JVC GR-DA30 Mini DV Camcorder- nice price, but.....

Date of Review:  Jan 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: Inexpensive, small, and pretty easy to use except for the stupid menu joystick button.

JVC GR-DA30

Date of Review:  Jul 10, 2009
The Bottom Line: This is a good choice for those looking for a basic but good quality camcorder without a huge investment.

Sensible, easy to use and inexpensive BUT

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 2007
The Bottom Line: Nice, cheap, fragile, back by JVC (not a plus) acessories very expensive, possible gouging here
Review: Great looking, easy to handle, lightweight, straight forward camera, very affordable priced little camera with a large screens and no more squinting through a small view finder. It won't tire out your arm either. It's a nice looking camera BUT......

Great Little Camera

Date of Review:  Dec 9, 2007
Review: Great Camera, does a good job without spending a lot of money. We don't use it that often so we could not justify an expensive camcorder. This camera really produces surprisingly good videos.
