"I want to like it, but I don't"
What I like:
Great handling and light to carry. For tripod work its great.
What I don't like:
Hand held and moving shots are useless. OIS does not work.
Review:
The review provided by the cnet team is fairly accurate. Having filmed 6 hours of HDD not much is useable as it was shot from boats, buses, trains and planes whilst on holiday.
The bundled software is the worst software bundle I have ever seen it is inadequate in the extreme. They even have the temerity to ask you to spend more to upgrade the software to a full package, why? would a full package of rubbish be better than a half pack?. This camera is to be avoided til JVC show they value theior customers and fix the problems.

Weak performance and lacklustre video quality make it hard to recommend this camcorder
Samsung SMX-F34
Has plenty of features for a budget camcorder, but its video quality isn't particularly impressive
