JVC GR-D30US

Although I have only been using this camera for a short time, I am generally pleased with it. I used to have a much more advanced SONY DV camcorder which had many more bells and whistles but was also bigger and heavier (which is why it got stolen). To be honest, I never used many of those advanced tools. This is a very basic, easy to use camera which is perfect for people like me who will use it to make videos of the kids for family members and vacation videos. You can get this for a little bit more than what you would pay for a non-digital camcorder.

Low cost, small and easy to use.

Limited options for enhancing the video.
