Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of JVC GR-SXM920U Palm Size Compact Super VHS Camcorder With LCD Monitor
Customer Review: Nice, easy to use Video camera
Summary: 4 Stars
Nice little unit. Had a cassette jam when I first got it. Had to send it in ( at my expense ) to Chicago, for repairs. Turn around time was 2 weeks. After that, never had another problem.Good photos, great zoom. Bought several filters and both a wide angle and telephoto lens to add to it. A must for this camera is a polarizer lens filter. Really brings out colors and reduces glare from water...... Simple to drop the small cassette into the vcr adapter to plug and play them immediately, or just hook it up directly to the TV to view. I also like the remote that comes with the unit. WARNING........GET EXTRA BATTERIES, AND A CHARGER. It eats power like peanuts.
This was my first video camera purchase. I am happy with what I got.....Not too complicated, but has features for me to grow into. It is not digital, but it also doesnt have a digital price either.
Description of JVC GR-SXM920U Palm Size Compact Super VHS Camcorder With LCD Monitor
camcorder, battery pack, AC power adapter, shoulder strap, VHS playpak, remote control, CD rom, RS232 cableThe JVC GR-SXM920U palm-size compact VHS-C camcorder offers 400x variable-speed digital zoom and 16x optical zoom. This is ideal for catching action at sporting events or just at home in your backyard. The zoom is a variable-speed zoom triggered by finger pressure with numeric zoom ratio readout in the viewfinder/monitor. The GR-SXM920U includes a high-resolution 2.5-inch LCD color monitor with 112,000 pixels. The monitor rotates 270 degrees so you can view what you are recording from any angle. The camcorder has three recording modes and uses S-VHS recording to deliver up to 60 percent better resolution than standard models. For quality and economy, the S-VHS ET mode lets you take high-resolution videos using any VHS-C tape. For compatibility with any VHS video recorder, standard VHS is also available.
At the touch of a button, Super LoLux boosts low light sensitivity to less than 1 lux for needed performance in real-life shooting situations. The picture stabilizer gets rid of annoying picture shake. Your viewers will appreciate this feature during playback because it will make your recording easier to watch. The JVC GR-SXM920U offers a digital still-shot capability and lets you download your images onto your PC for editing with the included software. The camcorder includes built-in flash memory of 2 MB. It stores VGA-size 640 x 480 pixel pictures--up to 60 images in standard resolution.
The VHS-C format tapes used in this camcorder are simply smaller-size VHS tapes. You can play your tapes in any VCR with the included cassette adapter. This feature also allows the manufacturer to make a compact, affordable camcorder. In case you need to travel away from an electrical outlet, the JVC GR-SXM920U includes a battery pack with a shooting capability of up to two hours. It has seven programmable auto exposure modes and digital special effects. The title generator features eight preset messages in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.
A time-lapse capability allows you to record at preset intervals to catch slow motion action such as plant growth or cloud movement. You can also record in a special animation mode that creates the illusion of movement for an otherwise stationary scene when you shoot a series of slightly different poses. For editing features, the JVC GR-SXM920U offers digital wipes and fades, as well as a black fader and a quick review and retake function. Through the J terminal you can easily integrate your JVC camcorder with PC and multimedia peripherals to create a computer-controlled video-playback and image-capture system. The necessary control software is supplied with select JVC digital camcorders. The accessories include a shoulder strap, compact VHS cassette playback adapter, AC adapter, remote control, and battery recharger.
