Pros Takes decent stills when FULL sunlight is available, Decent video, compact, price
Cons Cheaply built, "safemode" error, low light HORRIBLE,
Recommended it? No

I bought this camera a year ago. Took it to Colombia and it shot DECENT quality. Low light was absolutely horrible. But you get what you pay for. While the camera was working it was OK. Just used to film little stuff...not like I was making a movie or anything. But after I came from Colombia the... Read full review »

Pros good features, easy to use.
Cons stops working after 5 hours of recording.
Recommended it? No

i agree with the review by ammazcd. this camera is less than a year old, has been used to record less than 5 hours of video, and now the playback is blocky. head-cleaning tapes are supposed to solve the problem, but they don't. more importantly, why should i have to clean the heads after only 5...

A Lightweight, in All the Wrong Ways

byulsterscot Jan 23, 2006
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Lightweight, reasonably simple menus.
Cons Bad colors in all light, awful image at night or indoors, truly abysmal still images.
Recommended it? No

My faithful old Sony Hi8 camcorder bit the dust, so I decided to 'upgrade' to the digital MiniDV, happy that it weighed about half what the old camera did. Well, first off, don't assume (as I did, alas) that 'digital' is going to give you a better video image. It won't--not in this price bracket,... Read full review »

Pros low cost lots of options in the menu decent quality in good lighting
Cons very bad auto focus for indoor scenes
Recommended it? No

The camera works OK for outdoors or well-lit or close-up indoor video.
However, I used it to video tape my son's play last year, and I was very unhappy with the results. I put it on a tripod at the back of the theater and left it on autofocus. The entire play was completely out of focus. I... Read full review »

Pros Good battery life.
Cons Camera needed to be cleaned after 2 hours of use.
Recommended it? No

I purchased this camera with high hopes. Boy was I diappointed. The camera needed to be cleaned after just 2 hours of use. Upon contacting JVC, they told me to ship it to an authorized JVC dealer and they would check it out. One problem. I have to pay for shipping and labor cost!! They will cover... Read full review »

Pros Good design, great video, fun to use, great audio performance
Cons battery life, lens cap likes to fall off,
Recommended it? Yes

I have used this camera now for about 3 months. I have taped well over 20 hours of video without a glitch.
Conversion to dvd was quick and easy using a firewire card. (for those new to video editing this is the accepted standard for video transfer and editing)
The color in low light... Read full review »

Great Camcorder

byakok116 Dec 31, 2005
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Excellent value
Cons Small buttons and slow rewind
Recommended it? Yes

I believe this camcorder is the best in its price range. It is my first camcorder and I am very happy with it. I have been transfering the tapes to dvd format with my cheapo dvd player to save money on the slightly expensive tapes (FYI it does not come with a tape). The snap-shot option is great...

Pros Quality overall is good
Cons No easy Video transfer to PC. (No analog input either).
Recommended it? No

I recently bought this camera at Circuit City and even though I liked the picture quality and the built in light and all, when I wanted to transfer the video to the computer, the USB interface does not work for video, only for images, there is no software to edit video and the only way to transfer...

Pros outstanding cam, good value,
Cons most buyers should spend more time learning how to use it.
Recommended it? Yes

GR-D270 has great features. Yes, the lens cap is crap and for the price it should be better. Loading tapes is easy, controls are good, and the design is good too. The battery needs to be charged before use, its normal for this type, they loose charge quickly when not used. An included fire wire... Read full review »
