Customer Reviews

JVC A Winner with Remote Control Zoom
I absolutely LOVE this JVC GR-395. It is difficult to find a MiniDV camcorder with remote control, let alone a reasonably priced one. I have been able to shoot some outstanding video thanks to the remote zoom. I have owned at least 5 MiniDV cams and am soooo pleased with this camera. A couple weeks later I purchased a refurbished Sharp MiniDV with a remote and the thing stopped working after just a couple days. I am not a professional, but I strongly recommend this unit for anyone wanting a dependable unit with super features for a great price. Don't even hesitate. Just order this thing TODAY. You'll be thrilled with this camera!

Great for my purposes
With the wide angle lens, this works very well for my business purpose. Great low light capability. Takes nice moon pictures with a filter.

Great Camcorder but with low photo resolution
It's a great Camcorder despite still uses MiniDV tapes. However, the attached Digital Camera has a low resolution (640 x 480) and it's the weak point of this equipment. The Zoom is great but requires a support for zoom.
