SimplyDV Review: JVC GR-DF420 DV Camcorder

 

Ergonomic, sturdy design and layout ; excellent image quality and good functionality in auto and manual ; top-loading tape transport

Fiddly menu selection and playback controls ; non-tilting viewfinder ; widescreen mode doubtful ; lack of headphone output

Good all-round performance at a competitive price that beginners and upgraders will consider great value for money. Recommended.

Rubbish

 

I have this camera and was able to use it for about 13 months before it started to error. Now will not play tapes or record anything. Also had to go back for repair while in guarantee due to software fault. I really regret purchasing this camera very...

Very Poor

 

Despite performing very well when I first had it, after about 8 months the lense stopped working all together, and it cost £120 to repair. A nice paper weight, but a useless camcorder!
