Lost footage..worst technical equipment I've ever owned.......2007-04-07

My title says it all. I've lost footage several times, corrupt discs all the time. The worst part is, it makes you think you're recording, and then you go to play it back, and it's not there. This is a certified piece of junk. Mine may just be a lemon based on other reviewers, but why take the risk when it comes to recording fun memories?

i love it.......2007-03-25

there are two things i do not like. #1 it does not shoot in the dark very well. But i have read there are settings i can adjust. # 2 it wasnt free.

Everything else is great

Camera 5 stars software 2.5 stars.......2006-10-25

This is my 4th camcorder, and it is also the best one I have had so fare. It's the easiest to use hands down, the smallest, takes great video, I think just as good as my DV tapes camcorder but easier to copy.

All in all this camcorder does what I have all ways wanted a camcorder to do and to be.

It's true the software is not that great but it will get you though. If you want to do editing you will want some other software. I use Magix Video Pro with great results. Just put the dvd into your computers dvd player/writer (once the dvd is finalized) and drag and drop to Magix and it does the rest, and you can edit as you desire. Much better then running though hours of DV tape with a fire wire. warning, not all editing programs will work with mpeg format so check first.

A 30 minute tape took about 10 minutes to copy over to the hard drive and for Magix to read, plus mpeg, dvd, is a much more manageable format then AVI, dv tape, with is huge and a computer resource hog. Editing isn't quite as clean with mpeg but AVI has many more problem then mpeg such as size.

Or if you just want to make a copy of the dvd then use a dvd copy program like 1 Click DVD Copy and you'll have an exact copy in just a few minutes. Use rewritable dvd in the camcorder and you have a winning combo. Again much better and easier then paying back DV tape with a fire wire or burning to a set top dvd recorder. Two thing I never have to do again.

Now for a global perspective, I have always loved movies and home movies. I was fascinated with the idea of movie making on my computer but my hopes where dashed with DV tape and AVI files. Plain and simple I just gave up, it was to much trouble, but my interest and enjoyment have been reclaimed with this dvd camcorder.

Ok, ok now the bad news, things I don't care for to be balanced, tape length could be longer 20, 30 and 60 minute setting is all you get with a dvd. Yes longer record means lower quality. I've been using 30 minute setting with great footage quality. And all in all 30 minutes really isn't that bad. 1 or 2 hours can get to be to much on a tape or dvd of our kids playing in the yard.

Second the batters take 2.5 or more hours to charge. That's a long time. But they do last a while. You'll fill up a disk with a full charge no problem. My advice, You will wont at least 2 batteries.

Third, 10 zoom seems a bit small but it is workable and not a deal killer in my opinion. What I would really like to see is a nice wide angle for in doors. I'm using a wide angle attachment, 0.5X, with a 27mm adapter ring. Makes a big difference but is like adding a half sized Dixie cup to the front of the camera. It's not pretty but it works.

So yes, narrow wide angle but not any worst then my Sony TR65 from 1990 which come with an on board wide angle diopter that made the same difference as the wide angle lens attachment or my Canon ZR60 from 2003 which was what I original bought the attachment for.

That's about it. All in all a great easy to use camera that is the camcorder I've been waiting for except the wide angle.

This camcorder doesn't work for Apple Mac's.......2006-07-29

I bought this for my sister as a wedding present. The camera has a lot of good features. But when they used a set of DVDs on it, they found that only 1/2 of the discs they used would record correctly. not sure if the problem is with the disks or formatting.

More importantly, this camcorder does not allow for the video to be transferred to Apple Mac's. It only allows images taken with the camera to be transferred. This is a big disappointment and we will have to sell this camera on Ebay now or something.

Usually i'm a big fan of Canon camcorders and camera's. I'm on my 2nd Canon camcorder now and just bought a digital camera. But Canon should have made this camera with support for Mac's. its ridiculous.

NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS.......2006-07-16

I bought this camcorder in December 2005. I asked the salesperson at PC Richards for the best camcorder and this is what he gave me. It's like a small malfunctioning computer. I sent it back to the factory to be fixed and they sent it back to me with only half the functions working. I overpaid for it $629 and now can't get rid of it for 1/2 the price. Although the picture quality is good, it is a pain to operate. The little discs only record 30 minutes and to erase something is a major ordeal. For all you looking go with digital tape! It is much better.

Great, easy to use camera!!!!!!!!.......2002-07-23

I purchased this camera for my mother a year ago. I think I have used it more than her! I have finally decided to purchase one for myself. It is so easy to use. The lenses change easily. The auto focus makes it almost impossible to take a "bad" picture.

Best camera I ever purchased!!.......2002-04-13

I bought this camera to take to Gettysburg and New Orleans on vacation, and I love it. I need a camera that is easy to use for I am camera illiterate. Takes great/clear photos, easy to use, and is high quality thru and thru. Would recommend this camera to others.

Awesome and ez to use.......2002-04-03

This camera is a great buy!

Makes you want to take pictures!.......2002-01-31

I have had this camera set now since May, 2001. I have found it very easy to use, and the pictures look great. The ability to quickly switch from fully automatic to manual focus is good and the automatic settings in the camera are great when you don't have time to mess around with manual settings. If I were buying a set now, I would swing for the kit with the 300mm lens instead of the 210mm. I think the extra zoom is worth the comparitively small amount extra you pay.

Minolta.......2001-11-24

Having had several slr's in the past, I find this one great. Lightweight, compact, takes wonderful pics, and for you busy moms with kids the features are awesome. Many thanks to Minolta.

Awesome When it worked.......2001-02-18

I first bought this Burner about a year ago, I had many problems with the software bundel it came with when wanting to burn mp3's on to a cd-r. Finally, a few months after I purchased it I bought Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4.0, after buying this I loved my burner. But after about 6 months the power supply failed and it won't even turn on. I have tried to get it repaired they say there is nothing they can do so my 300 dollars went down the drain. This is a very good product if you want to replace it every 6 months. Now mine is just a paper weight.

Great CD-RW.......2001-01-23

Product Description

Given the popularity of our 127mm Mak, it's only natural that we offer it with the best new mid-size equatorial mount on the market, the SkyView Pro. It is a telescope for the enthusiast who appreciates the practicality of a compact scope, yet wants the best features and performance available. In a market flooded with "Maks for dummies," replete with plastic parts and with gadgetry that promises more than it delivers, it's nice to know you can still get a telescope that puts quality above all else for a terrific price. The "SVP" 127's 5" Maksutov-Cassegrain optics pull in plenty of light for views of deep-sky gems. And with its focal length of 1540mm, you can't beat it for high-magnification study of the lunar surface and planets. Not bad for a tube assembly that's just 14.5" long. The SVP EQ mount is as fluid in its motions as it is solid in its stance. A mount worthy of the avid observer.

CAUTION!.......2004-10-07

I purchased this drive from Lacie for $279. The manual I downloaded, the PDF, is not the same as this drive. It doesn't look anything like it either. It's no longer listed on Lacie's web site. I've attempted contacting them to ask if they had a PDF for this. I tried contacting their Technical Support, both by phone and email and have yet to reach them. When Amazon sent an email from me their response was "Thank you for you purchase."

I well aware that computers and external drives are constantly changing - I've been working with computers for over 20 years but this really takes the cake.

Make sure you know what you're buying before your purchase. Talk to someone first.

Product Description

For over 70 years, the history of JVC has been one of continual innovation - its invention of the VHS video format, which radically changed the way the world viewed and gathered information, is but one example of JVC's innovative technology. And as the world enters the digital era, chances are that you will be seeing the JVC name in association with new breakthroughs in digital imaging, information and networking. Because breakthroughs are nothing new at JVC - there're a tradition. But as important as advanced technology may seem, the key to success as being something else - the ability to envision how that technology well affect people's lives in the future. And for this JVC relies on the imagination and talent of the many individuals who work for JVC. Only people can understand people, and since technology for its own sake will not have the power to contribute to culture or to serve society, JVC considers people and their ideas as being its most in important asset. So as the world welcomes a new millennium, JVC will continue to move ahead, in order to interpret the needs of the present and anticipate the needs of the future, and "Produce Your Imagination" in original ways that only JVC can. JVC offers you this great new karaoke performer! It combines all the latest features plus international flexibility with multi-voltage and PAL/NTSC compatibility and Digital echo. Besides musical CDs it can also play CD Graphics and VideoCDs.

Amazon.com Product Description

JVC's XL-SV22BK is something like the ultimate karaoke player, offering compatibility with specialty formats and technologies that standard DVD players would readily eschew.

Video features
NTSC/PAL compatibility means you can sing along to discs from all over the world. The player offers VCD version 2.0 playback control, video intro scan, multipicture onscreen display, slow search (via remote), and bookmark with onscreen book digest.

JVC has done an interesting thing here in making this player compatible with CD graphics (CD+G), which some karaoke discs use and many standard CDs released in the late 1980s also used--only back then, there was no way to see them! (Chris Isaak's 1985 debut, Silvertone, is an example of a pop disc bearing CD+G content.)

Audio features
Karaoke-specific effects like vocal masking and vocal replace, digital echo (with level control), and three surround modes (Dance Club/Hall/Stadium) make you sound like the professional you wish you were.

Connections
The player includes two microphone jacks, so you and your friends can tackle all those great duets you used to have to go to a bar to sing.

Other features
The DVG-9000N is karaoke-ready with a front-panel .25-inch microphone input--just plug in and sing along with your favorite CDs or dedicated karaoke CDs and DVDs. The unit is compatible with DVD, VCD, SVCD, CD, and MP3-CD-R/CD-RW.

Other features include Cinema Shuttle, nine-step programming, one-track/all-track repeat, 10-key direct track access, and a remote control.

Our first party was a success and everyone had loads of fun, even though some of us sound like a bunch of fish drowning!! I think that any one who purchases this Karaoke player will not regret it - Have fun!

WOOEE what fun.......2002-02-16

This is a really nice machine and the selection of discs that came with it IN the package (in its own little holder) is a great assortment of all kinds of music. I had been looking for quite some time, and this was by far the best value I found. One thing some people may not understand however is that this is a component and you need to have an amp, or TV with AV inputs. The little machines with internal amps dont even compare with this one.

Best Karaoke I bought in years.......2001-12-29

I love the karaoke machine,But I was surprize I didn't get a cd with it. Other than that it's a great gift.

Thank you bonnie murray
