Best of Both Worlds - Camcorder and Digital Camera

Author's Rating:

Pros: Easy to use. Comes with software to edit video and capture stills. Small & lightweight

Cons: Cannot find third party battery that is compatible. JVC batteries are expensive

Bottom Line:
Great as a camcorder and since its digital allows for many hours of fun in the editing room. It is also a fair compromise to use as a digital camera. Read More

Affordable, but not worth the money ...

Author's Rating:

Pros: User friendly interface, detailed manual, affordable price, durable.

Cons: Poor on-line support, no on-line driver database, Windows XP doesn't always support this camera.

Bottom Line:
I would have to recommend another camera, possibly a newer JVC, or a Canon/Sony, although those cameras are pricier, they are a better buy than this camera. Read More
