Comments about JVC GZ-HD300A 60GB Hard Disk Digital Camcorder - Black:

For the price you cannot find a better camcorder. The picture is great. The results in low light conditions are okay, but what do you expect? I have used it for home videos and found the camera very simple to operate. I mastered all the features within two uses, although the instructions leave something to be desired. I cannot wait to use this more often and start editing.The only downside is the included software. There is very little in the way of editing choices and the format is confusing. I am switching to a Mac at home soon. I have used the camera at work with a Mac and everything was seamless. I researched every online store and found the best deal at Abe's of Maine. [...]

The camera has many great features. It is a bit difficult to transfer to computer and upload. The prompt to download ITunes is not necessary. The online and paper instructions are not adequate nor user friendly

Comments about JVC GZ-HD300A 60GB Hard Disk Digital Camcorder - Black:

[...]Very small & light, easy to carry around. Videos looks amazing outdoors, just what I was expecting from an HD camcorder. However, indoor video quality was poor, very grainy in low light situations. Camera feature on this camcorder is not good, still picture wasn't clear. Waste of time putting that feature onto this camcorder.

Comments about JVC GZ-HD300A 60GB Hard Disk Digital Camcorder - Black:

Easy transfer and upload of videos to computer or HD TV. Editing is not recommened unless you purchase editing software. Indoor video recording is substandard. Outdoor recording in UXP mode results in fantastic playback viewing results! Great for casual outdoor use for home or travel.

Comments about JVC GZ-HD300A 60GB Hard Disk Digital Camcorder - Black:

Very grainy indoor video recording at low light even though camcorder is set to record at highest resolution. Video quality is excellent when recording outdoor with decent lighting. This camcorder is excellent for only outdoor use only. Laser touch is not the most intuitive and user friendly. However, it just takes some time to get use to. Other then that, this camcorder is not bad.
