Author's Review

I was planning on using the camera for hard mounting it to a motorbike and taking video that way. The Hard drive is too sensitive to vibration in this application, so I have to use the sd cards. Unfortunately, 2gig is as big as they come in SD format; this cam is not compatible with SDHC cards (up to 8gig at this time). SD 2gigs are around 40$, SDHC 8gig are about 100$.

In normal use however I love this cam. It's easy, no tapes or discs to mess with, just a usb link to your computer. The 30gig HDD gives you lots of recording time (7hours on max resolution).

The sound quality is very good.

Conversion of the video files is a bit time consuming if you have a slow computer though. Vids are stored in .mov format, and are converted to AVI, MPEG1 or MPEG2 using JVC's software. Their video producing software is decent.
