Summary: Display screen has gone twice on this camcorder
Review: I've had this camcorder for almost 4 years now and yes it is extremely portable and compact, but the screen on this camcorder has gone black on me twice. The first time it went it displayed a rainbow of colors when opening the display which made it useless and had to send it out to JVC for repair and had no camera for almost 3 weeks. Now it has just gone bad again and this time it's completely black making the eyepiece the only way to record which is nearly impossible on this small camcorder. Overall, the color quality and features are good from this camcorder but I've had too many problems with this item now to give it more than two stars. Any consumer shouldn't have to replace an LCD screen on their camcorder 2 times within a two year time frame. I wouldn't recommend buying this item. While the portability of it is nice, the lack of being able to actually record on it far outweighs any of it's strong points that it does have. With a newborn and 3 year old at home I need a camcorder that actually can record on the fly and shouldn't have to worry about whether or not the screen will turn on.

Summary: Horrible customer service
Review: It's true: tiny size, you can really take it wherever you want, high quality video (low quality photo, though), etc., etc....But... I have one since 7 months ago and I have had it with me only for three months (the other four, it has been at the store -or I don't know where, because it didn't work) -at JVC nobody wanted to give me a new one (even though the camcorder was under warranty) and they tried to repair it three times before it was finally OK (they "simply" sent me the camera saying that the problem was already fixed, but it wasn't...).

Review: The size makes this tiny camcorder easy to carry anywhere I go even through no Camera zone! Though the still pictures aren't that great, for the size is really worth the buy. The Firewire port makes video editing very simple and easy with the DV port on my pc. The USB enables you to download MP3 audio clips from the internet where you can use it during recording. MPEG4 makes video-mail easier. You can record any part of your movie from the camcorder itself and sends the MPEG4 file to your PC through USB. I love the Slow X 10 features during night filming but you have to place it on a tripod or hold it steady. I was hoping that there's an Analog In so that I can record video from the TV or VCR. But with such a small device, I can't complain too much though. Hopefully JVC can come out with a solution in adding an Analog-in plugin :P
