I'll get the few pro's out of the way first: image quality seems pretty good even in low light (although this is my first HD camcorder, so I don't have much to compare it to). The price is pretty good. The Bluetooth feature is unique (although, let's...

I purchased this back in June but didn't really get a chance to start using it until now when my daughter's volleyball season started at High School. Just for reference, my previous camcorder was the JVC GZ77U. Hard disk camcorder. It was an...

I'm taking this piece of junk (JVC GZ-HM550) back. I'm writing this review to save others from making my mistake. This is sort of raw info. I apologize. Don't have much time, but want to get this posted ASAP to warn others. I am not at all a...

I've had this camcorder for about a week now and so far I am pretty happy with it. The one thing that really strikes me as odd is selling a HD camcorder, but not including a HDMI cable in the bundle...? Playback of the footage recorded on a full HD tv...

FIrst things first, for some test footage I shot, go to [...] and search for jvc 550. So I just bought this camera yesterday, and its my first dedicated HD camcorder. I've been using a Lumix fx-37 and more recently lumix ZS3 to shoot travel videos in...
