Pros: Data storage capability. 30Gb Hard Disc. No need for additional recording media. Large LCD. Software.
Cons: Easy to learn, but takes time. Included Battery insufficient. Car charger unavailable. Batteries costly.
Bottom Line: Buy if you plan on making good, long movies and will use often. For occasional use, more basic camcorders can be found for less.

Pros: Compact size, massive hard drive storage, direct and fast access to true digital recordings.
Cons: Poor battery life, problematic ".mod" file format, non tech savvy need not apply.
Bottom Line: Cutting edge, HDD offers many advantages, but is crippled by JVC's use of USB vs. firewire, and the foolish non standard video format. Tech-savvy operator required for advanced features.

Pros: compact
Cons: software stinks
Bottom Line: Stay away,It is not a user friendly product. I don't understand why JVC would include software that clearly doesn't work well with the camera.
