 not compatible with Windows Vista December 6, 2009
Sunshine on a fall day
this is video camera is not compatible with Window's vista. the program that comes with it. STINKS! I didn't try to download and try until after the warranty had un be known to me expired. I bought an expensive DVD player that only plays what is on this camcorder. on the look again but will NOT buy a JVC.

Good camcorder for common shooting September 6, 2009

I bought this camcorder because I wanted to have one I could hook up to my computer and use iMovie to edit and burn to a DVD. This camcorder is a great buy for the money and comes with everything you need to get started. The LCD screen is crisp and the quality, when on its highest setting, is very good. This camcorder is compatible with iMovie and is small enough to go most places easily. This is a great buy for filming stuff outdoors. The battery life is about 1.5 hours with the standard battery so I would recommend buying a second battery. The recording time on the highest quality setting is a little over 7 hours so it will do most work just fine. A good entry-level camcorder.

I've had this camera for a year + now. It does a decent job. And as others have said, the color is so-so and if zoomed in you just about need a tri-pod, I can't hold it steady enough. But I have discover a HUGE problem. After updating to Vista I needed the install disc that came with the camera. I couldn't find it of course. I thought no problem, I'll just download it fro the JVC site. Well, they don't offer any drivers or software...just updates. You need the USB driver for this thing to work with your computer. Oh, you can use Windows Movie or some other program but most can't find the camera and are really a big pain to use. I googled for the driver on the internet and found nothing, nothing but people with the same problem.
You can buy (of course) the disc from the JVC Accessory store on there site for a mere 40 bucks!!! Yea, after spending a few hundred on their camera they insisted on another handful of money for the USB driver to use it. Not very good customer relations if you ask me.
Anyway, if you need the part number of the disk it's...LY32210-079A

I was very impressed with the quality and size of this cam. Though it lacks a lot of features of higher priced cameras, it makes up for it with size and ease of use. The biggest feature that is missing is the ability to manually control focusing and other features, but at the same time you can pull it out of a large pocket, open the cameras screen and start recording within just a few seconds. The 30 gig hard drive is enough to hold a ton of video. Since I received it, I have shot video all day at the SD zoo, Wild Animal Park, Sea World, Disneyland, and a couple of family gatherings, and still have a lot of space on the drive. I would suggest a couple of upgrades for this camera that can be purchased separately, one which is a necessity, which is an extra battery. You will only get a 1.5 hours of recording time at most. If you like checking what you just recorded it can be much less. These batteries can range from 30 - 75 on the net from my own research, some generic ones come with wall and car chargers, which tend come in handy. The other upgrade I would suggest would be lens filters and extra shooting lenses. I was able to get a 3 piece lens kit and a 2 shooting lens kit that fit this camera for around [...]. Most these lenses are just to broaden the scope of what and how good you can shoot something. The one lens I would make a priority wold be the uv lens it will protect the cameras lens and slow the degradation of the lens from uv light, and gives a little to the shooting quality. Another good purchase would be a lens hood, just to cut out more sun and glare. If you spend between an [...], you will go from having a decent fun camera to a pretty good and functional camera. Overall, for the couple hundred I spent on a refurbished model and the [...] I spent on upgrades, it well outperformed similar classes of cameras I researched, and most importantly I enjoy using it.
