JVC GR-DV700

As a starting camera for people interested in the film making art, the DV700 is a good starting place, with the ability to add wide angle and telephoto lens on the 52mm screw thread and filters, some really good footage may be obtained, and with the addition of an aftermarket mic, I've shot some footage nearly as good as the pro cameras I use, and it sits under the dashboard of my car, can't be bad!

For a great all round, better than average, DV camcorder, the GR-DV700 is without equal. At the entry to the broadcast quality sector it is the most user friendly camera you could wish to use, and light in weight. The resolution of the downloaded image is of a higher quality than I had ever expected. From the frozen peaks of Switzerland to the damp mists of the English Moors, the GR-DV700 has been a very pleasant suprise, and a hard act to follow.
