| Any views? Robert I don't know if it helps but I paid a fortune (£1250 because I got it the week it came out having read so many shiny reviews) for the GrDV2000 - the 'big brother' of that camera, and it has been nothing but trouble. It has been in the repair shop longer than I've had it - I've used it about three times. It was the biggest waste of money - a hundred or two quid more and I could have got a Canon XM1. Doh. I don't know about that JVC - maybe it's great but I wouldn't touch JVC with a barge pole now. If I had a few hundred quid, I would get on ebay and try and get a 2nd hand VX1000 or something equally tried & tested. Andy Robert Woolley wrote in message ...

There's a rather flimsy looking cover for the battery charging point on the camera. The other annoyance is that there are no mic sockets - so either I record sound using DAT (no chance) or relay on the inbuilt mics. Microsoft Movie Maker is ok for mucking around, but which of the £50 packages do people find best? I've tried the demo of Pinnacle Studio 8. It does crash. Ulead Video 7 is now being tested. Seems easier to use. I have a very high spec PC - 2.66 GHz chip, 160 MB hard drive, 2 GB Memory.... Rob. -- rob at robertwoolley dot co dot uk |
