At the heart of the camcorder is a 1/6-inch 680,000 pixel CCD. Other features include a data battery function that displays time remaining with and without LCD use; Live Slow, which records in slow motion while retaining real-time audio; an Auto Illumi-Light mode for illuminating dark scenes; Power-Linked operation that turns on the power and puts the camcorder in standby mode simply by opening the LCD; and a 2.5-inch LCD color monitor that delivers a bright, clear image by reducing reflection and glares, even in bright sunlight.

A friend purchased the camera for his wife, and we used it to record the progress we made in renovating a duplex. Knowing nothing about mini dv's at the time, I was able to pick up this fun little toy and get to recording right away.

I enjoyed it so much that I bought the same model for my wife, who is adverse to technology, and she loves it too.

I've played with other models and brands of recorder, and I still like the JVC 350 because it has fairly high quality coupled with intuitive controls and camera functions that do all the work. I also got it for a great price compared to other brands with similar features.

I like this camcorder because it is small, lightweight and travels easily. Neat little feature- you can take snapshots while recording video. I'm very happy with the optical zoom. The only downfall- no separate charger for the battery so the camera has to be plugged in to charge it, which is very limiting. On the upside- it charges quickly.

Being a camcorder novice I liked this item. Fit my needs for recording family memories. Just recently got it for trip to WDW. So nice and compact, a delight to carry around since it fit in one of my purse pockets. At the end of a day @ Disney World you appreciate compact & lightweight. Video looks great. Oh and I got it cheaper here @ Amazon.com than @ local Wal-mart.
