JVC GR-D250 Reviews

Good Camcorder
by R. Kovarik from Maricopa AZ, USA, 2009-01-30

I didn't have the money to get a hard drive one, I got this one refurbished and it has worked well for 2 years now, and is still going strong.

Never Recieved - Got Refund
by janthelibrarian from Quad Cities, IL, 2008-01-19

After waiting several weeks for this item I checked the UPS tracking system and learned that the product was damaged in a train derailment. I emailed back to Amazon and was told they would look into it. A couple of weeks after that I finally got a refund (after I'd had to pay interest on my credit card, of course.) And to top it off, Amazon keeps asking me to review the product, which is kind of pissing me off, really. I'm happy that the issue was resolved, but upset that I had to be the one to initiate the communication to get it resolved. Having said that, I would still shop from Amazon in the future.

Lens Cap on Error
by C. Travers , 2007-10-11

Camera was great until the "Lens cap" error message came on in the middle of recording my son's first band concert. Have emailed JVC about so called free repair which isn't free because you still have to pay for shipping back and forth to repair center. Stay away for JVC.

Famous "Lens Cap" Error
by Jessie Hagan from Kentucky, 2007-05-15

I recorded about 5 tapes in this unit and now I get the famous "Lens Cap" error that seems to plague JVC Camcorders. It will record audio, but no video. This Camera is not on the JVC repair list. What a piece of junk.

Customer Support is a mis-nomer with JVC. They know they have a problem, but refuse to even listen. Do not buy a JVC camcorder.

just a piece of junk
by David C. Gosse from cincinnati, oh, 2007-05-08

JVCs are great if you don't need any accessories or never need customer service. if you do you are in trouble. I bought a JVC video recorder last year and despite it being new it came without most of the accessories offered with it--things you'll probably need such as the cable to connect it to the TV and the one to connect it to the computer. I had to buy each of these for $40 each--they would not ship them, and also had to buy the software that was supposed to come with the camera. after all that, the leads broke, then the zoom button would stick, and finally the camera started eating tape. the customer service was useless and I finally just threw it out. I had owned this JVC product for less than a year and will never buy another one.
