Super VHS-C Camcorder

 

This is an excellent camcorder. Virtually brand new and had many features...especially the LCD panel. Tech for Less was outstanding for assistance in operating manual and quick shipping. Hard to find a VHS-C camcorder toady when everything is digital....

good for the $$$

 

This camera does a GREAT JOB for the price. It has all kinds of great features and effects. The only negative I can think of is that it makes a slight noise when zooming in and out.

Excellent choice for first time video camera buyers.

 

This is the first video camera I've purchased, and I'm completely satisfied with it after several months of use. I've found it to be affordable (important initial consideration), lightweight(important if you're brave enough to let the kids record),...

JVC GRSXM250 S-VHS-C Camcorder with 2.5" LCD, Auto-Light

I Think it's an upgrade from GRSXM240 S-VHS-C Camcoder. one special feature is you can use batttery or adapter power even when the battery pack is loaded.It also has a locking on/off switch,with a nice red button to press for recording.

Product Specifications

The GR-SXM250U is ready for 2003 with a new compact stylish design. This new design is the smallest VHS-C model to date with a 2.5" LCD. The JVC GR-SXM250U boasts three recording modes: it uses Super VHS recording to deliver up to 60% better resolution than the standard models for better quality home movies. For quality and economy, the Super VHS ET mode lets you take those high resolution videos using any VHS-C tape. For compatibility with any VHS video recorder, standard VHS is also available. A 2.5" LCD view screen allows the camera to be operated from any angle, for maximum comfort. The picture stabilizer gets rid of annoying picture shake. The 600X zoom makes sure you don't miss any of the action. A built-in light improves the picture in night time situations. Endurance Shooting allows up to two hours recording time with the provided battery pack. When you are done recording, the tapes play back and can be shared in any VHS video recorder using the provided VHS-C Playpak.
