   I confess… I made the unforgivable mistake !!!!!

   Before buying my camcorder, I browsed the web for endless hours, for 2-3 months, looking for the best product within a reasonable price range. I kept IGNORING the SONY till the end, because it was a $100-150 more than the best I eventually found ….the JVC GRDVL820U.

   I should never have written that check without holding a SONY in my palm and seeing what it has to offer.

   I got my JVC and proudly used it the first 2 weeks ….but much was missing ….it didn’t live up to my expectations. The pictures were good but not sharp, as would be expected of a MegaPixel camcorder. Indoor shooting and shooting in low light was a pain ….color reproduction was horrible in subdued light.

   I was lucky I could return my camera and get my money back …..because soon I built up enough courage to walk upto a SONY dealer and try the DCR TRV38 ……AND IT LEFT ME SPEECHLESS!!!

   The color reproduction, even in low-low light is incredible. It enhances the picture tone and brightness beyond imagination. The picture sharpness is unbelievable ….truely MegaPixel. It has terrific functions, way-way advanced features, exceptional craftsmanship and looks.

   The SONY stands out at the top and has no challenger. I don’t mind the extra $100 or 150. I really can’t believe I ignored SONY initially!!!

   So…. DON’T BUY A CAMCORDER UNLESS YOU TRY A SONY !!!!

   This camcorder is user friendly with many great functions but, unfortunately, performes poorly in low-light situations or while shooting indoors with poor color reproduction. The color improves a bit with the NightAlive function but the shutter speed is so slow it causes a blurred image. NightAlive function cannot compare with the superb effect of MagicPix that Panasonic provides on their camcorders. In good light the picture sharpness, although good, is nowhere close to a SONY.
   I returned my JVC GRDVL820U and am buying a SONY !!

   I bought this camera/camcorder thinking that I would solve both my need for a digital camera and a camcorder. The camcorder worked beautifully. I was thouroughly impressed with the DV side of it. The still camera comletely sucked. The quality being offered is to put it lightly: OFFENSIVE. My advice would be to go out and get a 2 megapixel digital camera, a decent DV camcorder and save about $150 dollars. Trust me, you’ll be happier with the results you get, That’s what I did.
