Product Description

Be creative, have some fun. The GR-D270 puts you in the director's chair. Its powerful 25x optical zoom lens gets tight close-ups of your subject and the 2.5 inch Clear LCD monitor, reduces glare and reflections so you'll always see your subject, even outdoors. The D270 has an SD/MMC card slot for recording high quality digital still images. Another advantage is JVC's Data Battery. With a press of a button view five levels of remaining battery and record time on the Clear LCD monitor. In addition, the trim high capacity 700 mAh Lithium-ion rechargeable battery delivers up to 1.5 hours recording. Live Slow captures the critical moment in slow motion, when recording or even when playing back.

Wouldn't buy JVC again.......2006-03-24

This camera is an OK camera as far as features go. But like the other reviewer stated, there is no external mic input which is a big down side. The auto stablizer sucks so I was forced to buy a tripod for any kind of shooting I do.
JVC customer service is horrible! My camera broke after only 3 hours of using it. Seems that there is some sort of tracking issue during playback. I asked if they could fax over a copy of the proof of warranty for repair being that it's only 8 months old and I was told they couldn't do that because "It's on another system"??? WTF does that mean???
Don't buy this camcorder or any JVC camcorder.
I'm only giving it 2 stars because its a decent price but youre better off with a canon or sony.

PROS: Color viewfinder, good resolution, light-weight, easy to handle (at least for small-handed people like myself), nice look, automatic white balance on auto setting, excellent zoom, great selection of accessories, manual is easy to understand, more pros than cons.

CONS: No headphone or mic jacks, slightly annoying motor noise, battery level measured by 10's only (i.e. 40 m, 50 m, etc.).

In short, an excellent starter camera, but may not be fantastic for more experienced filmmakers.

Be sure to take extra batteries and tapes (I recommend TDK for the tapes), as well as a cleaning cassette, with you when you go to shoot.
