    To expensive2
    Before you buy the Jazz DV151 pocket camcorder check for the camera at Wal-Mart. You can purchase this item much cheaper there.I also saw this camera at a local drurg store much cheaper then Amazon. I over paid for this product and it's not as good as the Flip pocket camcorder. If you want to buy a toy for your children then this camera will work but if you're looking for a pocket camcorder for an adult keep looking.

    A Good Value, But Know What You Are Getting!3
    Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2EH0IIHOBJGG1 We found the "Jazz DV151" pocket camcorder at one of the big box stores for somewhat less than the current retail price on Amazon. At roughly 1/2 to 1/3rd the price of the Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60-Minutes (White), it seemed to be worth the risk of buying it as a backup pocket camcorder. Here are my observations:

    Pros:
    * Acceptable video quality *FOR THE PRICE* - it is only 320x240, not even VGA (the Flip wins hands down)
    * Very good microphone - this was real surprise, the microphone is more sensitive than the Flip
    * Has built in USB connector - Like the Flip, but only USB 1.1
    * Comes with a USB extension cable!
    * Works as a SD card reader when connected to PC via USB (see above)
    * Has Video Out - can be connected to a TV for playback, cables included
    * 1.5" LCD screen can rotate for convenient viewing while self recording (the Flip cannot)
    * Saves files in AVI format - No conversion needed

    Cons:
    * Low video quality - it is 320x240 (but again good for the price)
    * Does not come with any memory - You must buy a SD card (up to 2GB) before using

    Misc:
    * Uses 2 AA batteries (not included)

    So for a really inexpensive camcorder, with YouTube usable quality, this is a fairly good option. For use in any meaningful way, not so much.

    Manufacturer Description
    Just keep on shooting! Nothing to load, nothing to eject, nothing to finalize. Everio is designed to eliminate your worries. Just keep on shooting, because the built-in large capacity hard drive easily stores hours and hours of your video inside a lightweight compact camcorder. Plus shoot thousands of digital still images. So whether you're at home or on the go, you'll always be ready to record or playback your memories.

    Smart Advantages of JVC Hard Disk Camcorders

    JVC Everio HDD camcorder highlights
    Long-time recording Hard disk drive offers high capacity so you can record entire events like vacations without worry or fuss, over 37 hours.

    No need to buy additional recording media No tape or disc is required. The Everio G Series provides an all-in-one solution, ensuring no interruption during long-time recordings, so you won't miss a moment.

    Direct access to scenes you want No need to fast forward or rewind. Just click on the thumbnail image and watch your memories come to life. Makes sifting through hours and hours of accumulated footage a breeze.

    No risk of erasing previous recordings by mistake You won't ever record over those once-in-a-lifetime events. Recording starts automatically from the blank space on the disk.

    Easy deletion of unwanted scenes So you don't have to worry about getting it right the first time, safely select and erase entire scenes in an instant to free up disk space. Use your camcorder with a freedom never before possible!

    Simple editing is possible on the camera itself In-camera file editing and Playlist functions let you choose the scenes you want in the order you want, without the need for external editing.

    Easy archiving with PC-less DVD creation Just connect to the optional Everio Share Station via a single USB connector, and push the Direct DVD button. It's that simple! Automatically burns a DVD containing all recordings, selected recordings, or just new recordings.

    Hybrid advantage with HDD/SD card dual storage In addition to the internal Hard Disk Drive, these hybrid camcorders also have a slot for an SD memory card so you can store videos and stills on this commonly available memory card.

    Everio GZMG255 Highlights

    Over 37 hours of video and nearly 10,000 photos The internal large capacity hard disk drive stores over 7 hours (30GB model) of DVD-movie quality video or over 37 hours in Economy mode. And no matter which image size you choose, you can shoot nearly 10,000 stills with plenty of space left for your videos.

    JVC Everio HDD camcorder highlights
    Compact and lightweight design With a 1.8-inch hard disk drive built-in, its lightweight compactness is not constrained by the size of videocassette or disc media, nor does it require a space-consuming loading mechanism. That's why most Everio models are able to weigh in at less than 1 pound including battery.

    Gigabrid engine for high-quality video and stills The redesigned image processor for Everio G series incorporates 6 digital noise reduction systems to improve the S/N ratio by about 30 percent (3dB) over previous models. The integrated MPEG-2 encoder features circuitry that reduces the block noise and mosquito noise that can occur with digital video recording formats. It's assurance that all of those Gigabytes of video and photos you shoot will offer the best picture quality available for each recording mode.

    JVC Everio HDD camcorder highlights
    34x optical zoom The GZ-MG130 is equipped with an industry-leading 34x optical zoom for incredible magnification with full optical quality. Digital zoom takes you up to 800x.

    MPEG-2 DVD-quality video Using high quality MPEG-2 data compression, you can record DVD-Movie quality video. A new buffer accommodates suddenly moving objects. As well, the "turbo" variable bit rate system maintains a high average close to 8.5 Mbps, but increases sharply for dynamically moving scenes.

    Hard disk drive protection and stability To safeguard the Hard Disk Drive from shocks and vibrations, Everio G camcorders incorporate the latest Hard Disk protection technologies.

    Floating Suspension (Shock Absorbers) Effectively dampens vibrations through polymer shock absorbers, allowing active camcorder use.

    JVC Everio HDD camcorder highlights
    Gravity Sensor System (Drop Detection) Automatically senses sudden acceleration such as in a free fall situation. The camera power is turned off and the writing head is disengaged to avoid disk damages*.
    *This function does not guarantee protection of hard disk against all instances of droppage and physical impact.

    SD memory card slot All Everio models also have a slot for SD Memory Card so you can store videos and stills on this commonly available memory card. SDHC Memory Card is also supported for higher capacity and higher speed.

    Quick restart Open the LCD and you're ready to shoot in about 1 second! So before you can say "lights, camera, action!" you're already rolling. Never miss a crucial moment.

    JVC Everio HDD camcorder highlights
    Stick control for easy operation A multitude of functions with the 4-way one-finger control on the outside edge of the LCD. Pressing the four "compass points" on the circular control operates everything from menu item selection, and manual camera settings while shooting, to playback control.

    Auto flash and auto illumination light The built-in flash and video light functions automatically so you can shoot brilliant images even in low light situations.

    Program AE A full array of effects is available so you can choose the right exposure or shutter speed automatically according to the scene you're shooting.

    Data battery Allows you to check the remaining battery power by percent and remaining recording time in minutes at the touch of a button, even while the camcorder's power is off!

    JVC Everio HDD camcorder highlights
    Built-in sliding lens cover Slide it shut to protect the lens when the camera's not in use. It's integrated, so there's no risk of losing it like a lens cap.

    Superior low-light performance Delivers bright and natural coloration for your videos even in low-light situations.

    Advanced Photo Functions

    Aperture Priority/Shutter Priority modes The Aperture Priority mode controls the depth of field while the Shutter Priority mode lets you select the shutter speed according to the subject.

    Auto exposure bracketing Automatically shoots 3 shots with sequential exposures when you press the shutter.

    Histogram display Graphically shows exposure distribution within an image you've shot.

    HORRIBLE!!!!1
    This is the worst waste of money ever! We've had it for a year, and are still unable to burn a dvd that wont skip, or freeze up! You can not edit you video with out purchasing the software, and the software is a joke!!! Your forced to only use this software, and you can't even delete parts out from your segments you have to split the segment where you want to delete, and then trim the beginning of the next segment to remove unwanted video! I spent six hours trying to edit a dvd because the software runs so slow, and at the end it told me I had to purchase the software if I wanted to burn the dvd! I WILL NEVER PURCHASE JVC AGAIN!!!!

    Inefficient customer service1
    I ordered this product with the understanding that it was new (as advertised). The next day, I received an apology stating that the item was refurbished and Ritz Camera offered a $20 voucher for future purchases, or the option to cancel the order. I opted to cancel the order. The next day, I was informed the item had already shipped, and that I would have to deny the package so it would be returned for reimbursement. When I called customer service to discuss their error, I got someone who seemed to be reading from a script and unable to answer simple questions. Then I was told that I would have to wait 7-10 days after they received the camera before I saw a refund. The refund process did not start until I called to remind them that they owed me money. Eight days later, I received my refund, but without the shipping costs. I was dumbfounded that I was being charged for their mistake. After multiple contacts, I received an automated message stating that I would also be refunded the shipping costs, which took another 7 days. In total, this error took nearly a month to resolve and would not have been corrected at all had I not hassled customer service and sent multiple emails in hopes that it would reach someone who could give me more information than what I found on their website's package tracking page. I had a horrible experience and should not have had to fight to get refunded for a mistake that was not on my behalf.

    DO NOT BUY THIS CAMCORDER1
    DO NOT BUY THIS EVERIO GZ-MG330 camcorder it you are a MAC user. Its a piece of junk when it comes to its software, and really in this day and age thats what really matters. Its files are incompatible with MAC programs, read Quicktime, iMovie. This is something identified for over 2 years in websites such as "Gadget Review"--wish I had seen it before I made the purchase. Do not take anyone's word that this or other models are compatible with MAC programs. Demand a demonstration before purchase. Its absolutely nuts that you need to go through multiple programs (all at a purchase) in order to download your video files. Note that the JVC website provides no information on reconciling the incompatibility.

    Amazon.com Product Description

The GR-D250 has a 680K-pixel CCD with 340K effective pixels for video, and it can capture still photos and store them onto the tape.

The Data Battery function uses a new style of battery to communicate the remaining life to the camcorder, which will display the amount of time available both if the LCD is open and if it's closed with the press of one button on the camcorder battery.

    The Super High-Band Processor that restores the high-band components of the luminance signal to ensure a crisp picture with 520 lines of resolution. The enhanced low-light sensitivity of the NightAlive function lets you capture clear, full-color night images without relying on infrared rays, which results in color images and no limit on the shooting range.

    The GR-D250 measures 4.4 x 2.2 x 3.7-inches (L x W x H) and weighs 0.9 pounds.


    Customer Reviews

    Never Recieved - Got Refund1
    After waiting several weeks for this item I checked the UPS tracking system and learned that the product was damaged in a train derailment. I emailed back to Amazon and was told they would look into it. A couple of weeks after that I finally got a refund (after I'd had to pay interest on my credit card, of course.) And to top it off, Amazon keeps asking me to review the product, which is kind of pissing me off, really. I'm happy that the issue was resolved, but upset that I had to be the one to initiate the communication to get it resolved. Having said that, I would still shop from Amazon in the future.

    Lens Cap on Error1
    Camera was great until the "Lens cap" error message came on in the middle of recording my son's first band concert. Have emailed JVC about so called free repair which isn't free because you still have to pay for shipping back and forth to repair center. Stay away for JVC.

    Famous "Lens Cap" Error1
    I recorded about 5 tapes in this unit and now I get the famous "Lens Cap" error that seems to plague JVC Camcorders. It will record audio, but no video. This Camera is not on the JVC repair list. What a piece of junk.

    Customer Support is a mis-nomer with JVC. They know they have a problem, but refuse to even listen. Do not buy a JVC camcorder.

    Amazon.com Product Description
    Combining 1.3-megapixel stills--albeit interpolated--with a 10x optical zoom, the PV-DV202 wraps some great features in its plastic and metal body. Images are stored on SD cards--an 8 MB card is included--and can be downloaded to your computer via USB. For those that like to shoot in low-light conditions, the camcorder also features a built-in color-recording mode for those types of situations. According to Panasonic, the mode will help reduce the graininess often associated with low-light shooting.

    A zoom mic and a built-in light are included with the PV-DV202, along with an MPEG-4 movie system, which lets you capture compressed video clips for e-mailing to friends and family. Additionally, Panasonic includes a software suite from ArcSoft for organizing and printing still images. The camcorder also features a composite video out, S-video out, and, of course, IEEE 1394.


    Customer Reviews

    You Get What You Pay For.. In This Case, Not Customer Service3
    I'm giving this product three stars, because our PV-DV202 was a very good camera.. until it quit working. The quality of the video and even that of the still shots was very good. Panasonic cameras are also generally very user friendly. Beware though of Panasonic's customer service. Its Internet and telephone contact system is notorious for not returning requests for assistance, routing its callers through a confusing phone tree to poorly synthesized voice messages or long waits to talk to a customer representative. If you are seeking to repair a product that is out of warranty, your camera has actually just become a very expensive doorstop because repairs will usually cost you more than the camera cost new. We found this out the hard way. We were very happy with the camera for the two years of gentle use we gave it. Suddenly, the tape head went bad and we discovered the ugly truth about Panasonic, that it sells its cameras at a competetive price by reducing its customer service overhead. If you are nonetheless willing to take this risk or choose to buy an extended warranty for the camera, then Panasonic's customer service situation would be a non-issue for you.

    Worth the money5
    This is an excellent Digital Cam. It has great features that are easy to use. Also, the quality is very good. The only negative is the slow digital picture taking between clicking and being to take another picture. I have owned this camera since it came out. I use it alot and never had any problems with quality or functionality.

    Camera locks up when recording1
    The camera locks up when recording, and it's already fallen outside of it's 90 day parts warranty.

    I can't find much out about what's wrong on the Internet, and of course, since most of these types of repairs can cost nearly as much as what the camera cost, it's turning into an expensive paperweight.

    This camera has disappointed me because I couldn't take movies of my Kauai trip.

    From the Manufacturer
    The Sony DCR-HC20 MiniDV Handycam Camcorder (PAL format) packs big features in a small package. It features a large 2.5" hybrid SwivelScreen LCD display with touch panel controls, a high-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, NightShot Plus infrared recording system and USB streaming capabilities, all in a case that is 25% smaller than last years model. It even includes the innovative Easy Handycam button, which automates most functions and makes recording a snap.

    Special Note: This camcorder was made for use outside the U.S. (it uses the PAL video format), and it is not covered by any U.S. warranty. It requires a PAL format monitor for playback.

    The MiniDV Format offers more precise image detail and color accuracy than previously possible with analog camcorders. The superior quality of digital video results from:

  • Higher Resolution -- up to 530 lines of horizontal resolution, on select models for sharper picture detail
  • Component Color Sampling -- preserves three times more color information than analog VHS and S-VHS video, for brighter and truer colors
  • Time Base Correction -- stabilizes the picture, eliminating video jitters
  • Error Correction -- fills in missing video data, providing seamless, professional-looking video

    Features of the DCRHC20 include:

  • 1/6" Advanced HAD CCD Imager, 680K Pixels Gross: The 1/6" Advanced HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD with 340K (effective) pixels provides stunning detail and clarity, with exceptional video (up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution) and still image performance.

  • 10X Optical/120X Digital Zoom: The optical zoom helps to bring the action up close from far away. In addition, the digital zoom interpolation means that extreme digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zooms.
  • 2.5" Hybrid SwivelScreen Touch Panel LCD Display (123K Pixels): This provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The 123K pixel LCD display makes images sharp and detailed during playback or when monitoring recording. The Hybrid Reflective-Transmissive LCD Screen provides accurate viewing in sunlight or bright light, virtually eliminating the "wash-out" common with traditional LCD Screens.

  • InfoLithium Battery with AccuPower Meter System: Charge the battery at any time because unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries, Sony's rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries are not subjected to a life shortening "memory effect." Sony's exclusive AccuPower meter displays the battery time remaining in minutes in the viewfinder or the LCD screen.

  • 12-Bit/16-Bit PCM Digital Stereo: 16-Bit offers the same outstanding sound quality as a compact disc. 12-Bit recording enables you to add an additional audio track with compatible audio dubbing equipment or i.LINK®* interface compatible computers.

  • Photo Mode: Using Sony's unique Adaptive Frame Interpolation for better image quality, you can store hundreds of still images with 7 seconds of audio on the videotape.

  • Program AE (Auto Exposure) Modes: Program AE modes make recording easy even when filming in challenging situations. Choose from Portrait, Beach & Ski, Sports Lesson, Landscape, Spotlight, Sunset & Moon modes.

  • Accessory Shoe: Allows a position on the camcorder in which to place optional accessories.

    Supplied Accessories
    AC-L25 Power Adaptor/In Camera Charger, NP-FP50 InfoLithium Rechargeable Battery, RMT-830 Wireless Remote Commander Remote Control, CR2025 Battery, Multi A/V Cable, LCD Cleaning Cloth, USB Cable, CD-ROM w/ USB Driver (Picture Package Software v.1.0 for Sony).

    Amazon.com Product Description
    Now that MiniDV has become a mainstream product, users demand extra features in addition to regular digital video performance. The Sony DCR-TRV70 is well equipped with technological additions, such as a 2-megapixel digital camera and networking capabilities. The camcorder also features a 10x optical zoom, 16:9 widescreen mode, a 2.5-inch LCD with touchscreen control, and a color viewfinder.

    Step-up Value
    Here are two Sony features that adds value to this digital camcorder and differentiate it from other models in the Sony lineup.

    product image 2.0 Megapixel Sensor: Of all the world's consumer camcorders, Sony was the first to break the megapixel barrier. Working with high-resolution recording and high-precision Sony custom optics, the benefits are dramatic. You'll see amazing detail on everything you shoot. Every blade of grass. Every strand of hair. The names on the back of player uniforms. And megapixel resolution is also a great benefit in Sony's Digital still camera function (Memory Mode). You'll be able to shoot images at 1600 x 1200 pixels, for prints up to 8 x 10nches.
    product image Digital Still Memory Mode: Capture digital still images directly onto Memory Stick media for easy transfer to e-mail, printing, or sharing with compatible Memory Stick devices. Digital still images can be captured while in Memory Mode, or images from the videotape can be captured onto Memory Stick media. This feature provides the Dual Function of having one camera for video and still images, and provides the user with a whole new world of imaging possibilities.

    Image Stabilization
    Sony's SteadyShot picture stabilization keeps your images smooth and steady without degrading picture quality. The technology uses motion sensors, which tend to be more accurate than most other systems used in the camcorder market.

    Optics
    The multicoated Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar lens ensures balanced and clear contrast. The advanced HAD CCD sensor records images accurately in vibrant color and sharp resolution. The TRV70 has a robust 10x optical zoom that fits most purposes, but for extra distance the camera can reach 120x through the digital zoom. A hologram autofocus system and several autoexposure modes allow for automatic operation--while achieving ideal images for the situation.

    More Features
    You can record video in low- to no-light situations with Sony's NightShot system, which uses infrared light to capture images invisible to the human eye. With the function on, subjects up to 10 feet away can be seen in total darkness. You can also use the color slow shutter for color night shots instead of the regular green night-shot hue.

    Sony's Stamina power management system and InfoLithium battery give the TRV70 a long operating time. To keep you informed of current battery life, Sony's AccuPower meter displays the number of minutes remaining right in the viewfinder.

    You can take digital stills and record small MPEG EX movies using the included 8 MB Memory Stick. This is where the 2-megapixel resolution CCD really shines, creating images that can be printed at sizes of up to 1,600 x 1,200 pixels for prints up to 8 by 10 inches. The intelligent pop-up flash keeps your images well-lit and visible.

    The TRV70 features a 2.5-inch color LCD and a color viewfinder. The menu is accessed via a touchscreen display on the LCD, reducing the clutter of buttons on the camera. A stylus is also included for ease of use.

    The USB streaming feature can turn the TRV70 into a video-conferencing tool or a Webcam, and the standard IEEE 1394 connection can be used for digital video editing on a computer. The TRV70 is network-capable and can connect to the Internet with a USB-PSTN adapter.

    MiniDV Format
    MiniDV is the preferred format for personal and broadcast-quality video, highly regarded for its high audio and image quality. With up to 540 lines of horizontal resolution and minimum color noise, MiniDV delivers a 20 percent clearer picture than analog camcorder formats. This is all delivered on a cassette that's 1/12th the size of a standard VHS tape. A MiniDV tape offers digital recording time of 2 full hours--20 times the capacity of a CD.

    Contents
    This package includes the TRV70 camcorder, power adaptor and in-camera charger, InfoLithium rechargeable battery, 8 MB Memory Stick, stylus, wireless remote, AV cable, lens cap, shoulder strap, USB cable, two AA batteries, and USB drivers.


    Customer Reviews

    I Am Very Satisfied5
    I searched and searched for the best quality camcorder for the best price. If you find a good deal on it, this is it. Great quality, easy to use, great manual controls, as well as an easy to use touch screen (I was unsure about the touch screen for a while until I bought it, and it's really not too bad if you don't mind having to deal with using the stylus instead of just pushing a button). It is bigger than the newer camcorders, but that can be a good thing - more stability, less shaking. One thing about it that I searched for but rarely found in other camcorders is that you can input from a tv or vcr (with the proper outputs) to record tv and old vhs onto dv tape, then you can use a firewire (or usb) to put it onto your computer and burn it onto dvd. It is kind of a hassle to do, and it takes forever if you use the highest quality on your computer, but it's worth it to preserve your old tapes. So here's all the good things this camera has:

    intelligent shoe
    manual focus ring
    manual exposure (touch screen)
    widescreen recording
    12 and 16 bit sound recording (sounds great, but may need an external mic for more professional audio)
    AV in (one mini input, need to find a cord like that)
    mic in (mini)
    headphones out(mini)
    touch sensitive zoom (great for slow zooming)
    lots of settings for different lighting
    backlight control
    nighttime shooting (green, but great distance and detail)
    cool effects
    great quality video

    Great video in all outdoor lighting conditions5
    This is my fourth camcorder, and first digital camcorder. I bought it to record my child's soccer games to make a DVD to send to college coaches. It recorded steady sharp video in all lighting conditions, including heavy overcast, light fog, and night games under stadium lights. I also bought the remote controll tripod, which makes it much easier to start/stop recording and adjust the zoom (the remote control zoom buttons have the correct sensitivity, as opposed to the camera zoom control as noted in a review below). The only problem I had that caused the loss of a few minutes of video was that the camcorder started displaying "Cleaning Tape". I packed the tape (fast forward to the end and rewound) and recorded over the bad section. I now pack the tape again whenever I insert a new one in the camcorder

    Awesome camera - worth the $$$$ spent5
    Spend a lot, get a lot more. Although it was a tough choice to spend the money when I purchased my TRV70, I have no regrets. My camera is DA BEST!. After I figured out the Still Picture recording is best taken when not recording video simultaneously, I never looked back. There are so many features to mention but I don't use. The key things to consider:
    - Bigger lens, means better image
    - Good size CCD is a treasure; otherwise 3 CCD is next option
    - Manual focus override; in photography, this is VERY important
    - Backlight control; it's a great override in low light conditions like opening up your camera aperature
    - Manual disable of on-board flash; continue taking pictures when flash is not allowed
    - Touch screen LCD is sweet, don't listen to button fanatics
    - Steady Shot works.... when camera is light, more chances of jarring movements, so here its really important.
    - Memory stick convenience ... buy larger capacity, more over time.
    - Battery Status; Info-lithium means no guessing game. By several small batteries, charge them, and carry them a-l-a Rambo.
    - Don't install Imagemixer software. Instead, use Sony's Screenblast Movie Studio 3.0. You'll be happier.
    - Don't skimp on footage. Take lots of footage. It's easier to edit, than to say... I don't have enough!

    It's unfortunate, Sony is discontinuing the product in 2004. It's a great product! I'm ready to buy a second one so I can get the same footage from another vantage point. Silly, two people using different cameras. :-)
