Worth Buying... - Vll, I just bought it last week, Its really amazing and worth buying, I' also a Sony geek and then got interest in sony products, but this camcorder really shaked me up I saw it, Its compact and lightest in camcorders avaiable in market and most esp. smaller & lighter then Sony ones, I seen both i.e. Sony SR35e, SR55e and this one, But this one offers almost the same features of sony in mor...

When I came to download the recorded files to my mac, I discovered that the native JVC mod. format is not recognised or playable. It appears that in-order to play the recorded files, separate video converter software has to be purchase (approximately £30 -£40). is a further expensive th...
