- Unreliable
Don't waste your time on this junk. Mine blew up just out of warranty with a tape loading problem. Repairing is almost as expensive as purchasing a new model.

I've checked other JVC problems on the net; broken CCDs, reset problems, etc. Stay away from JVC; I wish I did.

By the way, JVC is terrible in low light compared to my 10 year old Sony 8mm.

- Best in both world (video & still) for the price
For USD399, you get good quality video and digital stills. PC Magazine review this as one of the highest resolution camcorder [...]. DVSpot also give this camcorder good review. Included battery life is short. But you can look in Amazon for JVC VUA228KIT Camcorder Starter Kit for GRD33US/72US/93US/200US/230US & GRDV500 which has 4 hour battery, MiniDV tape, and case and it only cost you USD30 (after huge discount).

What I would like but not exist in this camcorder:

- Great Video, Very Decent Snaps
This is probably the best time to buy this camcorder for an unbelievable price of 399.00, its well worth it! Video quality is great and photos at 1600*1200 res. aint bad for a camcorder!! If you are planning the get it, think about buying another battery (gets drained fast) and a SD card (the 8mb card provided wont do).

- Good
I bought this two weeks back.It got no compatible issues.Works great.Only prob is little heavy 650 grams .One last thing advanced options are pretty bad.Good for point and shoot.

- Poor compatiblity
One of reason that I purchased this camcorder was to transfer the wedding video taken by a friend using a Sony Camcorder.

Surprsingly, this JVC model cannot even play back the tape properly. The two replacement units Amazon sent to us do not work either!

To verify the tape itself, I tried one Canon and one Panasonic camcorder at local BestBuy. It can be played flawlessly.
