Looking for my first ever video camera, I stumbled upon this 520A JVC, looks sleek, light weight, fair functionability, 800 000 pixels for digital stills (which is not bad for it's price).Compared to the sony at a similar price range, it lacked a few added extras which some may find useful :
1. Mpeg (not particularly that useful I suppose if you have firewire)
2. Night scope (the JVC does NOT COmpare to sony's night vision! it just decreases shutter speed)
3. Battery life I think that the sony stamina battery lasts a lot longer than the jvc pack.
4. Quality of video this is debatable I couldn't tell the diffirence though I was told that sony has a better colour.
5. USB streaming
6. B&W viewer it's quite annoying if you're used to a colour viewer. The LCD screen however is very clear. The sony has a TFT active matrix which may be slightly better. I was told that the LCD screen has a shorter life-span.
Compared to the Canon ZX5series some also have an SD Card, the JVC is cheaper, looks sleeker (I think) but similar otherwise.
The SD card is very useful I wouldn't buy one without a card. The battery life could be better. I think it's closer to 1 hour recording time. Even the so called "stamina" battery (which was not original) only lasted
