JVC Camcorder - Anyone have experience with it?

I'm saw one on sale at Frys, and thought I'd ask if anyone here might
have one and can give me a thumbs up or down on it. Basically I need
one for work -- just a good, noise-free record.... nothing professional
quality.

JVC Mini-DV CamCorder
GRD770US
34x optical zoom
900x digital zoom
1/6-inch 680 K pixel CCD
SD memory slot
USB connection
Frys GRD770US #5135386
$239

Thanks. How about Sharp? I have an older tape camcorder and it worked
great.

Where do you get your info from?

The last 3 devices I bought made by Panasonic were crap. Fax machine - VERY difficult to use (fax machine? difficult? sure was!!); TV/VCR -- anti-intuitive remote, again hard to believe it was Panasonic. Last was an answering machine that lasted about 3 months.

If you Google for something like 'best camcorder' you will see that most
reviewers will suggest Panasonic, Sony and Canon more or less in that
order. It's not me suggesting these makes, but the professionals who
review them.

Regards,
John.
