Summary: JVC Camcorder Model GR-SXM250U ~Lens Cap Error~

Comment: I bought this camera almost 2 years ago, and it has been great. This camera has a lot of cool features. However, I was very disappointed when I went to use it over the holidays, and it said "lens cap" on the screen. I thought I was crazy because the lens cap was removed and I still got message on the lcd screen. Long story short, I can only watch tapes and no longer record. I have notified JVC and I am still waiting for a response on how to correct the problem. I really like the camera and I hope it can be repaired. If any body has experienced this problem~ please let me know what you did to correct it and if it was very expensive.

Summary: good for the $$$

Comment: This camera does a GREAT JOB for the price. It has all kinds of great features and effects. The only negative I can think of is that it makes a slight noise when zooming in and out.

Summary: Excellent choice for first time video camera buyers.

Comment: This is the first video camera I've purchased, and I'm completely satisfied with it after several months of use. I've found it to be affordable (important initial consideration), lightweight(important if you're brave enough to let the kids record), simple to use(important if you let grandma borrow it to record the other grandkids), and the recordings to be top-notched. These basic features and an excellent brand-name should make any new purchaser feel confident with this camera as his/her initial choice. One caution, the camera's package includes everything you need but a blank VHS-C tape (something experience camera users are aware of, but novices are not, hence the 4 stars, not the 5).

Summary: Excellent for the price BUT...

Comment: We love this new camera because it is the same features we had in our old camera.. We wanted a new one that had the flip out screen and for the price it cant be beat... BUT we cant believe they took away the personal title generator where you could type your own title in instead of using the 7 or 8 presets they have... It was a must ~ now we will have to learn to do without.. Still a great buy for those not willing or ready to go to digital and still wanting the top features...

Summary: JVC GRSXM250 S-VHS-C Camcorder with 2.5" LCD, Auto-Light

Comment: I Think it's an upgrade from GRSXM240 S-VHS-C Camcoder.
one special feature is you can use batttery or adapter power
even when the battery pack is loaded.It also has a locking
on/off switch,with a nice red button to press for recording.
