JVC GR-D750 MiniDV Camcorder

ompact MiniDV camcorder from around 2006 with a massive 34x optical zoom - big reach in a small, entry-level package.

Key specs:

• MiniDV tape recording
• 1/6" 680K-pixel CCD sensor
• 34x optical zoom (800x digital), f/2.0 aspherical lens
• 2.7-inch widescreen LCD
• NightAlive low-light mode + auto illumination light
• Electronic image stabilization
• FireWire (i.LINK / IEEE 1394) for footage transfer

The GR-D750 packs a genuinely huge 34x optical zoom - one of the biggest in its class at the time - so you can pull in distant subjects with ease, with electronic stabilisation to steady things at full reach. The bright f/2.0 lens plus NightAlive mode help it hold up in low light, and the wide 2.7-inch LCD makes framing and playback easy.
