I tried photographing a night train which you can see on my channel and the train was just a blur. Check it out. Also what size filters fit this camera. I have yet to find out what size it is.
is this camera any good? One time i thought about getting it but they were too expensive like 500 bucks. they r probably pretty cheap now b/c everyones going HD. Personally I dont need HD im fine with 4:3 video but my PSP has a 16:9 screen and so does my 19 inch Sansui HDTV.
This model was never anywhere near $500. It was JVC's entry-level flash memory camcorder for 2008, originally $250 or so but I got mine on sale for $179, and until recently they had refurbished ones selling for around $150. The closest new model from JVC is the GZ-MS120, which is a little bigger and has two SD card slots. However I would recommend the Canon FS200 instead because it produces clearer video (even while still being Standard Definition) and has an external stereo microphone input.
thats a nice camera but a little big for me. I like my can on powershot but id like to be able to use it to record stuff from TV like a DVR. I would use it to record gaming videos.
I use a free program called SDcopy. It transfers the .MOD files from the camcorder into .MPG files on your computer and sets the 16:9 flag, without needing to re-encode. You can also add the tag "yt:stretch=16:9" to your video on YouTube to make it show up in widescreen.
I got it from Amazon (dot) com for $179. I use a free program called SDcopy to transfer the video clips from the camera and then another free program called Video ReDo Plus for video editing.
Your camera seems to work well. My HD camera would not see ANYTHING in that low amount of light, even if I put the exposure time on as high as it goes and turned up the gain as far as i could. My other camera would probably be able to see, but the tape deck on it is busted so it would have to record straight onto the computer. I though that cat was in a cupboard for a second. I like flip clock too, pity is doesn't work.

This test is better than my Sanyo Xacti. It has issues with low light and when you zoom in it has to adjust the focus and that kills off the battery.

It's actually a "roll" clock. The numbers are on rolls of film that are driven by sprockets. The sprocket for the hour numbers is broken.

In these conditions my cheap AIPTEK camcorder would record nothing! I really like your new camcorder, it's a really good one!
