JVC GR DA30US

The best feature of this camera is easy to use, it is such a nice that even a child can handle it! Moreover, the high quality 30x optical zoom with shake stabilizer quality makes it best among the similar range camcorders.
Compared to other similar camcorders on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $140.
I would highly recommend this camera for capturing family events.

thanks

We needed a new camcorder and this one fit the bill perfectly. We spent about $60-$70 less than what we would have paid in the store for the exact same model. The picture is perfect and the product is so light to hold you could take pictures for hours. We hook it up to our TV and enjoy the video we just shot. Easy enough for a beginner to use

The JVC GRDA30US is a good camcorder. It is very user friendly with easy to use controles. The LCD screen is clear and makes holding te camcorder a breeze. On the down side if your a person who likes to tape yourself it is hard focus with out being able to see what your looking at. But then again you can always us a tripod. All in all it is a good camcorder for the money just make sure you have a computer with firewire plugins if your going to use it to upload videos.

I was very pleased with the service and the product. I have one just like it and we are giving it as a Christmas to our son and family. It is in the shape that the seller said. Thank you for being very correct on your discription.
One again thank you.

For the money, this is a great starter camcorder! It is feature-rich and easy to use. I bought it as a gift for a friend, and have assisted him in learning to use it so can speak to its performance. The video quality is good but not great. My Sony DCR-HC52 provides sharper images, but cost about 30% more. The JVC is easy to use, the LCD viewing screen (no viewfinder) is remarkably visible in daylight so no hassle taking those great shots outdoors in sun. The JVC features include an "end finder" feature so if you've rewound and viewed your partial tape, you can easily tell the camera to locate the precise frame from which to continue taping. This is a feature not found on all camcorders, and it is VERY handy! I definitely recommend this camcorder for starter camera, or for a decent quality travel memories investment.

i love the true to life actions and the clearness of the photography of this little camera. my daughter has this very same camcorder but paid quite a bit more for it. i'm very pleased with it.will buy again when i see something that interest me. thanks much

Had some issues with the battery, but the seller went out of his way to address and fix them which was appreciated.

I pay the product but PAYPAL return my money, this is the mail that they sent to m

"Thank you for recent order. Unfortunately, we cannot process your order at this time because your PayPal account is supported by an international billing address. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. A full refund will be issued. Thank you for your time and patience."

i like the jvc, it is easy to work, it is very light and compact, I bought it thinking it was a digital camera/camcorder, i do believe it was a refurbished camcorder, however i did not see that in the discription, maybe i did not read it good enough, i will have to buy a digital camera/camcorder another time. The seller was very quick with shipping and handeling.

This product was actually purchased as a replacement for a previous model of the same brand (JVC). It has a very intuitive layout with controls being actually in front of you below the display so you can make changes while watching through the screen to see the changes as opposed to having stopping and using controls embedded in the side of the camera with a flip out style display. This particular camcorder was refurbished, and I must say that I could not see any tell tell signs of prior use. It looked completely new with the exception of the sticker that stated it was refurbished. Had it not had the refurbished sticker, I would have never known, I would have thought it was new. Now for the sliding display, I know that it is shown as a feature of being able to see it from high and low positions while recording. My flip out style camcorder actually has more range of motion because the display rotates. So, as far as the display is concerned, I just think it's a little bit of a "new and cool style" that is not actually as useful as the flip out type, but it is very clear and crisp and very easy to see even in daylight. Now, one thing to consider that I did not think about before I purchased. The main difference to me now that I have both, the rear sliding display and the flip style display is that the flip style display is protected when closed and the sliding display is always open to damage if not protected somehow. I cut a screen protector to fit the display for scratch protection. I am not sure if there is any kind of cover that is available for this model but it would have been nice to have included a form of protecting the screen when not in use.
All in all, this is a very functional camera, recording quality is excellent, and the size is perfect in the hand, and is not too cumbersome to carry for long periods of time. I am surprised at the quality for the price. I would recommend it.

Sure, on ebay you might be able to get a dv camcorder with microphone input and a hot shoe for about $200.00 or $300.00 dollars, or $700.00 to $1000.00 but that will still not be as convenient as the JVC GR DA30US, I know you hardly ever use that view finder and sometimes it can be kinda aggravating to always have to open up that LCD screen window on the side to see what your camcording or playback what you have recorded, that's eliminated with the JVC GR DA30US, instead you have a large LCD window already for you in the back which is also your viewfinder, on the side is battery department which is covered by door that comes on and off as the battery is installed, it prevents the battery from being seen and keeping that sleek, slim & petite stylish look, you can be holding the JVC GR DA30US in your hand without having to loose capture grip and still people might not know your holding a camcorder, when finished. you can put JVC GR DA30US in a pocket and yes, its a mini dv camcorder for only $134.00, free shipping! 5/26/2009
