3 out of 5 stars Good Camcorder, but Noisy Motor!.......2006-02-22

It wasn't so bad if you were recording in LP but in SP it was terrible and it was even bad filming outside. Apart from that it was very good filming in low light and excellent in day light and plus it took really good stills, upto 1600x1200.
If the filming wasn't so noisy i would have kept it and gave it 5 stars but sadly because of that i give it 3.

1 out of 5 stars Noisy motor.......2006-02-06

I have just bought this camera from Amazon having read the reviews on the site, which seem to give the impression that its known motor problem might now be a thing of the past. If my model is anything to go by it isn't. When videoing a quiet room, the noise level from the motor is astonishing and it all transfers to the tape. I was taping over a recording from a Sony camera and when the JVC recording finished and the Sony part resumed, the difference was incredible. I'm surprised that it is still possible to buy cameras with this problem when it has been known about for over a year.
It's quite a shame as the spec is exactly what I wanted, but I wouldn't be able to live with such intrusive camera noise.

4 out of 5 stars Great value for money camcorder.......2005-03-23

i currently have a JVC grd33 which is excellent and very easy to use. i have been watching the grd93 for some time and have now taken the plunge and purchased thru Amazon. i have been looking on e bay and i ahve to say prices are high for the same item. What angers me is the number of people selling these camcorders but in NTSC formats. United states. Not compatible with our system. I happened to be browsing Amazon and came across this camcorder at what i consider to be a very good price. Buying new and from a reputable source has given me the peace of mind that we all need when choosing expensive complex items. i know the camera will be a cracker and i can't wait to use it.thanks Amazon

I've just spent several days looking for a camcorder.
My requirements where: -

1. Under £300 as it's for holdiays, family occasions, etc
2. Must take good quality stills as I don't want carry 2 cameras
3. Good connectivity DV IN/OUT (I have some old video's that I need converting)
4. Ideally a light for the still's and filming in the pub etc

Having looked on just about every web site that featured / sold camcorders this is the one I have chosen, as it is the only one that meets all the above requirements.
The camcorder is now on order with Amazon (most other retailers have this for sale at £300+), and I will report again once I have had time to test it.

The reason I have written the review now, is that I feel my requirements may be quite common, and thought it may help others who are looking at for a camcorder at this time

4 out of 5 stars Previous review.......2005-01-29

Having been very disapointed with the noise generated with the motor, and recorded on tape,(see previous review)of the first machine, I sent the camcorder back to Amazon hoping that it was a fault with the machine, and not normal. Amazon have sent me a replacement, refunded the postage, and the replacement machine is great. So I must now admit that the camcorder lives up to all expectations. (Shame JVC Quality control doesnt work!!) Congrats Amazon on excellent srvice

    It does what is states on the review.

    Very practical MP3 holder, works well in a gym environment.

    Also washes well and appearence does not degrade.

    5 out of 5 stars Used it for 3 months, very useful.......2006-01-26

    This has proved to be a perfect buy for me. I jog and use the gym regularly and this has done just the job for me being able to listen to my mp3 player while I exercise. It's suprisingly comfortable, very flexible in what size of MP3 player you can fit in (I cant imagine one being too small or too large for it as it stretches wide from a very small initial size). Most importantly it has never fallen off and I have jogged for 1.5 hours with it strapped to my arm.

    5 out of 5 stars good gear.......2005-06-18

    This is the perfect piece of kit particularly for running,walking,climbing etc.Fits well and holds the precious contents securely. Whilst not water proof it would serve well in your average shower etc.It has taken me ages to find an armband that would do the job ie - wasn't to big, too tight, too flimsy etc the 'tat' included with the players themselves are not up to much, impossible to source on their own if you need a replacement and korea seems an awful lomg way to go for an armband!!
    I am delighted, it is robust and well made and fits my iriver ifp 999 very well (would be pretty good for the H10/ipod mini/et al too I would guess).
    Great service and prompt delivery by amazon/digitalmusic players.

    5 out of 5 stars Tunes on the go.......2005-02-22

    I bought this product as a housing for my new Baby Ipod when training.

    It is a fantastic product.

    The Ipod fits perfectly inside. The Elastic is tight enough to ensure you can be confident it won't fall out during heavy exertion, but lax enough to be able to slip the Ipod easily in our out.
    It fits comfortably and tightly round you arm (regardless of your arm size - it fits both me and my girlfriend), so whether you decide to go running or weight training, you can listen to your chosen tunes with firm peace of mind that you IPod won't be left on the floor or by the machine or sat on or trodden on.
    (Something I often used to do with my MiniDisc players... I use plural because I ended up breaking one as a result!!!)

    The product can also be washed when you feel that it has become too sweat soaked.

    Some people may consider this an expensive carry case, but if you are using your IPod for anything more exertive than walking this is a Must Have accessory.
