Awful product and customer service.......2007-12-10

We bought this camcorder after the birth of our first son. Fifteen months later it stopped working out of the blue. We sent it to the authorized service center and were told that the main board was corroded. They said the reason for the corrosion was possibly humidity or long-term water leak. We are absolutely certain that the camcorder did not get any water. JVC's customer service was a joke - they did not even respond to our complaint. We basically lost $500 by buying this product because we used it only for 15 months. We will never buy another JVC product again. EVER.

Super small, meets my needs well........2007-10-14

I use this camera for recording my daughters' gymnastics and basketball/volleyball events. Works great and I can just throw it in my digital camera bag. As stated in other reviews, the still camera feature is OK, but not great. Fine in a pinch.

Unfortunately, the thing that makes it so sweet (compact size) also works against it, if only slightly. For any man with man-sized hands, this camera will be slightly difficult to operate. When your right hand is holding the camera through the grip, your fingers and thumb will extend past the button positions. You'll have to bend your fingers to work the controls. Because of this, starting and stopping the recording feature is sure to introduce a little shake into the video. Use your other hand to steady the camera or use a monopod. Very much a keeper as far as I'm concerned.

Because each recording creates a different file on the enclosed HDD, be sure to stop and start the recording more than you might on other tape-driven cameras.

Windows Media Player will play the .MOD files created with this camera. Windows Movie Maker (included with Vista) will also read these files and allow you to easily add text and transitions. A utility mentioned in another review, SDCopy Beta available from Sektionschef, is a must if you record at 16x9. It's the only way I've been able to set the 16x9 flag on the files and have them play back in the proper format.

Windows Movie Maker will also rotate the video if you take it vertically instead of horizontally.

Using the dock to transfer files to my PC is a snap. It also charges the battery (but not at the same time as the file transfer). Camera must be switched ON for file transfer, OFF for battery charge.

VERY happy with this purchase.

JVC Everior GAMG255.......2007-10-11

Please read the other detailed reviews here....my review is more for MAC users.

For MAC users....This product works best with iLife '08. Clip in the firewire or usb and open iLife '08 and the clips start downloading - very simple. You can find a way to make it work with '06 but it involves changing the MPEG-2 formats (.mod files) over to a viewable format on your MAC. You can download DVdownload or Streamclip to make this happen, but it is convoluted.

Other than that, this is a fantastic camera. The quality of the still photos are great and even on the lowest setting the digital movie shots are crisp. It's light, its clean and simple. I looked at the Sony, Panasonic and other JVC hard drive camcorders - this one, hands down, is the top of the heap (for the money). Looking for a good hard drive camcorder - look no further!

Amazon.com Product Description

The original Eterna Mid-Size binocular has always been one of Brunton's most popular models, but the company--never one to rest on its laurels--decided that great wasn't good enough. Thus, the Mid-Size underwent a complete redesign to improve its already formidable collection of features. Among the new options are a multi-step eye relief system that allows for comfortable viewing even while wearing eyeglasses, and state-of-the-art phase and multi-coatings that give the Mid-Size a leg up on reflective sunlight. The coatings also help sharpen edges and protect colors, giving users a crisp resolution when peering through the 32mm objective lenses. Add in a sleek new ergonomic body armor that's been reworked to enhance the appeal for a new generation of Brunton users and you have an ideal binocular for folks who don't need a super-powerful optic but do value high-quality results.

Specifications range from 10x power that delivers a 315-foot field of view at 1,000 yards to a 15mm long eye relief to a 3.2mm exit pupil. The focus system, meanwhile, sharpens images as close as 4 feet. Additional features include high-quality BaK-4 prism glass, tripod and monopod compatibility, and a waterproof and fog-proof housing. All this in a lightweight, easy-to-wield body that weighs a mere 25 ounces.

The Eterna Mid-Size binocular measures 5.4 by 4.8 by 2 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Product Description

One of the most popular models, the Eterna Mid Size was completely redesigned this year to further its already superb performance features. The Mid Size boasts a multi-step eye relief system that allows for comfortable viewing, even with eyeglasses. State-of-the-art multi-coatings give the Mid Size a leg-up on reflective sunlight and are responsible for sharpening edges and protecting colors. The sleek new ergonomic body armor has also been reworked to enhance the appeal for a new generation of Brunton binoculars.
