I just paid about $7 for these cables.  Local Best Buy & Circuit City stores had the same cable selling for $25-$35.  Use with my Canon HV10 Camcorder.

I have used these in a game camera recording hundreds of images day and night, downloading them to my lap top and going back for more.

This is a great deal. I am very pleased so far. The only reason that I'm holding back from a 5 star rating is I can't factor in whether they will fail down the road. Only time will tell. Since I'm using these to transfer and then store videos and pictures from one laptop to another, speed is not a factor. Purchasing the USB 2.0, as opposed to purchasing USB 3.0 is a no brainer for what I'm using them for. When I checked the properties, they actually have closer to 15GB, not 16GB, but once again, at this great price, how can I complain. They are doing the job. I received these at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.

I bought eight of these.  These truly are great cameras, they function exactly as expected.  I was looking for cheap, simple, easy to use cameras that will communicate over a network.  They are of decent build quality and durability with pan and tilt, can communicate across Ethernet or wifi and have a decent frame rate resolution and response time.

Having bought eight of these, I noticed that they where all packed slightly differently, one of them came with a white cable, another missing its mounting hardware.  No real complaints though, as all of the cameras came intact and fully functional.

If anyone was wondering as I was, a stream can be opened manually without the included software, if you know the IP, Login info and Port, I use these with opencv, ispy is another great program that can be used with these cameras

Overall, these do everything I need them to, a simple product at a great price.

I received it yesterday and I have already used it to import 4 or 5 old home movies from my Panasonic Mini Camcorder to my Macbook Pro Laptop 2011 year model.  You just have to be careful to order the right pin sizes on each end.  The mini camcorder took the small 4 pin connection.  My particular computer took the 9 pin (800 cable) size.  This simple firewire cable worked beautifully.  I captured my videos in the iMovie program on my computer which I already had.  I have made many slideshows to music in my iPhoto program with still pictures.  Now I look forward to becoming more versed in the imovie program.  Can't wait to edit them and perfect them to how I want the final results.

If you ever need to record some VHS tapes onto your computer, and you don't want to spend over $100 on one of those fancy Elgato capture devices, well you're in luck, because this thing works perfectly, the included software works perfectly on Windows 10 and, while I can't get it to stream onto VLC, it works amazingly with OBS and probably with Xsplit (although I'm not sure why you're streaming 640x480 games in the first place). I have one complaint that was easily fixed, the LED when it's plugged in is really bright, so you might want to tape some paper onto it to diffuse the light a bit, but other than that it works perfectly. Also it may only be for me, but you can't use it as a webcam in skype, just to let you know.

Since I do freelance videographer jobs, I needed these for my Zoom recorder.  The set of XLR cables I got for my mic were either too long or too short for the distance I was from my recorder and microphone.  The cables work wonderfully with the only slight issue being that they are a tight fit for the zoom recorder and shotgun microphone I use.  I often have to use a bit of force to remove the cable from the plugs.  However, that has been the only issue I've had with these cables.  I highly recommend them if you are looking for a medium length set of XLR cables.

I am using this cable to transfer DV content from an old Sony MiniDV PC-120BT camcorder (Firewire 400 port) to an iMac 27" 2010 (Firewire 800 port) and it works flawlessly. It costs around $25 in most local stores, so it's a good saving buying at Amazon.

What can I say?  After trolling through pros and cons and tons of reviews, it came down to Panasonic, Sony and JVC.  The Panasonic received too many negative reviews on their file format, and the only Sony option was Hard Drive since the flash camcorders used the very expensive and proprietary pro-duo memory cards.  So Hard Drive camcorders it was.  The 30 GB Sony was a tad more expensive, by about $[...], than the JVC.  But it had 0 lux night vision.  Awesome!  The 30GB JVC Everio was cheaper and also had tons of great reviews.  Then I checked the used camcorders.  I picked up this 60GB version for a mere $[...] with an included JVC camera bag.  So my choice was obvious, especially when I was able to score a 60GB for cheaper than the 30GB.  It doesn't look used, only an open box item.  Plus the Seller was great and got the camera to me sooner than expected.  Awesome service from Offprice.

Here's a list of programs I use.  I convert into i-Pod, wmv and AVI for all my portable players and to send across the net.  I convert into VOB and MPEGII for all my DVD recordings.  Here's a list of all the programs I use, some free, some not.  Nero Vision Express, Super encoder, TMPEG nc plus, TMPEG nc DVD Creator, and Archos media converter.

Here's what I've done so far.  I took the thing out and started recording at the best quality.  Why not, it has 60GB of space.  I also recorded an instructional video.  After all my recording, I hooked the JVC up to the computer (external HD style), and simply drug the files directly into NERO Vision Express to create a DVD.  I also created a DVD another way, by converting the files to .VOB and using TMPEG products to have total control over my DVD creation.  Works like a charm, and quality is ok considering standard definition.  On the 42 inch LCD HDTV, it looks ok.  Not High Def, but I was only budgeting $[...], not $[...], so I wasn't expecting movie quality.  But if you hook the player directly up to the TV, the quality is much better.  So I'll tinker with it to find the best fit.
I haven't tried the direct to DVD back-up yet from the camcorder, so I'll try that next.

Now for the meat:
Pros:
It was the best deal I could find.  $[...] for a 60GB 35x optical zoom is unbeatable.  Speaking of the zoom, it gets a little fuzzy around 30x or so, but you can still make out a clear image.  The optical stabilization works great when zooming in that close.  I think the term for this type of zoom is "Stalker Zoom."  The 60GB HD will allow many hours of the best quality recording (15 hours I think), and hooking it to the computer is a snap, like any other external HD.  Working with the files is easy with the right programs, and many of them are free.  I haven't installed the JVC stuff.  Its small form factor (about the size of two packs of Marlboro 100s put together) is very compact and as the wife says, "cute."  It's very good indoors, even better outdoors, and pretty good in low light situations. It's everything I expected it to be.  I started recording as soon as I took it out of the box, so it's also very easy to use.

Cons:
The auto focus gets confused and sometimes takes a while under lowlight conditions.  I'm still trying to figure out how to use the built in LED light; it seems to have a mind of its own and turns on and off by itself if it thinks the computer screen you're shooting is too dark (for an instructional video).
It's not HD so expect standard definition quality on a large screen HDTV.  That's all I can really think of other than the extra-life battery sticks out like a sore thumb, but at least it's out of the way during operation.

Summary:
I'll get a different point of view when the wife takes it out for our daughter's field day.  As of yet, I call this the purchase of the year for me.  I got what I wanted.  Next, I'll look into HD camcorders, but that's going to be a long while from now.  This JVC will suit our needs just fine and fit our budget perfectly.  I highly recommend it.

This is a great cable. I use several of them and they all work great on the camcorders and camera's I use. They are great for putting my video's on the computer.

I have 3 of these and they are work perfectly.  These are class 4 cards which means that they are fast enough for most cameras including video.

At about $10 they are great value, you will not be disappointed.

Based on your excellent reviews I bought one, despite having a only 3 year old PentiumIII-1GHz with 384MB memory. I wasn't expecting much, but I'm able to tape AVIs at 720x480 with no compression and very few dropped frames (less than 1%).
After reading the negative impressions of the group, I never even installed NeoDVD software. I'm still learning how best to do video capture. Currently I run the captured files through VirtualDub freeware to synch sound and video and burn them to VCD with Nero6. I'd like to try captures with VirtualDub too.
Thanks All. Saved me tons of money. I was gonna buy a $300 TV tuner video card I didn't need. This little guy does everything I need for less than one-sixth the price.

Purchased from Amazon 21 October 2012:

It's been a really long time since I've had a video camera, last one I owned was one of those big old clunky VHS monsters :) . LOL

I love this camcorder. It's easy for an old timer to use once they get use to the touchscreen interface. I'm not a pro I am just a grandfather who wants to get video of his kids and grandkids.

I'm still getting use to the small size and keeping the images stable. Not like the old days when you had a shoulder pad on the camera to steady it. The lowlight capabilities are what I expected but we used lights mounted on the camera previously. Shame there isn't a place to mount a small LED type light.

The zoom is very nice, especially when you are at the back of an auditorium trying to shoot your grandkid's Christmas play.

The video and still images are amazingly clear.

CONS:

1.) Battery that comes with the camcorder is a joke :( .
2.) You may have to upgrade your Media Card Reader in order to read the higher density cards.
3.) USB Transfer Cable is too short.
4.) Power Cord could be just a bit longer for those times when you are plugged into the wall shooting.

This is a very good camcorder for you grandparents.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES:

1.) Canon BP-727 High Capacity Intelligent Battery Pack
2.) Transcend 64 GB SDXC Flash Memory Card TS64GSDXC10E

I prefer to use the USB Transfer Cable and the included software to get the video into my computer. I did buy a new Media Card Reader but like the old reader it wants to reformat my card, haven't figured out that one yet. Hate to think that I didn't get what I paid for there. The camcorder does it's own formatting of the card and I don't want to chance losing the video, so the cable transfer is the best choice for me.

Its not very often that I review things on Amazon but this thing is incredible for the price. I've tried using inexpensive stabilizers before but they just don't work with my t6i. I really enjoy the quality footage i can achieve using this. I would highly recommend this to any videographer who is looking for a cheaper alternative to a glidecam.

Here is my video review of the stabilizer:[...]

I got these because I started transferring all my old VHS's over to DVD. These work great. I've never had a problem with Sony products and will continue to buy them.

This camcorder works perfectly for me.  The 60fps is very good.  However, if your hands are pretty steady the 30fps isn't bad either.  Quick note, the image stabilization only applies to 720p 60fps and wvga 60fps.  Low lighting isn't half bad.  There is a night mode option that does help a bit but to be honest, I didn't purchase this cam to do low light situations.  Still images are really nice once you get the hang of taking them.  The 1080p resolution is at 1440x1080.  This is actually at 1.33 which is full frame, but the pixels aren't square.  If you have K-Lite Codec Pack, you should have something called XVid MP4 which can export this as a widescreen avi file.  You'll have to play around with the settings on it to get it just right though.  Didn't have any trouble doing this with AVS Video Editor 4.  The other video resolutions shouldn't give you any trouble.  And mind you, it has nothing to do with the camcorder itself.  Codecs aren't truly specifically designed for 1080p so you have to work around it.  Format for vids is .mov  The software I got with it was ArcSoft.  If nothing else, take advantage of the Digital Theatre that comes with that package.  It's awesome for viewing the .MOV files as well as any dvd you own.  Plus it lets you take still pictures from whatever video is playing.  Make no mistake, the HD on this baby is nice.  I would suggest testing it out on an actual HD screen though before you start bashing it.  I was hanging with one of my old buddies and he thought it was garbage until we looked at the vids on the computer.  An LCD is never a good indicator of how the full video looks.  That's not even an lcd's purpose.  It's so you can see what you're shooting in the first place.  And he claimed to be so HD savvy!  Ha!

I seriously would recommend this camcorder for anyone that plans to do a lot of daytime shooting.  I'd even recommend it for Youtube vids although honestly if all you're doing is shooting for Youtube ONLY, you could actually go after a flip that records in hd.  Plan to become a videography hobbyist like myself?  Go after the Aiptek.

One more thing.  This camcorder has an external mic jack.  This was the deal maker for me to be honest.  I plan to be pretty busy this fall recording marching bands ever saturday and an external mic is a godsend for this price range.  It works very very well and that's after numerous tests at different volume ranges.  Using the internal mic only?  It has nice frequency response and is in stereo.  It's located on the lcd flap so no internal motor noise is picked up.  Hope this helped you guys.
