JVC GRDVL720U MiniDV Digital Camcorder with 3.5" LCD and 8MB SD Memory Card

Product Description

The GR-DVL720 combines outstanding performance with a sleek, compact design. The GR-DVL720 ensures maximum user-friendliness utilizing Night Alive (for full-color shooting in extreme low light conditions), built-in auto light, high-resolution 3.5" Amorphous Silicon LCD color monitor, 700X super digital zoom with spline interpolation, HG digital stills (1024 x 768), picture stabilizer and long-time recording capability. The versatile multimedia interfacing includes SD/ MultiMedia card-compatible, USB high-speed interface, DV input/output, S-video and A/V output terminals.

Amazon.com Product Description

The GR-DVL720U provides plenty of features for the video hobbyist, including a 10x optical zoom, digital image stabilization, and IEEE 1394 compatible outputs. Plus, you get a digital still mode that records 1,024 x 768 images onto an included 8 MB MultiMediaCard.

Lens
Breaking the mold that most other digital camcorders fall in, the GR-DVL720U has a very bright f1.8 lens, which should help with a dilemma common to many digital camcorders: poor low-light performance. While not useful at the highest levels, the optical zoom is augmented by a 700x digital zoom, which can supply that little bit extra you might need in some circumstances. Paired with the zoom is a digital image stabilizer, which will help eliminate much of the shakiness associated with high zoom levels.

Shooting Functions
The GR-DVL720U provides some camera functions, which can be quite useful if you spend the time to learn to use them. The camera gives you manual control over focus, exposure, and white balance, all of which affect the way your image is recorded. The manual focus and white-balance modes are perhaps the most exciting, as you can use them to create depth-of-field effects, and the white balance will allow you to light a room without investing in expensive lighting gear. In addition, JVC added in a number of digital wipes and fades, as well as a black fader.

Output Options
If you want to play your footage on television, the 720U provides two connection methods: S-video and standard RCA-style AV connectors. S-video provides the better video resolution, but you'll still need to use the AV cable for audio, as S-video doesn't carry an audio signal. If your object is to edit your movies on a computer, the camera also comes equipped with an IEEE 1394 compliant port for shuttling video back and forth. It's a four-pin connector, and most computers with IEEE 1394 ports have six-pin connectors, so make sure you pick up the correct cable (JVC doesn't provide one).

Digital Still Mode
Like many digital camcorders, the GR-DVL720U provides a digital still mode, and stores the resulting images onto an included 8 MB MultiMediaCard. You can also use SD cards. The images aren't very high resolution and are generally good only for posting on the Web, or e-mailing to friends. To get the photos to your computer, the 720U utilizes a built-in USB port, and comes with the cable and software to accomplish the transfer.

Finicky LCD.......2004-05-26

I bought this camera in 2002, about 2 months after my son was born. Within the 2 years we have had the camera it has been in the shop 3 times, the 3rd time just last week. The problem is when we fold out the LCD to take some video there is no picture, if you flip the LCD monitor over to the front the picture will work fine, but flip it back to normal and there is no picture. It takes great video when it's working and now that I have XP it works great uploading video to the computer. Unfortunately it has been in the shop about half the time we have owned it. I'm waiting for it to come back and stop working again so I can trade it in under Best Buy's warranty.

Great Camcorder, bad night vision.......2003-09-16

I've had this camcorder for a two years now. Gotta say that it works very well. It has good focus even when you're at max zoom, but when you're zoomed in that much, you need to put the camcorder on a tripod, otherwise the recording will be very shaky.

The one feature that I don't like about the camcorder is the Night Alive technology for shooting during nightime. You get a golden/yellow picture and things get really blurry as the target moves. It's really annoying and I NEVER use it. So if you're looking for a camcorder that will give you great night time recording, don't get this one. Get something with an infrared emitter, it will let you shoot good video even with NO light present.

Great Camcorder!.......2003-08-03

JVC products have always been a favorite of mine and have always proven to have outstanding products. the JVC GRDVL720U is no exception. This Camera is inexpensive, and has all the bells and whistles you could ask for from a lower-end camcorder. You can transfer Digital Video to your PC by Firewire, and easily transfer Digital Stills through USB. Great quality and design. The unit fits in your hand with all buttons readily available.

What a deal!!.......2003-01-18

I got this Camcorder on a Goldbox deal and after all was said and done it was hundreds less than any other store! The camcorder is great I had to purchase a firewire adapter for my computer but it was worth the additional investment. I upgraded to Windows XP Plus! digital edition and found video editing was simple and the camcorder was completely compatible. The battery that it comes with does not last very long (about an hour without the light on). I invested ...and purchased a longer life battery. The still photo function was easy to use but the quality was less that 1 megapixel. Overall a great camcorder!!!

Best yet!.......2002-12-26

Having used other JVC cameras, this is the best yet. Color view finder is not necessary as using the 3.5 Led is great. Especially for those with challeged eyes/

More features than most amature users will ever need. Easily to use features makes even the teenagers happy.

Best on the market bar none.......2005-09-24

I have a belkin router here at my home and needed another router for a family member and with out a doubt in my mind i chose Belkin. I use several Belkin products from Floppy drives to cat 5e cable up to my router and wouldnt think of using anything else.
Plus you can beat the warranty!!!!!

Good Router But Vulnerable.......2005-07-14

This is not a bad router for the price. It's packed with features, such as a virtual server, and restrictive web access settings. The user manual, while better than nothing, is rather sketchy in places. One problem with the router that appears to be a design flaw is that it does not stop "ping of death" attacks on the Internet, which have become much more prevalent of late. My recommendation is to purchase a more recent router with better firewall control options (This router has only "on" or "off"). That way you can be sure you will be fully protected.

Simple and easy to use.......2005-06-21

It was just plug and play for me on this router. I own two of them. Neither one has cause me any trouble. I am using Windows XP and have 4 computers networked together. This router worked like a charm right out of the box. I've read other reviews and the complaints. All I can say is I haven't had these issues myself.

Maybe it's the luck of the draw. I wasnt looking for anything fancy, and this router is exactly that. There are better routers available. As far as an inexpensive one that does the job this has worked fine for me.

Your Friends Will Envy You.......2004-09-14

I am the proud owner of three "F5D5230-4" routers, and I have one at home, one in my car, and one at the office. Setup was so easy, that I had everything running in five minutes. I docked it one star because the manual is incomprehensible to English-speaking people. Whenever people ask me what that fantastic looking little box is with all those wires, I just lean back in my chair and proudly say "this is the mother of all routers, it's the F5D5230-4".

Belkin's customer service leaves much to be desired........2003-12-28

My Belkin 4 Cable/DSL 4 Port Router never was a trouble-free device. It needed frequent resets and then seemed to cause one of our computers to start only in safe mode. Further investigation of the system revealed an over-heating power adapter. Unplugging the adapter fixed the non-starting computer and all three worked just fine when individually plugged into the cable modem. On December 6th, I wrote an email to Belkin because I wasn't able to find an identical adapter locally. Belkin replied they would email me again once my RMA was approved, but told me not to respond to their notice. After waiting what seemed to be an unreasonable time for the RMA, or further communication from Belkin, I wrote again, because only one computer was on line via the Cable modem. By December 26th, I had written three or four times with no response from Belkin.
When a relative came to visit with yet another computer, I relented and bought a Linksys router. The Belkin router remains inoperable when all that it needed was an adapter replacement or some other indication Belkin was aware of the problem with their product.

A pain to find....but worth it.......2007-01-12

I needed an earbud/microphone to plug into a Cobra Handheld CB radio. It was hard to find a source of this particular unit but I'm so glad that I kept trying. This saved the day!
I wanted to listed to a CB while on a long road trip. However, there can be colorful language on the CB from time to time and I didn't want to expose the wife and kids to it. I didn't want a headset with a boom microphone either. But I did want to listen for hours on end and be able to talk on the radio when I wanted. This did it all.
The earbud stayed in my ear and was not really noticable. The cord clipped to my shirt so there was really no weight on the earbud. There was a bulge in the cord where the Press-To-Talk microphone was. I'd pick it up, hold it about 8" from my mouth, press the button, and talk. The Radio Checks I did said they could hear me just fine. So, this was a great setup for my intended use.

Not good enough.......2003-09-18

This would have been a great ear piece if only it fit into the walkie talkie. The prongs were spaced to far apart to be compatible. But the length was good.

Wow!.......2000-06-14

This earbuds are the best I have ever used. Great sound quality. I would definately recommend them.

Not a bad deal for the price........2006-07-05

It's a great deal. Walking around with it on takes some getting used to, but I can't complain. It's wild seeing deer walking around and eating the plums off the trees. I've taken back the night PEOPLE!;) Have fun all!

I'd like to see what the difference between Gen I and Gen II and III. But the price will keep me from being that curious.

Over hyped.......2006-03-01

The Bushnell night vision goggles, is a great pair of goggles for the price it is. Although its only Gen1 goggles it still is very useful. When I brought these from a retailer and proceeded to use them at night I found out that my goggles were actually second hand, but that is besides the point. The Bushnell goggles when used with combination headgear, can feel very bulky and uncomfortable in the prone upright position, but as soon as you push the button to unlock the twisting mechisism the googles feel quite lite and compfortable.

The night vision itself is ok at best. With moonlight only the night vision can be described as a fuzzy black and white blobs, very faint to the naked eye, but combined with the bulit in IR the imaculate glow of the green, is just amazing. With its limited range and ok night vision the bushnell goggles is not too bad, alothough the bulit in Bright light circuit can be a bit at times over sensitive. Over all the bushnell goggles is an ok buy if your looking for cheap affordable goggles, but in the near future my review my change due to the fact that my goggles were actually quite defective.

It would only work for a certain amount of time and then the image on display would disapper and not reappear until I have waited at least 5 mins, now I cannot speak for bushnell saying that it was the bright light circuit in effect. But that wasnt the case due to the fact that I was in compelete darkness, with IR mode on. I have searched everywhere for information about bushnell goggles having a bulit in power saving feature but that would be just silly. So I dont know what it is, I am going to replace my bushnell goggles with a new one, and see if those are better, until then this review is all I have to offer you until I get somemore NVG time, wirh my new pair.

Thanks for reading and hope I have helped.
