JVC GRD70 MiniDV Camcorder with 2.5" LCD, 16x Optical Zoom and SD/MMC Card Slot

Amazon.com Product Description

The compact JVC GR-D70 is a stylish, go-anywhere digital video camcorder that incorporates all JVC's key camcorder technologies. This entry-level MiniDV camcorder is 50 percent smaller than previous models and features a 16x optical zoom, picture stabilization, a digital still mode, JVC's Night Alive feature, and a 2.5-inch LCD.

Optics & Audio
The GR-D70 offers a 680,000 CCD with 520 lines of horizontal resolution. Combined with JVC's super-hi-band processor, you'll be assured of capturing crisp, clear video. Equipped with a 16x optical zoom, the GR-D70 also features a 700x digital zoom that allows you to zoom in for incredible close-ups. You can also zoom in on any part of an image during playback with the 44x pinpoint zoom.

The GR-D70 also features PCM digital stereo sound in either 12-bit or 16-bit options. The 16-bit mode offers one set of stereo tracks and achieves the same quality as CD, while the 12-bit mode creates two sets of stereo tracks. Audio dub is possible when recorded in 12-bit mode.

Digital Stills
The still mode is capable of capturing crystal-clear still images of up to 1,024 x 768 pixels. The images are stored onto an optional MMC or Secure Digital memory card. You can also record still images onto the video cassette with a "shutter" sound effect in full frame or pin-up mode.

More Features

Remote control features include playback with special effects, zoom, slow motion, and audio dubbing-insert editing

MiniDV Format
MiniDV is the preferred format for personal and broadcast-quality video, highly regarded for its high audio and image quality. With up to 520 lines of horizontal resolution and minimum color noise, MiniDV delivers a 20 percent clearer picture than analog camcorder formats. This is all delivered on a cassette that's 1/12th the size of a standard VHS tape. A MiniDV tape offers digital recording time of 2 full hours--20 times the capacity of a CD.

Customer Reviews:

Low quality, short lifespan.......2006-04-28

Low light image is sub standard, but what can you expect for the price. Sadly the CCD blew up 30 days after 1 year warranty expired. It will be cheaper to replace than fix.

I'm not buying another JVC to be sure!

JVC = Garbage.......2006-04-14

Don't waste your time on this junk. Mine blew up just out of warranty with a tape loading problem. Repairing is almost as expensive as purchasing a new model.

I've checked other JVC problems on the net; broken CCDs, reset problems, etc. Stay away from JVC; I wish I did.

By the way, JVC is terrible in low light compared to my 10 year old Sony 8mm.

Good Camcorder until "condensation" problem.......2006-02-27

I have had this camera for about 2 years. Worked great until about 6 months ago. When i would turn the camera on I would get a message that said "STOP CONDENSATION" it would last for a little while then the camera would work OK. As time went on, the message appeared more often and lasted longer. Now, it's hard to even use the camera, it works 1 out of every 25 times i turn it on. JVC won't respond to e-mail's and i have done everything to fix it that i have read on the internet. I cannot take it to a service center because they want $100 to just look at it and i think I can get a brand new one that hopefully will work for about $200. But you better believe it won't be a JVC.

JVC products have serious CCD sensor flaw.......2005-10-18

I owned a JVC GR-D33US camcorder for a little over a year and the CCD sensor just went out on it and it gives a "lens cap" error message even with lens cap OFF. Not a good product if it only lasts for a little over a year!

This camera is not worth rating.......2005-01-14

This camera is a piece of Junk. Battery was gone after 60 days. Spent 8 months trying to locate a battery. Now unit stays in unusable "Unit in Safeguard Mode". If anyone out there has an answer for this problem, please let me know. hosdoc@mynewroads.com

The nine foot HighFlex cord will reach within the cab or around the office.

Excellent Quality Ballhead.......2007-04-04

The Bogen-Manfrotto Maxi Ball Herad is first rate! It's build is rock solid, as is it's stability when used with a good quality tripod. I use it with my Canon 20D and a Canon 100-400mm lens. It is as steady as they come. There are less expensive heads out there, but you get what you pay for. Definitely recommended!

No problems - over a year and 100,000 Airline miles later.......2005-03-28

This unit has been a great travel companion! Worked from day 1, reads all my burnt DVDs including DVDRW with no issues!

Bought a spare battery for the extra long flights and all is working well!

Power Failure.......2004-04-18

My children received the Coby for Christmas and it was wonderful and worked great through 3 movies and the power would not come on. We sent it back and got another one and it only worked through one movie and the power did not come on. I would not recommend this product based on others having the same problems.

DEAD BEAT UNIT - NOT WORTH BUYING - AVOID AT ALL COSTS.......2004-04-12

I had the same issue as lots of people in here - Unit played 4 good movies and then suddenly one morning it refused to Turn ON - just displays a red Light and does not power up . tried everything...nothing worked.... i would not buy this unit for free even----now i know why sony is sony and all these small coby's are trash..

Very Neat, Until it Fails........2004-03-29

Worked through about three movies, and then failed! Very strange. It would appear to be a power reset issue of some sort, as if it can't work out to use battery power or the adapter connection. When the power key is pressed, the front LED dims for about a second, as if it is trying, then simply sits there. If the battery pack is connected it's LED will switch on for that interval.

Still searching for some reset mechanism. If anyone has some info, please post, as this is a very nice unit with great build quality otherwise. Other interesting things:

-Rotating the usint on it's y axis can cause the spinning disk to brush against the internals if you do this too quickly.

-There's a little holographic sticker over one of the screw holes that says "NO WARRANTY IF TEARED UP". Funny! I hope this isn't the reset button.

Cool Design, Very Happy.......2004-03-20

I purchased the same product at my local Fry's store, before a business trip to Europe. It was branded as Digix model SDV17; but is exactly the same product as the Coby. I got an incredible deal on sale $249 (new, not reconditioned).

I did a lot of research before buying, and I must say I am very happy with the unit.

PRO:
- Very cool design - even has a little kickstand to place on at table

- Solid build quality. Much better than expected. Only the Sony had better tactile quality.

- Battery attaches to the bottom of the tablet, and does not increase the thickness of the unit. Cleaver design, the batter attaches with one thumb screw.

- Disk does not skip when the unit is bumped

- All accessories included

- Cheap enough to be considered disposable if anything goes wrong

- Extra batteries are reasonably priced at $70

CON:

- Not all functions required the remote (like fast forward). This seems to be a common problem with all these little players. Seems very strange industry decision considering must people will only used these as portable units.

- Picture is not high resolution, although I see absolute not differences with any of the 7 inch players. Even the Sony has the same resolution. To get a significantly better picture you need to move up something like the Toshiba 8.9 inch SD-P2600k, which DOES have a great picture - at twice the price and larger footprint.

- Several times I have loaded a disk and sub-titles are already turned ON and you need the remote to turn this OFF.
