Sheila, Isle Of Man, “VERY amateur photographer”

Small and compact so fits easily into a handbag. Looks really good. Not at all complicated so anyone can use it. Has a vast memory. Straight to hard disc so no fiddling around with discs or tapes.

Battery pack provided is small so larger one needs to be purchased. Camera is still very new so we have not yet used it to it's full capacity. As we gain experience we hope to develop better image quality

This is an excellent camcorder, the images are great and the camcorder is so easy to use, you just plug it into a PC press one button then it backs up all your films in an instant or you can burn straight to disc to watch on DVD player (dvd burner required). The camcorder is really light and tiny and fits in your hand perfect. Excellent zoom and sound too. RECOMMENED.

like all camcorders their are some bad points like when you full zoom its really shakey unless youv'e got a tripod but thats happens to even the really expensive one's as well. But thats all.

Cracking little camcorder that is easy to carry around, quick to set up and easy to down load information. The image quality is crystal clear although the sound doesn't pick up too well. Very satisfied and have recommended it to others.

Ability to pick up sounds. Battery soon wears down.

Light weight and quite easy to use. The quality of the lens is very good.

The autofocus can be a bit jittery. Sometimes the image goes out of focus momentarily when an image in the foreground moves.

I feel that this is a great entry level camera which you can pretty much pick up and start shooting with straight away. The camera itself has a great feel to it and oozes quality and seems sturdy and reliable - which is what I expect from JVC.

Very easy to use, above entry level camcorder. This will meet the requirements of most people who simply require a good quality, robust piece of kit for normal everyday recording.

The image quality is not the best that I have seen but, in terms of cost/benefit, it is a fantastic purchase.

Very easy to use with good battery life. Light enough for a pocket or hand-bag. Looks the business, too.

Supplied archiving software is easy to install and use but has a visual interface better suited to a 7 year old than an adult. Some GUI options more suited to adults would be nice.
