Expert Review

 

The 2005 entry level camcorder for the JVC GR-D200 series, the GR-D250, is 30 percent smaller than last year's models, the GR-D33.  JVC's approach for this current GR-D series seems to be an emphasis on style, accentuated by functionality.  This...

JVC GR-D250 First Impressions Review - JVC MiniDV Camcorders

 

The JVC GR-D250 fits into JVC's low price market, with an MSRP of US$429.95 and likely to retail for around $350, a remarkably low price when many of the potential features are considered. We got a chance to look at it at the JVC booth at the 2005...

JVC GR D250

 

JVC GR-D250 MiniDV Camcorder w/25x Optical Zoom.

The Clear-View LCD monitor of the Canon GRD250 suppresses diffusion of internal light to deliver a brighter image and also reduce reflection and glare from external light so that images are always clearly visible even when shooting outdoors in...

Good Camera, HORRIBLE Support

 

Good, compact camera with many features. Works GREAT with Apple's iMovie via FireWire

Customer Service STINKS! Will probably never buy a JVC product because of previous experience.

GREAT Camera!!

 

Upgraded to this from a very small, low quality Mustek and I'm loving every shot I take with this JVC. AMAZING entry level camera for anyone looking to get into film production or even just family events. I personally use it for extreme sports videos, ...

DV in/out, LCD, Perfect size, 25x optical, Inexpensive

The zoom control takes a little getting used to, but that's it

JVC GR-D250

 

DV in/out at very low price.

The image stabiliser can't cope with the amount of zoom available - even when using just the optical zoom. The low light capability is pathetic. They shouldn't even be allowed to call it a "feature"
