I shopped around looking for a reliable and easy to use video camera that I could use and then download directly to my PC without having to convert the video to an editable format... and JVC has come through nicely. Editing and then creating a DVD with the Everio software is a breeze. — The easy to use buttons and menu interface make the camera a perfect hybrid video recorder and digital camera. You can choose to record video to the hard drive or SD Card (Secure Digital) which can then be accessed through the camera itself or by way of a usb card adapter (and many newer… read full review »

The Sony HDR-SR11 is money well spent! I love the face detection technology. I am amazed at how much recoding space is available on the camera and you can add a memory stick to get more storage. I do wish the battery it came with held more charge time, but at least you can get a larger battery (expensive though). Right now I do not have a way to make HD DVD's from my recordings so I am recording in the standard def. mode & it looks amazing! I am very pleased with my purchase!!! —… read full review »

This is a great digital video camcorder.  It is a JVC GR-D350u.  Some of its most used features for me are the backlight compensation, which works great when the image is not visible because of the bright background light.  It also has wipe or fade effects. Small enough to carry around.  The LCD monitor is able to be rotated to view at just the right angle.  It uses mini DV cassettes which are at a great price.  I received an ac adapter to charge the battery, which lasts for 90 minutes on a full charge. — It is a great digital video Cam, easy to use and… read full review »

I can't complain.  This is a great camcorder for the money.  It was easy to set up and use right out of the box.  I like that it is a hybrid and that you can record to either the dvd media or the memory card (which is not included).  You can also take still photos which aren't the best but definitely an option that you will use since its so convienent having the photo button right on the… read full review »

We wanted a new compact camcorder primarily for the family, but also for my husband to use for the military and outdoors. This fit the bill great! With built in memory you don't have to worry about forgetting the DVD's or tapes. We also bought the additional memory card just in case, and an extra battery/case. We have had NO problems yet. Easy to attach to computer or tv, simple to use and produces excellent images. Small and easy to use and carry. Actually I think it and it's case are smaller then our old Sony Digital… read full review »

This camera is worth every penny, and the technology used (hard-drive instead of miniDV or DVD) is much easier to use than the others.  The hard-drive allows for much greater functionality rather than having to lug around a bunch of miniscule tapes or fragile dvds.  Also, the hard-drive's 30gb capacity means you can keep on rolling the video as long as your battery lasts  -  and there's even additional batteries that you can purchase to help keep the film rolling even longer.  The ease and functionality of this little gem give it five stars in my… read full review »

Amazingly, this is the first camcorder I ever purchased.  I've always had a nice camera to record those special moment, but, never a camcorder.  Part of the reason was they always seemed so expensive and I just never wanted to deal with all the different tape formats they've used over the years. — This camcorder has a built in 30gb HD and you can add a memory stick too.  It fits perfectly in my hand and is very easy to use.  As an added bonus, it has touch screen controls on the LCD.  I love this unit and I love the fact I never have to change out any… read full review »

Great little simple camera.  I've had it about a month and still on the original set of batteries (2 AAs).  Easy to use, easy to view, and easy to transfer to the computer.  Great price from Amazon.  One button to record, one button to playback, and one button to delete.  The USB port "flips" out the side, plugs into the computer, and the software installs automagically.  It comes with a cord to connect directly to a TV, but I have not tried it yet.  So far, everything else has been great, so I expect the same when I do get a chance to connect to a TV… read full review »
