Frustration!

I got this camcorder quite a few years back when it cost £400! the features on the camera are impresive and so is the quality of recordings, as others have stated its a great camera but once you've owned it for a while and you start to get adventurous...

JVC GR-DX25EK

For the price it is exceptional. Sits in the palm of your hand and easy to get around, no cumbersome bag. Good zoom and you can watch what you have recorded on the LCD monitor with sound. Overall it is excellent.

Consumer review by: Nibelung (dooyoo.co.uk)

I'm Waiting For It To Come Out On DVD!

I'm now on my fifth camcorder, believe it or not. The first, about 10 years ago, was a Sanyo Video 8 job, which was a disaster in terms of picture stability and dirt ingress, and which led to my migration to a Compact S-VHS Panasonic job, which was...

Small and lightweight, More likely to get used, Good price for the quality

Possibly too small in some aspects, Easy to press the wrong button or cover the mikes, Lowish battery endurance
