Summary: what a great camcorder and value!

Comment: JVC GR-AX841 VHS-C Camcorder We use this unit to supply warehouse security systems to the industrial market. No wonder it is out of stock at Amazon (May2000). The camcorder arrived and was setup in about 10 minutes. It has performed without a 'hitch' for several months. The AV output is routed to an Intel PC Camera ProPack webcam. Intel provides with this product a low cost.... time lapse and motion detection software CD utility. Both the JVC and Intel parts work well together. I suggest buyers focus on Windows98 and 64MB RAM on their PC to avoid USB lockups on their PC. We are well pleased and the systems work daily with only a regular environmmental housing we made to protect them from dust and cold. JVC makes a fine product which we will buy again due to its value and reliability. Thank-you!

Summary: The best camcorder I've ever used!

Comment: When I decided to buy a camcorder I spent a good month researching and shopping around. This product caught my eye in a display window in a popular department store here in Australia, and was reasonably cheap, so I assumed that it wasn't a great product. Even so I checked it out, and discovered that it had everything that even some of the most expensive camcorders have, including digital zoom and numerous special effects. It was light weight and easy to use, and I don't regret buying it for a minute. Once out of the box, I had a quick look through the manual and had the camcorder figured out in a matter of minutes. The picture quality is brilliant, and I would have to say that this JVC product was the best investment I have made in a long time. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy an easy to use, no fuss camcorder, and being JVC you know it's a brand you can trust.

Summary: great

Comment: this is the easiest camcorder I've every used. I'm a real clutz when it comes to electronics, but even I can use this one with ease. It's great!

Summary: Great Camcorder

Comment: This is my first one (treat me gently!). I took it out of the box and was using it in 5 minutes. I bought mine on Home Shopping, so I say it fully demonstrated.Also, unlike most VHS and VHS-C camcorders, it has digital processing. You usually only get this feature in high-end 8MM camcorders.

Summary: this is the easiest & most enjoyable movie camera to use.

Comment: It's a great movie camera. my son who is 7 uses it to make his godzilla movies. i use it for all kinds of events. it is quite quick and easy. the review above says two things that i agree with most. the fact that the controls are on the back (with battery on the side) and the lens cap is built in.

the backgrounds were easy to apply and there were several to choose from.

the on off switch was a bit awkward.
