Customer Reviews

Great entry level camera
I bought this camera at Fry's and it was a deal that came with a tripod.The camera is great this is my first camcorder it was easy to operate and easy to learn the controls.i hook it up to my macbook pro an start up idvd and it transfer almost with out touching anything.It is easy to control and the zoom is very good .If you move fast the camera takes 10 secs to refocus the only drawback so far.I wish there was a car charger for it but i have yet to find one if it exist

Best I've found for the price
I recently purchased the GR-D770 MiniDV Camcorder to replace an eight year old JVC VHS-C camcorder. I did a bit of research online, and the JVC had to most features for the cost. The audio is excellent, as is the picture quality. The zoom is smooth, and all the controls are conveniently located; the menus are easy to navigate with the thumb stick. Also, synching is up to my laptop was a snap, after I bought a 4-pin to 4-pin DV cable (I didn't see any in the price range that included one).

It's a good entry level camera
But the key phrase here is "entry level". It's true that it has numerous features and a great zoom on it. But the picture is a little bit lacking in my opinion. The colors seem a bit pale at times, and in low light situations like in a room there is picture noise (grain). But that's to be expected for most entry level cameras. This is my first digital camcorder and I wanted something inexpensive to capture memories of my two year old and vacations. And really it does that just fine. But if you really want something that that reproduces color well and keeps the amount of picture noise down, then you should look to get something that costs a few hundred more.
