Guide Review - JVC GR-DV3000U Digital Camcorder

I’m excited about this camcorder. Though it’s larger than its peers, its features make up for it. The super fast f1.2 aspherical lens requires a larger camcorder body. Because the lens is so fast, the images are brighter, livelier and more realistic.

This camcorder is well-balanced, and the large LCD screen and color viewfinder make capturing images a lot easier.

The NightAlive feature allows for shooting in very low light. Images with this feature are in full color, unlike the NightShot infrared systems that cast a greenish hue to desaturated images.

This digital still camera offers images suitable for printing as well as internet sharing, making this the only camera you will need on a vacation.
