The video looks good when there is enough light. The built-in mic is terrible. The still camera pics are of low quality. The camera itself is unreliable. The tape eject mechanism tends to jam frequently resulting in very costly repairs. It often 'freeze

This camcorder was very disappointing. In the three years that I've owned it, it's gone for repairs 3 times (the last one costing over $200!!). It's failed again but I won't send this back for service. It's time for a better quality product. Definite

This camera is very good if it didn't have reliability problems. The battery doesn't connect properly and there is an error message which tells you to reconnect. There are many other reviews that list this problem so I don't think it's an isolated case.

QuickTake:

Pros: Good picture quality, many usefull features, good size
Cons: Unreliable, battery life, noise, low light shooting

We have a GR-DVM50U (same thing, just the previous model)and it's a piece of junk. We've had it in the shop three times already (had it three years), each time between $200 and $500. Now it's about to go in again. We could have bought a new one by now!

QuickTake:

Pros: Compact size, good video quality, you can take it anywhere.
Cons: Piece of junk. Always breaking. Poor still image quality.

Since I purchased this camera, i have yet to complete a single tape. I had the camera repaired(ha ha) and it worked for about 10 minutes. As you can see many others have had this problem, and if JVC will not respond then maybe a class action suit is in

QuickTake:

Pros: Cant find any since this camera does not work(E04 safemode)
Cons: Freezes up and will not record.
