 | "Initial Quality is Great but a Very Fragile Camera - Not Recommended" | 2006-04-22 |
| I bought this camera in 2001 when the fetures available in this model was fairly high-end among consumer models. The picture and sound quality was great and to my opinion better than comparably priced Sony models. I used the camera very lightly, only in special events and maintained it nicely, taking good care. However, after 4 years it started malfunctioning. When I power it on for recording, it gives out an error screen asking me to remove and re-attach battery and the unit is in safeguard mode! I have two new batteries (original JVC) and the same problem. When I remove the battery and try to use it with AC Adapter, the error is still displayed. Only the battery instruction is not displayed! I tried head-cleaners etc with no result. After several trial of removing and re-attaching battery, taking the casette out and putting it back in, sometimes the camera starts working again and abrupty dies after some time of recording. Additionally, the casette compartment often does not work automatically. Either the casette won't go in or it won't come out upon opening the compartment. Basically, the mechanisms are designed quite poorly as I see it. | ||

| "Ok for the price" | 2005-11-24 |
| I own one of these for more than a year now. Since then actually I bought a Garmin auto GPS which is much more expensive. The one I bought came with a mapping software, not the direct route. Therefore, it does not help me auto navigate. Only shows my current position. It is very difficult to find a place because of limited menu functions. However, I found something that may help other users. Contrary to what the manual says, I could use a 512MB SD card and loaded a bunch of maps with USB connection straight to the card using SD card adapter. All you need to do is to limit each file well below 64MB and follow the indexed file naming used by the unit. This worked for me and the unit could recognize all the areas in all the files that I uploaded. Additionally, it is impossible to upload a lot of data with the supplied serial cable. USB transfer was fast. Cheers. | ||
