Reviews of the JVC GR-D370
-
CNET Review
The Good: This MiniDV camcorder is relatively inexpensive and offers a powerful 32X zoom in a fairly compact package.
The Bad: Wide-screen video appears distorted on the display; viewfinder must be extended to be activated.
The Bottom Line: Despite its relatively low price and big optical zoom range, the JVC GR-D370 does little else to distinguish itself in budget class.
