easy to use, sharp picture, bright colours with no noticeable grain in good light, good zoom, small and lightweight, DV in/out, S-VHS out, clear LCD, colour viewfinder, nice selection of manual options, clean audio for a built-in mic, 16X optical zoom.
Bad Points
like most camcorders is poor in low light (less than 100 watts) but there is visible colour, difficulty autofocussing if powered on at extreme tele, "auto" setting tends toward cool colours, no mic input, no analog-to-digital passthrough.
General Comments
I bought this JVC GR-D33 digital camcorder as I wanted a much smaller camera than my Canon Hi-8, with better colour images. This camera is about the size of my Hi-8 charger! In normal lighting, the picture is much better than Hi-8, with cleaner, more brilliant colours. The EIS works quite well to 16X (the maximum optical zoom, equiv to about 807mm in 35mm terms); quite often it looks as though I'm using a tripod. (I hated my tele shots on Hi-8 as they invariably were shaky as I refuse to carry a tripod around.) NightScope is only good when the camera and subject are not moving. In that instance, the picture is actually brighter than the actual scene in some cases, and still shows some colour with minimum grain. My satisfaction grows with each scene I tape. Highly Recommended, if you can live with it's few low points.
