JVC GR-D796 Review

by Brian Chen

- The JVC GR-D796 ($330 as of May 11, 2007) is an inexpensive MiniDV camcorder that shoots fair-quality video and still images. Despite its simple design and a user-friendly interface, the GR-D796 offers some advanced features, including a wide-screen mode, white-color balance, and electronic image stabilization. If you're an aspiring filmmaker or wannabe YouTube star, the GR-D796 is a reasonably good entry-level camcorder that you can learn the basics of videography on at a low cost.
