Product Description
The GR-D850 comes with a 2.7" 16:9 Widescreen clear LCD monitor that gives you a more realistic visual due to the extended field of vision, that is common in today's flat panel displays. The Clear LCD feature reduces reflections and glare to maintain a clear, visible and bright viewing during outside recording. Zoom right into the action with this powerful 35x optical zoom. The image is magnified optically to eliminate jagged edges. Images can be further enlarged up to 800x when combined with the digital zoom. Or boost light sensitivity for a bright picture even in environments with minimal illumination, always giving you full color, without any distance limitations with the NightAlive feature that also works in both still and video modes. Finally this camcorder has 3-Dimension Noise Reduction (3D NR) that automatically provides a more accurate noise reduction. The video noise is reduced by 30% in low light for a 2dB improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio. End result, you get a brighter picture with less noise, even in low light.

 Good low res camcorder for family use. June 8, 2008

The JVC GR-D850 MiniDV Camcorder is our 3rd JVC camcorder. It was purchased primarily for quick capture of family events and we didn't expect the final video to be as high a quality as our previous JVC GR-DV800U which cost almost 3 times as much. So, when we powered up the camcorder and took our first video we weren't too disappointed. That being said, this camcorder is small enough to tote around just about anywhere and comes in handy when hiking in the woods or around family gatherings. The final video produced isn't too bad although the color balance is just OK.
For the price this is a good buy.
So far, so good... April 22, 2008

I bought this one for my mom and dad. It seems just as easy to use as the one I purchased a few years back. It's lightweight and mom seems to understand how to use it after about ten minutes of showing her how to do things.
The only thing I would not like is that it lacks a viewfinder (like on a film camera) -- all it has is the large LCD display. If you prefer a viewfinder, you may want to look at other camcorders.

The sound and video quality is amazing! I am very impressed by the quality of the image and sound even at night. There is no blurring when panning around either, but at night its performance slightly suffers. Sometimes it takes a few seconds to focus correctly at night from switching from close to distant objects, but it is crystal clear. The sound is GREAT. Its easy to use, easy to hold.
In order to place taped videos to the PC, you need a Fire Wire port on your computer, a 6pin to 4pin fire wire cable, and a lot of hard drive space. One hour is about 14 gigs when transfered 100% uncompressed. After editing and compression though the file size is very manageable.
**For every minute you record it takes one minute to transfer to the PC**
If I had payed 350 dollars for this, I would still be amazed. Its the steal of the year, so cheap yet so good...! I bought the camera, firewire cable, three Fuji Film MiniDV's with tax didnt break 300 dollars!
This is the first camera I've ever owned.
