Description:

JVCs GR-D870 MiniDV Camcorder, the step-up from the D850 provides for those who love the tape format but prefer standard definition. Still image capture is the defining feature of this model, giving you 640 x 480 images stored directly to SD/MMC cards (sold separately). A 1/6" CCD image sensor produces clear, clean images each and every time you shoot. The 2.7" wide LCD screen allows you to compose with an accurate view while 35x optical zoom brings your subject up close with no loss in image quality.

An Auto Illumination light gives low-lit scenes more pop while the Dual Record mode is used to record stills and video at the same time. In addition, The Live Slow mode gives extra special moments an artistic effect. And, to make sure you never run out battery power at the worst moment again, The Data Battery lets the user know how much time is left before needing to change batteries.

Recomended Accessories for Jvc GRD870US GR-D870 1/6" CCD Image Sensor MiniDV Camcorder with 2.7" LCD and 35x Optical Zoom:

Memory Cards

Tip: Why do I need a larger memory card? Typically the manufacturer only supplies a starter card which doesn't offer comfortable capacity for a trip, special occasion etc. Don't get caught short. Special moments happen only once and you don't want to be stuck with no memory left! Usually it's good to go with a 1GB or a 2 GB card. High resolution photos take up plenty of space and before you know on a smaller memory card, you will run out of it.

Card Readers

Tip: Don't drain the camera's battery life by plugging it in straight to the computer to upload your pictures or videos. It takes forever and it's just conducive to an always ready individual's lifestyle. Cancel all the waiting and always be ready for your next shot.

Filter Kits

Tip: Filter Sets are three different filters and they are: UV Filter, Circular Polarizer Filter and a Neutral Density Filter. UV Filters absorb ultraviolet rays and gives cleaner, sharper pictures with less haze. It is recommended to leave a UV filter on your camera lens at all times to protect the lens from dust, moisture, scratches, and breakage. Though they can be replaced with other filters. Polarizing Filters are essential for outdoor photography; deepens intensity of blue skies , and reduces or eliminates glare. Neutral Density filters are used anytime you feel you are getting yellow or off white coloring while shooting indoors, mainly under flourescent lighting. Rather than getting this blemishing, it counteracts the effects of florescent light bulbs.

Video Tripods

Tip: Have you ever returned from a trip thinking you had taken some great shots? But, upon review of your prints you were disappointed to discover that some of them, especially those shot indoors or at night or in other dark places, came out blurry, looking like someone was shaking the camera when you took the picture? That is a very common problem called “Camera Shake” and every year it destroys millions of photos that could have been wonderful. “Camera Shake” is caused when there isn’t enough light for the camera to set a fast shutter speed. Your camera’s shutter opens and has to stay open for up to several seconds for enough light to hit the film to make an image. The problem: most people cannot hold a camera perfectly still for more than a small fraction of a second. The blurry image you see is caused by the camera moving while the shutter is open, and it happens to everyone. To avoid “Camera Shake” and get a clear sharp picture in low light, the camera must be attached to something so it will not move at all. That is where a tripod comes in. Mount the camera to the tripod and it will not move. Also, use the camera’s self-timer or a cable release so that you are not touching the camera when the picture is taken. Do this, and you will eliminate “Camera Shake” and get the great clear pictures you were expecting.
