JVC Reviews

Older model came out just prior to 1394 standard. Lots of features, many of dubious value. RCA-style jacks are the only way to get video (analog only) to your computer for editing, limiting its usefulness as a digital camera. Included accessories are just gizmos that don't help the editing process. If you need digital AND want to edit with your computer, buy a camera that has 1394 capability. Otherwise, spend your money on Hi8 with more available features.

I've had my jvc model grdvf10 camcorder for over two years and have used it a lot and like it a lot. I do have a complaint though. Recently I decided to figure out how to hook it up to my computer which the salesman assured me I can do and which the instruction book indicates is doable. Well they're both right but neither of them told me it takes an accessory costing [more money] to make the hookup. That the salesman didn't tell me this and that the instruction booklet doesn't indicate it is avery misleading and I am not at all happy about it.

The JVC GR-DVF10 lets you take still photographs in a number of formats, from simple snapshots to borders and even multiple thumbnails. If you want to download and edit your digital still images and video on a computer, however, you have to purchase a separate video capture card first.

You will not be disappointed with this purchase. I compared the price with many other camcorders that had the same features and I couldnt believe what a savings this was. When I recieved it it took apprx 1 hour to charge the battery and I was recording.. I must add the durablilty is Great! (I dropped it on our cement garage floor and not one thing was broken with amazement! ) Great buy-& lots of fun with a professional touch! :)

I bought this camcorder two years ago and never used it until a few days ago and it fell apart the second I began recording! The lens fell right off! and there is nothing I can do to get it fixed I should have tested it when I bought it. I do not recomend this camcorder as it is very cheaply put together.

I bought this camcorder no one can fix it for me the cheapest place was asking for 300$ for fixxing it even it was small problem before u buy ur thing cheak who is the best for repair after sale

I bought this for my husband for christmas. We both found it very easy to use with great pictures. I couldn't afford a digital camcorder, so I went for the digital zoom. The digital zoom is amazing!!!! With a stable picture. The features are also fun.

I recently go a JVC camera, works wonderfully -- I especially liked the download capability into my PC. Then I upgraded the PC to Windows 2000, and the PC could not talk to the camera any more...

So, if investment protection is on your list of requirements, buy from a competitor who will support newer Windows versions and not leave you stranded...

This is a great first time camera. It is so easy to use that my next door neighbor, who was 5 at the time knew how to use it without me having to tell him anything and he isn't very bright. It is very simple to figure out, you press the red button when you start when your done you press it again. The only flaw is the battery that came with it has memory meaning you have to run it all the way out before you recharge it or it can only fillup to the level you stopped at,for example if you run it down 70% and then recharge it it will only go back up to 70%. The memory battery isn't the best!!! But the camcorder is great for anyone.

I have used this camcorder now for at least 3 years and it's a wonderful camera. I have used it everywhere, including weddings, birthday parties and during vacations. Since this camcorder is VHS formate, I like it how my recordings can easily be played in any VCR with just an optional VHS playback adaptor. It has neat features, like digital wipes and fades that can be used at any point to make a transition between scenes. It even reduces unwanted jitters from recordings made while walking or in a car. I also like it because it's very easy to use; and it has great digital zoom.
