And, just like it's companion camera it takes up very little room in a bag or purse, making it perfect for use when traveling or for family events.Another impressive aspect of the GZ-HD6 is the accessory shoe and mic input; these features allow you to add a light or microphone to obtain professional-quality recordings. This camera also boasts a roomy 2.8" Widescreen Clear LCD that fights glare and ghosting when recording in bright conditions, an SDHC card slot for capturing extra SP video and 1920 x 1080 stills, and a wide range of manual controls such as focus and exposure settings. Power-Linked Operation prevents wasting battery power by automatically turning the camera off when the LCD closes while the Data Battery function let's you check remaining battery power and time. These features and more are all reasons why JVC's GZ-HD6 is one impressive machine. Minimize

Strengths: Looks, capabilities, low-light gathering, Image Stabilization
Weaknesses: Proprietary video formats (TOD and MTS) and bundled crippleware which adds substantial additional and hidden cost. Very poor technical support.

Importantly, PowerProducer would not install without a CD-Key, It didn't come in the box with the camera, and JVC refuses to provide the key codes. Instead, I was referred to the software company, which wants an additional fee to activate their software. How can I truly evaluate the hardware if the software that comes with the camcorder is crippled
