Comments about JVC GZ-HM200 Everio S High Definition 'PAL' Camcorder (Onyx Black):
I got this when my daughter was born, but i wanted something i could use as well for B-Roll with my Canon-XL-H1
I've only had it for almost a month now, and im pretty satisfied with it, of course it's a small camera with a fixed lens and everything but, it's a great little light weight-second angle-action cam
