    Good Points: Sd card, easy to operate, well built, good connectivity!


    Bad Points: In my opinion low quality for shots and films (low contrast and a lot of noise).


    General comments: When I will buy the next camcorder it will be a Sony, I understood that they are better.

    The JVC GR-D290 looks compact and small but feels solid weighing about 510g with the battery.

    It features a 25x optical zoom. This camcorder has a USB port for transferring digital stills to your PC, Firewire (DV) for transferring movies to your PC, A/V ports for playing back or recording from a VCR.
    I found it incredibly useful for transferring my old VHS tapes to PC. Another nice feature is the mic input where you can connect a stereo mic (powered).
    Like most camcorders on the mar ...

    This lightweight compact JVC GR-D290 camera is excellent. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to work out how to use it. You can take still digital pictures as well as video. The monitor quality is excellent and the easy controls allow for decent recordings. You will need to invest in a stronger battery though as the 1 hr supplied is used up in no time. altogether though a good little camera at under £300.
