Adoiv this camcorder!

Author's Rating: Rating: 1/5 stars

Pros: Nice size and good video quality.

Cons: Less features than the competition, and repairs are too expensive.

If you still want to waste your money on a JVC, get the longest extended warrant that you can because it will not last past 5 years. Read More
