4Easy for the whole family to use.  Feb 23, 2008
As basic consumer-grade camcorders go, this is an excellent product. At $265.00, you definately get your moneys worth. The camera is easy to operate; My 10-year old son had it figured out in no time.

The optical zoom provides excellent range, but like all cameras, the digital zoom is pretty much useless. I believe the only difference between this model (JVC GRD796) and the JVC GRD770 is the battery. The GRD770 comes with one larger battery and the GRD796 comes with two shorter batteries. Having two smaller batteries has 2 big advantages: 1) You can charge one while you use the other. 2) The smaller batteries don't get in your way when you use the viewfinder. With the GRD770, the battery sticks off the back to far and your face bumps into it. So if you talk or move your face at all, the camera will shake.

Both the audio and video quality are good for this type of camera. You won't be winning any picture quality awards indoors, but the camera does a great job outdoors in the daylight.

Having always been a bigger fan of still photography than video, I like the image capture feature on this camera. You can press the easily located still image button (even while you are recording video) and capture a still frame. They download and print out just like any other digital camera. I was recording my son's basketball game and I captured the video and at the same time got a great still photo of him making a basket. I can't keep the video running on my desk at work, but I have the still shot displayed proudly.

Overall, this is a great starter camera for the kid who wants to make it big or for the mom and dad who just want to capture their child's first steps. It even fits nicely in the diaper bag.

4Cool product  May 15, 2007
Generally a nice product. But I was surprised that it won't record video on a memory card (MP4). Other camcorders of less quality are doing so. Anyway, with an IEEE1393 card, I was able to transfer my stuff to the computer. Nice for low light condition.
