The JVC GR-D370 MiniDV w/32x Optical Zoom features a powerful 32x high-performance optical zoom, 800x digital hyper-zoom, wide-screen 16:9 modes and a built-in tele-conversion lens. Thanks to a new auto feature, the GR-D370 is extremely easy to use. With a simple touch of a button, you can instantly switch between manual and automatic operation. At the heart of the camcorder is a 1/6-inch 680,000 pixel CCD. Other features include a data battery function that displays time remaining with and without LCD use; live slow, which records in slow motion while retaining real-time audio; an Auto Illumi-Light mode for illuminating dark scenes; Power-Linked operation that turns on the power and puts the camcorder in standby mode simply by opening the LCD; and a 2.5-inch LCD color monitor that delivers a bright, clear image by reducing reflection and glares, even in bright sunlight. An SD/MMC card slot lets you increase your capacity, and the camcorder also offers the option of taking digital still images.

 Excellent little camera June 11, 2006
Ben (Schenectady, NY)

This is the first camcorder I've ever owned. I saw it demonstrated on the shopping channel, and eventually went shopping myself for an equal good price. It's a 2006 model, and has only been around for a few months. After having it just a few days so far...I'd say so far so good! I'd have to say it's fairly simple to operate, and offers a great many bells & whistles for the price. The 32x optical zoom is what sold me, and it works like a charm. The digital zoom extends that to 64x and 800x. I have yet to try out the "super-zoom". The camera features stabilization control, but I'll admit its still tough to keep it steady even at 32x! The other features include night vision, live slow, an automatic focusing control, with auto white balance etc... and can operate as a digital (still) camera as well. If I was to make design changes, it would be to have some of the operating controls, FF - STOP - etc, on the outside of the unit, instead of having to open the LCD viewfinder to operate many of the basics. The only operational button within easy reach, is to release the pause mode & record from standby. Actually, the button to take "a picture" is right there too.
Battery power is ok I guess. The rechargeable pack (included) allows up to 90 min on average. To upgrade to a 3 hr or 7 hr battery will cost you!! No SD memory card included either.
So in the end, if you compare the features and prices of JVC's competitors, I'd say they did pretty well with this one.
 Nice for a while, but defect with condensation error November 5, 2006

This camera was great at first and very easy to use, however, the condensation error many others seem to have came true for us as well. When we first got the error it had not been anywhere near any water or moisture, so we put it in our cedar chest (we keep our house very dry and don't live in a humid area - Nebraska). This worked for a few months, but the error is now on permanently and the camera is useless. I wish it was different, but bottom line, this is a disposable video camera - a nice one, but still disposable!
JVC Does Not Stand Behind Their Products - JVC Lemoncorder August 15, 2006

I agree with the many other users who have experienced the "Condensation, Operation Paused" defect on their JVC GR-xxxx. Despite numerous others reporting this problem, JVC says its not a recognized problem. I would disagree - it is a recognized problem, but its your problem, not theirs.

Horrible Camera and Service August 2, 2007
James P. Matykiewicz (sedona, az.)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
First one I bought was defective upon purchase. Returned for new one at JVC advise. Second one broke after 5 uses and 6 months. Was told by JVC it would cost me $145.00 to repair. Total piece of junk and JVC will not stand behind their own product. Bought a Sony for about the same price and it is working just fine.
