JVC GR-D350 Camcorder Review

Compression (8.0)
The D350 uses standard DV compression and a data rate of 25 Mbps for its video.

Media (8.0)
Although the JVC GR-D350 does have the ability to record still images, it does not include a separate memory device for this process. Users will find that, when shooting with the GR-D350, both still and video images are recorded in a 640 x 480 format onto 6.35 mm MiniDV cassette tape. While this format is far superior to DVD or HDD camcorders for video, higher end camcorders offer users multiple recording formats: memory card and DVD, MiniDV, or Hard Disk Drive.

Editing (8.0)
The JVC GR-D350 does not come with included software. MiniDV footage, however, is the easiest video format to import and edit on a computer. All major editing programs can work with MiniDV video, and there are no issues with file type conversions and incompatibility like those which can occur with DVD footage.
