Question by CORiverRat: Would you ever buy a JVC Product?
I purchased a JVC video camera and have had nothing but problems with it. First it had a lens cap issue (Google JVC &Lens Cap) which seemed to be a design flaw. NOW my JVC video camera is saying Condensation, Operation Paused and won’t do anything. I live in Colorado where humidity is not a problem and the camera has not gone through any rapid temp changes. Google this and you will find over 500+ entries in Google of people looking for answers to this problem. Leaving the camera on, JVC’s suggestion, does not work. Blow drying it does not work. Any solution I have found (basically taking the entire camera apart and q-tipping all sorts of things, just fixes it for maybe a couple of hours if I am lucky but then it comes back. This is an obvious design flaw given the number of people reporting the problem but JVC only tells you to pay for a service center. Given what you heard, would you be a sucker like me and ever buy a JVC product? JVC = Just Video CRAP

I would never buy a JVC product. I’ve heard many similar stories to yours…sorry to hear it.
Give your answer to this question below!
I have never seen any trouble with JVC , I have a JVC my brother bought one here in Australia and he also had one in UK. I have a friend here who also bought one. All are first class ! Only thing of note was that my lens cap was missing !.
JVC products are generally good, but like all manufacturers they sometimes make some bad ones too. The lens cap issue you mention was caused by a batch of bad CCD sensors which were installed in several models of JVC camcorders. Interestingly enough, these CCD’s were manufactured by… Sony!
