jipy Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I was wondering how good is the JVC grd22u camcorder. They dont sell that model in US. They sell it in Canada and Europe. Its 680k pixels camera with 16x optical zoom and all regular features. I had almost decided to buy the canon zr80 but now with more than $100 difference I am considering the JVC as an option. Any comments, suggestions... cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warlock110 Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 i wouldn't go for anything without 3CDD, the picture is just not comparible and it feels as if u would wanna buy a different one later when you use it, trust me, i got one of those regular one, i was happy, then i saw the picture of those 3CCD camera produce, i was like "i got to get one of thsoe" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I would check out the 3CCD panasonics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jipy Posted November 21, 2004 Author Share Posted November 21, 2004 but i think they are not less than $600 which is beyond my budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMAN Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 It's difficult to find reviews on this non-USA model but I did find the JVC GR-D33US for $313.49 on CircuitCity.com Remember back in the day when a decent camcorder was $800+? Now you can find entry level models for under $500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jipy Posted November 21, 2004 Author Share Posted November 21, 2004 I wanted the Sony HC40 in the beginning, but due to a tight budget later decided for the canon zr80. but now with this jvc gr-d22u which still is a minidv cam with 680k pixels and all regular features i am in a dilema... canon zr80 would be $300 at the least and if the bestbuy rumor comes out to be true, the jvc one would be $200.... lets see..
