JVC Cybercam GR-D93 Mini DV Camcorder

Pros: VALUE!!! Low light performance, size, ease of use

Pros: Good size and video guality.

Pros: Easy controls, good zoom, snapshot feature
Cons: Lower megapixel, setting date to appear more complex than necessary

Bought this to replace an old 8mm. Would up getting it refurbished from e cost and it's been a great little camera. 1.33 megapixel camera acceptable by todays standards, but not ultra-crisp. controls easy to use and decent image quality. very lightweight .

Pros: Easy to use, lots of features, easy software (you better have a fast computer).
Cons: you might want to get a 2 or 3hr batt too.

Camera works great, everything I expected. It would have been nice to have a hot shoe, mic. input, headphone jack and better low light shooting. I knew that the camera didn't have those things when I got it so I'm still very very happy.
