Can’t say that JVC has had any very impressive digital camcorder offerings this year, especially as word of the quality of their Everio line becomes more clear. JVC’s MiniDV line is still cranking away, and CNET has just posted their JVC GR-D650 review.
The GR-D650 features a large f/1.2 aperture lens, 15x optical zoom, and 1.3 megapixel still shots. The conclusion sums it up quite nicely:
This no-frills, easy-to-use MiniDV camcorder delivers solid video at a rock-bottom price. If you’re looking for a good value on a tight budget, the JVC GR-D650 will do the job.
