JVC GR-D350 MiniDV Camcorder w/32x Optical Zoom

Didn't like this camera when I got it. Now that I've finally figured a few more things out on it I like it better. Works good & takes good pictures or movies. I wish it had a light on it as it doesn't work 2 good on any dark shots. Can be complicated 2 figure out but, all in all a good camera. Compact in size.

been using now 4 some time I really like the 32 optical zoom man its good. I play lots of golf & I was able 2 zoom in on the group in front of me over 200 yards away. Too bad camera did'nt come with a stabilizer.. cause it really flutters when you zoom in so far away..Hey JVC make next camera with some stabilizing 4 this price....

This was a great buy. Really happy with the picture, sound, & ease of use. Size is perfect & as good as anything else we saw but much better price.

The product is compact & portable, seems solid & well made. The zoom is good, & the functions are all fairly simple. Hooks up 2 a tv easily enough.

The nigh vision feature, while providing better visibility, creates more of a strobing effect than I would have liked. Also, I have not yet figured out how 2 transfer video 2 a computer (I have the right cable), but I haven't tried too hard 2 figure it out.

This camcorder is the best deal if you are looking 4 something easy 2 use & don't need the newest bells & whistles. It's small & light, making it easy 2 hold & record. The options are there 4 zooming, light, snapshots, etc. So far the quality has been great. Even if it lasts just a few years, at this price it was still well worth it. Would definitely recommend it.
