The JVC GRD230. This is a miniDV camera. It says here mega pixel digital video camera. It does take the standard miniDV tapes. LCD screen and go like that. And it's hey I'm video taping the camera. This is a one chip camera not a three chip camera. So the image quality is satisfactory. It's not a professional image. It's not wide screen it's not high [indiscernible]. It's not 16 x 9 at all. But it's a good for the price. If you're looking for a nice little consumer camera it's just something for fun for family outings treat trips you know vacations. You know it works well for its price. You can also record on the memory card here. You can insert your memory card in the bottom right there. It's just right underneath right there. It's also takes steal pictures. Keep in mind; this does not have a flash. But what it does have? It does have a light. So it's pretty understood. And that light is pretty bright for its illuminates doesn't light up the whole room but you know lights up whatever image your shooting. You know it's the couple of feet from the camera here. You know fairly bright image as you could see. Just turn the light off. So instead of using the LCD screen you can also [indiscernible] and use the view finder here. I don't have too many problems with this. The image quality is opted for a more professional image quality 16 x 9. You can shoot [indiscernible] 16 x 9 which means the wide screen shot. But for this camera it's a nice on camera. Satisfactory image you can watch you know you can watch the image. You could see the image and it's fairly satisfactory. So you know not a great camera but a descent camera. Satisfactory camera. This one does have audio input. You can actually plug in a Mic for better sound. I will say that the sound on this is excellent. But other than that the JVC GRD230 is pretty good camera. Check it out.
