 Best I've found for the price May 12, 2007

I recently purchased the GR-D770 MiniDV Camcorder to replace an eight year old JVC VHS-C camcorder. I did a bit of research online, and the JVC had to most features for the cost. The audio is excellent, as is the picture quality. The zoom is smooth, and all the controls are conveniently located; the menus are easy to navigate with the thumb stick. Also, synching is up to my laptop was a snap, after I bought a 4-pin to 4-pin DV cable (I didn't see any in the price range that included one).

I bought this camera at Fry's and it was a deal that came with a tripod.The camera is great this is my first camcorder it was easy to operate and easy to learn the controls.i hook it up to my macbook pro an start up idvd and it transfer almost with out touching anything.It is easy to control and the zoom is very good .If you move fast the camera takes 10 secs to refocus the only drawback so far.I wish there was a car charger for it but i have yet to find one if it exist
It's a good entry level camera June 18, 2007

But the key phrase here is "entry level". It's true that it has numerous features and a great zoom on it. But the picture is a little bit lacking in my opinion. The colors seem a bit pale at times, and in low light situations like in a room there is picture noise (grain). But that's to be expected for most entry level cameras. This is my first digital camcorder and I wanted something inexpensive to capture memories of my two year old and vacations. And really it does that just fine. But if you really want something that that reproduces color well and keeps the amount of picture noise down, then you should look to get something that costs a few hundred more.
Very Good Inexpensive Camcorder December 7, 2007

Although this camcorder is relatively inexpensive, it does have enough features to make it a perfect video camera for anyone. No one will know you only paid a little over $200.00! Very small footprint, fits in the palm of your hand. I have another camcorder that I paid about 3 times as much for and unless you are a professional, there really is no difference!

I've only had the JVC GR-D771(U) for about 3 hours and I'm already sold that this is the model for my family! There's still plenty of time to discover the quirks of this device, but at this present time I only have positives to say. First off, the A/C adapter is dual voltage. That's an absolute must if your traveling (or stationed) overseas. The camcorder comes with a USB cord in the box, BUT also has a firewire port that can be utilized to transfer video to a computer or recording device. It's extremely easy to use (which in most cases means limited capabilities)EXCEPT in this case...
*it's got wind noise cancellation,
*a stability feature (called DIS, but I don't know what it stands for)which comes in handy when your using 900X digital zoom
*16:9/4:3 formating
*270 degree rotating LCD so you can see what you look like while recording
*2 or 4 channel stereo sound recording
*a blinding LED to illuminate subjects in the dark (there's also a night recording option but I haven't tested that yet)
*you also have the sweet ability of dubbing images from the miniDV tape to the SD/MMC in playback mode
*There's B/W, sepia, strobe, and mirror options as well as fade in/out effects
* You can also use this as a webcam with at least windows messenger, I haven't tried yahoo or aim...sorry
I'd say the only bad thing about the JVC GR-D771(U) camcorder is that there isn't enough time in the day to play with it!
