Short Review:

Your friends from abroad will delight in the videos you make with JVC’s GR-DF430. Mini DV tape gives great image quality that is preserved when you dub to other formats. The S-video connector keeps images looking great when you dub to a VCR or DVD recorder, and the Mini DV port allows loss-free video transfer to a PC. PCM digital audio enables you to record a soundtrack or narration on to your video. 5-second record is great for capturing snippets of a young one’s life on a tape. You can watch that young one grow before your eyes!

Not only do you get a great camcorder, you also get a digital still camera capable of 1024 x 768 images. You can store those images on a Mini DV tape or on SD or MMC cards. This camcorder also works as a webcam so you can stay in touch with loved ones by PC.
