Product Description
You're In The Director's ChairPreserving memories, whether it's baby's first steps or that dream vacation, the GRD372 makes it easy. Its powerful 32x optical zoom lens gets tight close-ups of your subject and the 2.5 inch Clear LCD monitor reduces glare and reflections so you'll always see your subject, especially outdoors. The GRD372's 16:9 video mode (high quality) means you can take full advantage of new widescreen televisions. Other conveniences include power-linked operation, Night Alive, and an 800x digital zoom. This comprehensive feature package makes the GRD372 a great value.Never Run Out Of BatteryAnother advantage of the GRD372 is JVC's new Data Battery. With a press of a button you can view five levels of remaining battery and record time on the Clear LCD monitor. Never again will you find yourself in the middle of a shoot with the juice running out or gone: you will know when the battery requires charging. In addition, the trim high capacity Lithium-ion rechargeable battery delivers up to 1.5 hours recording.Up Close And PersonalMost digital camcorders offer a combination zoom, with one number representing the optical power of the lens and a second number indicating how far the image can be digitally enlarged. Of the two, the optical range usually has the most impact on lens performance. The GRD372's lens has an optical zoom of 32x, providing a substantial level of magnification. If you want the picture to be even larger, the 800x digital zoom really brings you in on the details. Even better, this Hyper Zoom uses sophisticated processing known as Spline Interpolation to eliminate jagged edges and other forms of visual degradation that often plague lesser lenses. The flaws of inferior lenses are most noticeable at full magnification. With Spline Interpolation working for you, your shots are noticeably superior even when digitally enlarged hundreds of times.

Good, but basic May 22, 2007

I bought this camera after quite a bit of research as I had limited funds, but still wanted a quality item. I've owned it for nearly a year & will say that it definitely is nice & compact, user-friendly, & shoots quality video. I did not buy it for the digital image ability as I was told that it really didn't take quality pictures.
My one & only complaint is that there is no way to download the video onto a PC. I was told by a Costco rep. that it had those capabilities, which was a huge selling point for me. At the time, I was 8 months pregnant & by the time I had a chance to attempt a download, my 90-day return ability was long gone. Had I been able to, I would have immediately returned it & paid a little more money for something I could eventually burn onto a CD or DVD.
So, if you're fine with VCR tapes or just keeping your video files on the mini-tapes, then by all means, purchase this product because it really is a good deal for the money.
