Great miniDV with excellent video performance

Strengths: Great looking video; very compact and pretty light, many good features

Weakness: Focus Lag, poor battery life time

The video quality is excellent, with great color accuracy and plenty of detail.The sharpness and brightness are not as strong as some other DVs, such as Panasonic PV-GS500, but it looks very comfortable.

JVC GR-X5 Camcorder Review

Old adages hold true for a reason. Take, for example, the axiom of “don’t judge a book by its cover.” We’ve come to expect that camcorders making a sharp turn away from convention tend to be all show and no substance. This could not have been less true for JVC’s GR-X5U. Test after test proved it to hold up to the stiffest competition, with an exceptional showing in video performance,...
