JVC unveils new compact MiniDV camcorder line
January 7, 2005; 5:44 p.m.
 The product: JVC has reduced the size of its compact MiniDV camcorders by 30 percent this year while endowing them with versatile 25X zoom lenses. At the top of the compact line, the GR-D295 offers a built-in video light, megapixel still-image capture, and a new Live Slow feature that captures slow-motion footage with real-time sound. Two step-down models, the GR-D250 and the GR-D270, knock off a few features to reach lower price points. Other features of all three models include:
The prospects: JVC faces stiff competition from brands such as Canon and Sony in the mainstream consumer-camcorder area, but the competitive prices and the big zoom ranges of these models should make them attractive options for home-video makers.
