

No mic-in No headphone jack (but it has a built in speaker No infrared (but can use slow shutter speed to compensate. This is purely a personal preference).

Similar Products Used:

Sony handycam other JCV models

Customer Service:

none required
