Quick Review Camcorders : JVC GR-DX97
At exactly one pound, the JVC GR-DX97 sells for a suggested $699.95 or a not-so-suggested street price of about $400. This camcorder comes with the basics: a 1/6-inch 680K CCD, a 12x optical zoom and a 700x digital zoom. What makes the JVC GR-DX97 unique is its 3-inch LCD monitor that flips up instead of out, like most traditional camcorders. Top

So far I haven't been disappointed. Indoor performance is fine. Still not perfect, but more than adequate. Controls are a bit small and the menus will take some getting used to. Skimpy package includes a low-capacity battery...
