Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The JVC GR-AX750U offers a wide variety of features and useful options in an easy-to-use VHS-C format. The picture stabilizer gets rid of annoying picture shake--it corrects slight shaking of images. Your viewers will appreciate this feature during playback because it will make your recording easier to watch. The GR-AX750U also offers 300x digital 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.

VHS-C format tapes 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. The JVC GR-AX750U 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 8 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-AX750U offers digital wipes and fades, as well as a black fader and a quick review and retake function. The accessories include a shoulder strap, compact VHS cassette playback adapter, and battery recharger.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice entry-level camera, June 18, 2000

This camcorder is nice for the amateur or anyone looking for an inexpensive camera. The variable-speed zoom and fades/wipes are features that can add a professional touch. It is light enough to take anywhere, and has a long enough battery time to withstand the long haul, unless you're planning on filming a low-budget movie with it (Blair Witch?). I enjoy this device, but I would urge anyone with a bit more cash to go for a higher-end model.

3.0 out of 5 stars I Think This One's OK, June 15, 2000

By 

Dawn E. Reilly "deadgirrrl" (Las Vegas, Nevada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: JVC GR-AX750U Palm Size Compact VHS Camcorder (Electronics)

This is my second JVC camcorder, and it isn't bad at all. I haven't had it for very long, but it was pretty easy to use. It is not feature-rich, but it has enough to keep me occupied. I am a beginner camcorder user, and I was shooting and playing tapes back with ease very quickly. The focusing isn't great, but on the upside, it does pretty well in darker environments. I was shooting in dim conditions and the picture was nice and clear. The sound is OK too. Playback was alright, but somewhat grainy. The appearance of the camera isn't all that sleek, but all in all it is a reliable, easy to use model.

4.0 out of 5 stars Carefree Camcording!, June 15, 2000

This review is from: JVC GR-AX750U Palm Size Compact VHS Camcorder (Electronics)

I am a fan of the VHS-C format, even though my previous camcorder, a Panasonic, was somewhat tempramental. No problems here, though, as what we have is a sturdy, inexpensive gem of a camera with enough features to satisfy the average user - not too many extarneous ones that you really don't need anyway! The zoom is just fine, the fade is a nice touch on a model of this size, and we're looking forward to creating our answer to Wallace & Gromit once we try the animation setting! Great value.
