Great camera--but a little sensitive

Love the camcorder and the fact that you never have to buy tapes or those stupid little 20-minute discs. The quality is great. And you can upgrade to a three-hour battery, so battery life isn't a concern. My only drawbacks: 1) camera can be very sensitive; I took it to the beach and jostled it around a little and the zoom and focus stopped working, and 2) using it with a program like Sony's Click to DVD software scrambles the clips, so when you edit before burning to DVD you have to go back, frame...

Convenience, convenience, convenience, and features!

I moved up from a MiniDV camcorder to this one because of the hard-drive recording. It was a *great* purchasing decision. My personal favorite features:- Plug it into your computer, drag and drop the clips to your computer, rename them from .MOD to .MPG, and then author a DVD. NO CONVERSION NECESSARY! Records AC-3 audio.- Easy manual control- Intuitive navigation of the menu structure (MG21 has a 'stick' control while the MG20 did not)- 16:9 recording! Fills up my HDTV.- 32x OPTICAL zoom- ~5 hours...

JVC Does Not Stand Behind Their Products - JVC Lemoncorder

I agree with the many other users who have experienced the "Condensation, Operation Paused" defect on their JVC GR-xxxx. Despite numerous others reporting this problem, JVC says its not a recognized problem. I would disagree - it is a recognized problem, but its your problem, not theirs....

What a fantastic camera!

This is my first digital camera ever, and I've got to say I could not think of anything better. The idea of not having to buy tapes or disks to record on was one of my main reasons for purchasing it. Think of it this way: 3 digital tapes usually costs like $20+ and imagine how many tapes you could go through in the span of a few years. With this camera you just transfer it straight from the camera to your computer... no tapes involved!It's a good idea to buy this camera. Yeah it's a little more...

Excellent little camcorder...

We purchased this camcorder because we have our first child on the way and it has far exceeded our expectations to date.First off, it is incredibly small and easy to carry and hold.The hard disk recording media is the way to go for us and eliminates the need to purchase yet another type of disc or tape.For the way we use it, this unit delivers quality video and good sound.The default settings are not the best in low light situations, but menu adjustments can be made to improve low light recording...
