So far I like the camera. Very simple to operate, and serves its purpose. I wish the lense cover was automatic, but not a big deal. I do not care for the software that comes with the camera, at all. But with that in mind I did not buy the camera for the software. I found the best way to, edit, manage or upload things to the internet is with a seperate video editing software that is realativly inexpensive. I use Cyber Director, (I think that is what it is called) and it works much better for editing and uploading videos.

Battery life is longer than advertised. Lens cover can only be opened/closed manually….should be automatic when you turn camera on/off. Good deal for the price. Easy to operate.

This is a wonderful compact camcorder for filming family and sporting events. I prevously had a Sony handcam which uses DV tapes, but it finally broke down after 10+ years. This JVC camcorder is about 1/4 the size and weight of my previous one, so it’s handy to put into my purse. I also looked at the new Sony handycams, but I was not impressed by their image stabilization. The JVC camcorders were much better. The controls are pretty easy to operate. I read the manual front to back, but I was able to show my husband how to use the basic controls in 5 minutes. He probably could have figured it out himself, since it’s fairly intuitive. I like how the camcorder turns on automatically when you open the screen. We tape our daughter’s gymnastic competitions, so the 45X zoom is fantastic since the equipment is usually far from the spectators. The zoom button is a little hard to operate with your right finger since it’s also holding the camcorder, but you can also zoom using the screen. The picture quality is fine, if you want better, you might want to get the HD version. For the price, it’s definitely a good buy.
The only disappointment for me is that JVC camcorders output in their proprietary .MOD format, which is not readable on my old MAC 10.4x Tiger OS. I found a s/w program that supposedly converts various formats that the MAC can read, but the output resolution was awful. I ended up using the JVC supplied Pixela s/w to create a DVD that I can play on the TV. The Pixela s/w is OK, and you have to do some reading in order to figure out what you want to do, but it does the job. I wish I can use iMovie on the MAC since it has more features and is easier to use.
