Summary: Great camera for an excellent price
Review: I have used this camera for a few weeks now and it works great. It is very easy to use and has all the features of other cameras that have a higher price. I had no problems at all downloading the video to my PC using a Western Digital firewire board. The quality of the video and sound are great. I do plan on getting a 2 hour battery that was recommended in another review.

Summary: Are you looking for batteries for this camcorder?
Review: I haven't bought this camera yaet, I'm still shopping.However while I was shopping around I went to a retail store that had this model, they also had the JVC VL300. So?, you say. Well from what I can tell these are almost the exact same camera, there are a few minor differences but one thing that looked identical is the battery. And a quick search found lots of suppliers for the JVC branded batteries. You will want to check out the specs, but physically they look identical and the cameras definately share the same design. Good Luck! BTW I gave this a 5 rating because I can't post without a rating but from what I've seen it's a very good camcorder. Probably order it soon.

Summary: Great value and Features
Review: I picked this camcorder up for a song. I've had it 3 years now and it still has not given me any problems. It is solid for the light use I give it without sacrificing quality.
I have yet to be disappointed by anything other than the still photo function. No built in memory makes for a weird playback sensation as a still shot stops the video and then fades from a still shot to the moving video again. My recommendation is to use this as a dedicated video camera and buy a good still camera.
All in all, this camera has been a good buy. I have used it in the Caribbean, Europe, Canada and across the USA with none of the pesky dew problems panasonic has or the mechanism problems of the jvc.

Summary: Worked great for a while
Review: I purchased this camera in July 2001 and generally it has worked very well. It took great movies and I had no trouble connecting it to my firewire card to download movies. However, since we purchased it we received intermittant e04 errors that we could not always correct by resetting the camera. The RCA website is no help, in fact it will not even allow you to register a camcorder as a product! Overall the it did take great movies, however I have been very dissatisfied with the camera's reliability and with RCA's support of it.

Review: I purchased this camera on 12/31/01 and used it for the first time on 1/18/02 after less than 5mins of taping a message came on to clean the heads the picture was choppy and big red lines were across the lcd screen when played back. Also the camera would not hook to my ieee 1394 port on my gateway performance 1700 pc. I called rca and was told there was no adapter for this camera to fit my pc needless to say I returned the camera to the store and am now waiting for .... to ship my Sharp wish me luck. I will reveiw the sharp once I have used it.

Summary: Overall, a good DV camcorder...
Review: I recently purchased this camcorder for my wife, who will be taking it back to Canada when she visits her parents for a month. We've been trying it out, and have been extremely impressed by the ease of use, not to mention the excellent video/audio quality. The menu system is easy to get used to - however, if you're anything like me, you'll probably be fumbling with it to get to the effects you wish to use - it doesn't seem that there is any way to switch between them quickly. As well, the digital still (photoshot) function of this camcorder is wonderful - who needs a digital camera? (Okay, so that comment will probably get me into some hot water). The only gripe about this camcorder is that it is next to impossible to find extra/replacement batteries - as the included battery only lasts for one hour (if that...), I decided to pick up an extended life battery - unfortunately, the RCA.... website did not have anything listed! However, I did find one site ...which does carry both the standard and extended life battery, although you pay a premium for both of them (I expect that this will change, as this camcorder is a great product). Great zoom functions, too. I love it!

Summary: Just starting out
Review: I've really just started out with this camera, so my rating at the moment is based on the ease of use. It's incredibly easy to get up and running in no time at all. All the controls are easy to reach and understand, and the video quality is very good. The only problems I've had was the first time I attempted to hook it up to my computer through the FireWire. It took Windows ME a long time to "install" the camera, but once it did, it took next to nothing to download the video in Windows Moviemaker. I'll be exploring other software soon. I'll update this review when I'm more familiar with the camera, but for beginners like me, I think this is a great choice.
