Customer Rating:

Summary: Not the best camcorder

Comment: We bought one of these a few weeks ago and were quite disappointed. The battery only lasted about 7-8 minutes, and YES, I refreshed and fully charged it and did everything I was supposed to. I don't know if it was a bad battery or if someone had used up it's life and returned it, but I have yet to get a response from the company about it. The picture quality was very grainy as well. It is a cheap camcorder, but in my opinion you don't get even get $200 worth out of this one. I took it back and bought a Sony TRV 280 for a little more and it is AWESOME! Long battery life and great picture quality. Well worth the extra $50!

Editorial reviews:

The GR-AXM17 features a compact stylish design. The 20x's optical zoom, 2.5" LCD make this VHS-C camcorder a terrific value. A flying erase head for glitch free start and stops, Digital CNR and TBC for better picture quality, insure you get the best performance. Add the convenience of a 2.5" LCD view screen and the camera can be operated from any angle, for maximum comfort. The picture stabilizer gets rid of annoying picture shake. The 800X digital zoom makes sure you don't miss any of the action. When you are done recording, the tapes play back & and can be shared in any VHS video recorder.
