Wow what a Camera

Date of Review:  Feb 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: I would say that this camera is an excellent choice for anyone who demands an excellent picture or someone working weddings and events.
Review: MY EXPERIENCE: I am a military videographer and have used a bunch of different small format 3 CCD cameras. This one has got to be the best. I have used the Canon XL-1S, Sony VX-2000, VX1000, and a few others and I know what I am talking about.

Well Thought Out Design

Date of Review:  Oct 24, 2002
The Bottom Line: It's the best deal in the prosumer market right now. Definitely worth checking out.
Review: First, let's talk about creature comforts. For those of you who are already familiar with the pd150 and the xl1, these will make great sense:

-This unit has both a color lcd and a color viewfinder.

-Volume levels for both...

Better than most.

Date of Review:  Jun 19, 2003
The Bottom Line: Buy it, but don't bang it around.
Review: Overall, I like the design and ease of use of this camera.
Best was the image quality and audio inputs/control/monitoring ability. The XLR inputs are in an odd position, though. Viewfinder and LCD image clarity are better than most.

Great Values, Pro Features and Quality

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2004
The Bottom Line: Great camera for entry-level professionals
Review: This camera is an excellent choice for entry-level professionals or very serious hobbyists. I have used my JVC-GY-DV300 along with my JVC-GY-DV500 to produce a short film and make several video productions. No one can tell when I switch between...

For the image quality you get, the price is well worth it.

Date of Review:  Aug 30, 2003
The Bottom Line: The image quality is well worth the $4000 MSRP, and a steal at under $2500. When compared to all of the aforementioned cameras, this one certainly shines.
Review: When up against similar models, i.e. pro-sumer "large" handhelds, the DV300 is a clear winner. As of now, the current crop of these similar models are as follows:

* Sony PD150 (an oldie but a goodie)
* Sony VX2000 (very similar to the...

My JVC gy-dv300 camera nightmare!

Date of Review:  May 10, 2003
The Bottom Line: JVC means failure to me. Both from a professional embarrassment and a monetary loss. AM (Horror Film Director)
Review: BRAND NEW CAMERA! I am a serious DV film maker and i do know alot about miniDV cameras and the JVC gy-dv300 is what you should not invest in or waste your time on. It is junk.

Sure, you get a nice picture, better than Canon's XLS1, but you...
