from Circuit City Summary: If it''s good quality video in a stylish, highly convenient and portable package this is a solid choice. It took only a few days to get use to its size and functions. I now find myself reaching for the camcorder on all sorts of occassions, unlike the larger JVC I used before. Its portability alone, easily off-sets any compromises i.e. battery-life, low light, small controls. I''m not capturing memories for a lifetime that would otherwise be "heard" but not seen.
Is it worth it? One has only to ask the grandparents, who now cherish their video emails! Strengths: Style. Convenience. Quality of picture and unit itself. Once I got use to it . . . I fell in love with the remote unit. Weaknesses: Still image quality. If the battery time is problem (not for me) the double capacity back-up I purchased takes care of it while adding minimal bulk.
I did have some capability problems in terms of capturing ilink video with my laptop (Sony Vaio) and Windows XP operating system. The JVC software that came with the unit was pretty outdated by the time of my purchase. Window Movie Maker has worked fine for now. No analog input. Similar Products Used: JVC & SONY Customer Service: When I comes to capatibility problems they were all pretty pitiful from Sony to Gateway to JVC. Otherwise the unit itself has been bullet-proof.
