Prone to problems
2008-04-21

I am now on my second GRD90. The first one got dunked in saltwater during
a parasail at Paihia, Bay of Islands, New Zealand. Managed to salvage
the tape in it and had some spectacular shots. But, I digress, on with
the review.
The main problem is the condensation problem that locks up the camcorder.
Apparently the condensation sensor is a very weak point in this camera's
circuitry. There is a work-around: [...]. IF you're really handy,
The "Take your camcorder apart" fix is the best, but be VERY careful
about those very small screws.
Apparently JVC just leaves you hanging if you encounter this problem and
it will cost dearly to put it in the shop. Mine encountered it when I
was in Singapore, very HOT outside and about 450% (at least) humidity,
the hotel room's A/C was set on "Ice Age", and when I took the camera
outside it was all over.
On the plus side, I got this unit because of it's A/V input, analog
input from a VCR, 8MM, TV, etc. BUT, some relatively inexpensive units,
the Canon ZR700, for instance, have this feature. At the time I bought
JVC it was the only one I found with analog input and I have used it
extensively to put my 8MM tapes on DVD.
It isn't too bad, and you might never encounter any problems. I would
not recommend this camcorder, nor would I recommend against it, just do
your research and make your buying decision based on good knowledge,
lots of info available on the web. Overall, I like it and now that I
have the condensation problem fixed I will resume using it a lot. |

Don't Buy JVC Products!!!!

| This camcorder worked fine for a little over a year.Then suddenly the "Condensation Error" appeared.I take great care of my stuff so I know that it was not my fault.I contacted JVC and they told me that this problem had not been reported and they would not repair it.They told me that I would have to pay for the repairs.JVC customer support lied about this error problem.I did a great deal of research and found that this is very common among the GR-D series.I wouldn't have minded so much if the cost to repair wasn't so expensive.I was told by the local JVC service center that it would be cheaper to just buy a new camcorder.They also told me that they see a lot of this series and it either has this problem or the "Lens Cap" error.If you don't want to waste your money I would suggest that you stay away from JVC. |

| I purchased my camera refurbished and already I cannot get a picture from any live source. I only get playback from tapes already recorded. I am not happy at all with this product or purchase. |

1) I agree with all the reviews on poor picture quality.
2) also agree with the reviews on JVC's poor quality.
Lasted a year, to save one or two hundred dollars in this case you don't get what you pay for. I learned my lesson. |
