Amazon.com Product Description

The JVC GR-D395 MiniDV with 32x Optical Zoom features a powerful 32x high-performance optical zoom, 800x digital hyper-zoom, wide-screen 16:9 modes and a built-in tele-conversion lens. Thanks to a new auto feature, the GR-D370 is extremely easy to use. With a simple touch of a button, you can instantly switch between manual and automatic operation.

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. An SD/MMC card slot lets you increase your capacity, and the camcorder also includes a full-function remote and three-hour data battery.

With the wide angle lens, this works very well for my business purpose. Great low light capability. Takes nice moon pictures with a filter.

5.0 out of 5 stars JVC A Winner with Remote Control Zoom, July 4, 2006

I absolutely LOVE this JVC GR-395. It is difficult to find a MiniDV camcorder with remote control, let alone a reasonably priced one. I have been able to shoot some outstanding video thanks to the remote zoom. I have owned at least 5 MiniDV cams and am soooo pleased with this camera. A couple weeks later I purchased a refurbished Sharp MiniDV with a remote and the thing stopped working after just a couple days. I am not a professional, but I strongly recommend this unit for anyone wanting a dependable unit with super features for a great price. Don't even hesitate. Just order this thing TODAY. You'll be thrilled with this camera!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Camcorder but with low photo resolution, January 6, 2007

It's a great Camcorder despite still uses MiniDV tapes. However, the attached Digital Camera has a low resolution (640 x 480) and it's the weak point of this equipment. The Zoom is great but requires a support for zoom.
