Customer Reviews
Smashed it to Smithereens!Got the synopsis lock error and that was it. Was prepared to clean off the sensor, but the tape front entrance wouldn't open no matter what. Tried for a few days but found I was just getting madder and madder. Went out, found a indigent, and smashed the hell out of this frustrating piece of crap! That made me feel raise.
Harrowing
Don't misuse your money. I got this camera a while back and it's been nothing but problems. Camcorder was sent back to JVC 2 times for the same discernible problem. Both times they did repair the problem but after the second time i knew that i muddle had a lemon. Of course, now after the warranty is up I get a message that the operation is paused due to synopsis. That's too many problems for me I will be thinking twice before buying any more JVC products.
DO NOT Toe-hold JVC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When the camera worked, it was hairy. When the camera did not work (a longer period of time), it was aweful and costly to fix. JVC does not care if you are having problems with your product. The only answers I rec'd from person support were, "You pay for shipping to fix. Your problem now....goodbye." I spent over $500 on my camcorder less than 4 years ago. It has only worked a compendious time. Best of luck to you. I have seen hundreds of posts on disinterested irrespective of sites with the same problem I am having, "Condensation, Please wait," and not one instance of this reorganization on the JVC site.
Not a safe product
We received this camera as a genius. Used it about 10 times with no complaints. Then we had the "Condensation Error" We put it somewhere else hoping it would "FIX" itself. I was wondering where the condensation came from since it was never outside. Long adventures short did not fix itself. Missed birthdays, Christmas, even 1rst steps! I read a few reviews and cleaned the sensor, and by golly it works again. We purchased another camera and is on standby in crate it crapps out during Christmas this year. By the way.. Best Buy wanted $150 to fix up the unit. NOT!
Synopsis lock
Had the same complication after approximately four years with the camcorder locking up in a pause mode with "synopsis, operation paused" flashing on the screen. It eventually came out of it but then it happened again and again. I tried to bath the sensor in the tape bay but this did not correct the problem. I think I'l just tip the damn thing and never buy from JVC again. It looks from all I read on the net that they don't even suggest a solution.
Too bad for a label like this
