Conclusion
When you're shopping for an inexpensive, high definition camcorder, it usually comes down to making some sacrifices. With the JVC GZ-HD300, there are plenty of those: poor sensitivity in low light, mediocre noise levels, disappointing still photography, only the finicky Laser Touch controls for manual image adjustment, and no sign of a viewfinder, accessory shoe, or headphone/microphone jacks. What you gain with the HD300, however, might be far more important to this product's target demographic; the HD300 is incredibly small and compact, has excellent bright light color accuracy, is blessed with simple menus and control interfaces, and sports both a 60GB internal hard drive and an affordable price tag. If that sort of trade-off seems like it's right up your alley, then the JVC GZ-HD300 might be just the camcorder for you.
