Strengths: Light weight, easy instructions, inexpensive, great picture
Weaknesses: Battery wears quick.
Summary: This is a great camera if your looking for something low cost and has most features than a professional camera. This camera was easy to set up. Firewire connects great to my PC and it comes with editing software. The battery wears a little to fast, but you could buy an optional one with more run time. I recommend this camera highly.

3 Star ReviewThis is a very good camera for the price it works ...
Strengths: good featured camera for the price
Weaknesses: night capability is very poor
Summary: 2003-01-07 21:02:59 This is a very good camera for the price it works well with the editing software (Studio 7) and handles very well. the only drawback is the night shooting capability which is very poor.

1 Star Review This camera out of the box was fine, a good camer ...
Strengths: Works really good for the first year or som and then you will begin to encounter problems, as soon as the one year warranty runs out. But video quality is adequate, manual controls are easy to use.
Weaknesses: once the one year has gone by, you cna throw it away. everything is a weakness afterwards. B&W Viewfinder, small lcd, low light capability
Summary: This camera out of the box was fine, a good camera for the guy around the house that wasnt looking to have superb video quality or make a motion picture, with my case i filmed skateboarding. THis camera begin to show faults about a year after i purchased it, and they kept piling on top of one another until, one day, it just stopped working. You can throw it away after that because the JVC crew isnt very helpful.
