JVC GR-D395 Reviews

Great for my purposes
by T. Ryan from PLAINFIELD IL United States, 2007-01-11

With the wide angle lens, this works very well for my business purpose. Great low light capability. Takes nice moon pictures with a filter.

Poor CS
by Noam Sorbsky from Springfield, IL, 2007-01-07

I had a recent poor experience with JVC and thought I would share it with others so it does not happen again. Recently JVC just let me down when it was obvious the camera was poorly designed and built. They were not interested in even trying to help out.
I am now using a different brand and will definitely avoid JVC in the future. I just hate it when companies do not care about their customers but just about profit. This will come back and bite them in the behind.

Great Camcorder but with low photo resolution
by Jose A. Pacheco Silva from Sao Paulo, Brazil, 2007-01-06

It's a great Camcorder despite still uses MiniDV tapes. However, the attached Digital Camera has a low resolution (640 x 480) and it's the weak point of this equipment. The Zoom is great but requires a support for zoom.

DO NOT buy this camcorder
by Disgruntled from Ohio, 2006-10-25

This is the second JVC camcorder that I have purchased. The first one is still working fine. The new one however picks up a terrible motor noise from the camera. If you want to listen to a buzzing noise during all of your videos then buy all means but it, otherwise if you like clean audio I would not reccomend this camcorder. The camera makes a loud whirring sound that is picked up by the microphone and is very loud on the tape.

JVC A Winner with Remote Control Zoom
by STEPHEN CLARK from Hockessin, DE USA, 2006-07-04

I absolutely LOVE this JVC GR-395. It is difficult to find a MiniDV camcorder with remote control, let alone a reasonably priced one. I have been able to shoot some outstanding video thanks to the remote zoom. I have owned at least 5 MiniDV cams and am soooo pleased with this camera. A couple weeks later I purchased a refurbished Sharp MiniDV with a remote and the thing stopped working after just a couple days. I am not a professional, but I strongly recommend this unit for anyone wanting a dependable unit with super features for a great price. Don't even hesitate. Just order this thing TODAY. You'll be thrilled with this camera!
