Reviews on JVC GR-D250US Digital Camcorder - 2.5" LCD - CCD
Nice entry-level Digital Camcorder
Strengths: CHEAP, easy to use
Weakness: Poor sound quality
Good entry level digital camcorder. My basic use is videoing my kids sports. Seems good for outside daylight shooting, little dim indoors, but haven't read the manual yet (oops!). Just turn it on and record. Easy playback. Haven't downloaded to create DVD's yet, but that was my main purpose in going digital.
good entry level camcorder
Strengths: low price, 25X optical zoom.
Weakness: Poor video quality in low light.
As an entry level camcorder in $200 price range, this is a good camcorder to have. It does a good job recording video under good light. And it does not use SD card to record pictures, which help bring the price down. It records still picture to the tape. The function in camcorder to shoot
JVC GR-D250US: a great Mini DV
I bought this Mini DV from Dell recently. It's very compact, just as big as the palm. It's easy to use and quality is good. I just wish it includes a firewire cable. However, it started ripping off my tapes the second time I used it. It had to be sent to manufacture center for repair, which took 6.5 weeks. My broken tapes are not covered by the warranty. Very bad experience. :-(
Great choice for everyday home use.
Strengths: Low price. Small and light.25X Optical Zoom
Weakness: No S-Video out. Weak battery.
I used to have bulky JVC camcorder, which was purchased 3 years ago. This unit is almost half in size and weight. Considering its price (I got it at around 200 bucks), it's an excellent choice. It lacks S-Video output though. Also the included battery is weak. Guess I need a high capacity battery.
Great camera....for the price.
Strengths: Price...price!!
Weakness: Battery life is pretty weak...at 60mins, doesnt have a slot for storing digital stills on an external card.
For the price, its VERY hard to find a better camcorder. Many might think twice about the JVC brand, however, I think they have an excellend product (for this price range). I dont miss the fact that it doesnt have a shoe to attach external lighting or the SD card. All in all great video quality . Am Happy!
one of the best entry-level Mini-DV camcorder
Strengths: low budget, super 25X optical zoom & 800x Digital zoom
Weakness: low light shooting is a pain.
It is one of the best entry-level Mini-DV camcorder. We considered Canon ZR100 and other Panansonic models before buying this one. Its 25x optical zoom and 800x digital zoom is really amazing when shooting outside. However, be prepared when using indoors. Low light shooting using this camcorder is really painful. Overall, good product with a comfortable price tag. Excellent entry-level Mini-DV...
JVC GR-D250US Digital Camcorder - 2.5" LCD - CCD
Strengths: Price, Lightweight, Point & Shoot, Controls, and Menu
Weakness: Changing settings, Hand strap
I purchased the 250us to film my daighter's softball games and volleyball games and cherrleading. I've filmed four hours final DVD product and have sent it out to the grandparents and family and picture is clear. Filming inside a gym was not too bad, but I had to look up a few pointers on the net to get it fine tuned. Now all it takes is a couple of setting changes and I can shoot anywhere....
If on clearance ..Probably a good deal
Strengths: Design,Price,Portability
Weakness: Low light weakness
Not a camcorder for a real gadget freak but a decent camcorder for the price I paid.Video is decent, sound is acceptable.Light as a feather, feels good in the hand.I got a rock bottom price, clearanced for under $125. How could I complain ?

TopQuick Review Camcorders: JVC GR-D250
The 2005 entry level camcorder for the JVC GR-D200 series, the GRD-250, is 30 percent smaller than last year’s models, the GRD33. JVC's approach for this current GR-D series seems to be an emphasis on style, accentuated by functionality. This model's buttons, and ports layout make the camcorder easier to use. Unfortunately, with the slimmer design is the absence of much needed features and...
TopJVC GR-D250 Camcorder Review
With an MSRP of US$429.95 and a street price of $330, the JVC GR-D250 is JVC’s entry level model in the low-end consumer camcorder market. The model replaces last year's GR-D33, which received much praise for its handling of low light. Sadly, the feature that enabled the camcorder to process and reproduce color at incredibly low light levels has been removed. JVC did not include 3D noise...

Excellent Deal
Strengths: Low Price, High Quality
Weakness: Entry Level
Keep in mind that this is an entry-level camcorder. However, according to every review I read (and I read many!) this is top-of-the-line when it comes to its price range. JVC has built a quality camcorder at a low price for those of us who are just getting into the MiniDV market. It works very well, has a great zoom, beutiful picture quality. You can use a firewire cable to connect to your PC and...
