JVC GR-SX960U Super VHS Palm Sized Camcorder

The JVC GR-SX960U offers the convenience of VHS-C in a sleek, lightweight design. It is equipped with a color eye-viewfinder for more realistic visuals while shooting. The digital image stabilizer gets rid of annoying picture shakes. You and your viewers will appreciate this feature during playback, because it helps make your recording easier to watch. The special low-light function enhances picture quality when you're shooting in a dimly lit environment. It also offers a 16x optical and 400x digital zoom. This is ideal for catching action at sporting events or just at home in your backyard. The zoom is a variable-speed zoom triggered by finger pressure with numeric zoom-ratio readout in the viewfinder/monitor.

The camcorder is capable of three recording modes. S-VHS recording offers 60 percent better resolution than regular VHS. S-VHS ET allows you to record with that same high-resolution using any VHS-C tape. For full compatibility with any VHS video player you can record in standard VHS mode. VHS-C format tapes are simply smaller-sized VHS tapes. You can play your VHS tapes in any VCR with the included cassette adapter.

For editing features, the GR-SX960U offers digital wipes and fades, as well as a black fader and a quick review and retake function. There are 46 different combinations you can play with for digital special effects, wipes, and fades. The title generator features eight preset messages in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. The accessories include a shoulder strap, compact VHS cassette playback adapter, and battery recharger.
