GR-D395 the Noisy cam!

bydjcaseanova Mar 24, 2006
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small and lightweight focus/zoom features lighting options REMOTE!!
Cons This is the only CON, it's extremely loud!
Recommended it? Yes

Just purchased this camcorder 3/22/06 and finally fired it up last night. The cam is great in size and weight, very form fitting for the hands, but takes a while to get used to. Both record mode and play mode have their own sets of menu options which makes it confusing (at least it did for me)... Read full review »

Super little camcorder

Pros lightweight easy to use.
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

This thing is so light, you will be surprised.  I had used an older camcorder and would get cramps holding it up while taping.  Not with this.  It's a snap.  The menu is pretty simple to follow.  The rotating view finder makes it easy to shoot at any angle. Read full review »
