JVC GR-DA30

Pros: Light, inexpensive, easy to use, great battery life

Cons: Volume/focus and record buttons are two close together for us fat fingered folks.

Review: I bought this after having a horrible experience with a JVC Everio HDD camera. The mini DV tapes are way better to work with than the HDD. This camera is light, easy to use, and does everything I need it to do. The guy who rated this camera as a one star ...

Pros: nice price, size

Cons: stupid joystick-like menu button hard to deal with.

The Bottom Line: Inexpensive, small, and pretty easy to use except for the stupid menu joystick button.

Pros: Smalll, actractive, unit from the far east..

Cons: fragile. Poor battery life. JVC product (A Con) Price gouges $50.00 for a battery!

The Bottom Line: Nice, cheap, fragile, back by JVC (not a plus) acessories very expensive, possible gouging here

Review: Great looking, easy to handle, lightweight, straight forward camera, very affordable priced little camera with a large screens and no more squinting through a small view finder. It won't tire out your arm either. It's a nice looking camera BUT.... ...
