Summary: JVC has a lot to answer for here...
Review: First, the positives. This is a solid, stable machine. The optics are decent; it seems to have the right amount of 'bells and whistles' while not being overly cluttered with features that are beyond the need of the average user. It does, however, have one glaring problem...the camcorder's output is analog, not digital. The only place JVC makes note of this fact is in the front of the instruction manual, where they state that while the camera records digitally, the output of the machine is, in fact, analog. I called JVC and was told that only the DVM5 and similar high-end machines would offer digital output. Even with S-video to my Mac, I'm still editing analog video...and I might as well have stuck with VHS-C!

Summary: Great price for a digital camera

Summary: A wondful cameracorder
Review: I liked the JVC GR-DVF10's automatic lens cover and basic remote control for VCR or remote recording applications. Its 2.5-inch LCD screen swivels 180 degrees, allowing you to record above your head, put yourself in the video, or let our subjects see themselves as you record. The JVC GR-DVF10 provides a 16x optical and 160x digital zoom--great for getting closeups and recording faraway events.

I believe you would like it! It is wonderful!

Summary: This unit was even better than I expected
Review: I purchased my Digital Camcorder while visiting the baseball spring training in Florida. I hadn't really done a lot of research but was an owner on an Hitachi Camcorder and had numerous electronic problems with it. I found this unit easy to use with one review of the instruction manual. I agree with the person from Orlando that the off/on switch is cumbersome but it is something you have to adjust to. The snap shot feature is great as it gives you a great still picture and breaks up the traditional viewing of a long recording. The clarity of digital is superior as I have my old VHS cassettes to compare it to. I'm in the market for JVC's JLIP unit which allows you to interface the camcorder and computer for downloading pictures. I paid 1/2 the price for this unit vs. the Hitachi and would totally recommend it to the everyday family movie taker.

Summary: Good Value
Review: I've got this from somewhere else. But Amazon's price is cheaper than what I have paid. Overall features are great. However a Firewire connection to the PC will make it perfect in case you do a lot of digital imaging stuffs. Also, would take a little time to know how to use it.

Summary: great camcorder but insufficient information comes with it.
Review: I've had my jvc model grdvf10 camcorder for over two years and have used it a lot and like it a lot. I do have a complaint though. Recently I decided to figure out how to hook it up to my computer which the salesman assured me I can do and which the instruction book indicates is doable. Well they're both right but neither of them told me it takes an accessory costing [more money] to make the hookup. That the salesman didn't tell me this and that the instruction booklet doesn't indicate it is avery misleading and I am not at all happy about it.

Summary: No 1394/Firewire Capability
Review: Older model came out just prior to 1394 standard. Lots of features, many of dubious value. RCA-style jacks are the only way to get video (analog only) to your computer for editing, limiting its usefulness as a digital camera. Included accessories are just gizmos that don't help the editing process. If you need digital AND want to edit with your computer, buy a camera that has 1394 capability. Otherwise, spend your money on Hi8 with more available features.
