Multimedia, AV Geeks.com sent us in the JVC GR-D347US camcorder for a review. Read on for more and check some test footage for this cheap digital camcorder, possibly the cheapest miniDV model in the market today.

This is an OS site? Who cares about a darn camcorder? I read this site to see what is going on in the OS arena and its collateral subjects as well.

If I wanted a digital toy hardware review I would have looked lelsewhere. Maybe if they talked about the embedded OS or how it can be hacked to work with multiple operating systems it would be relevant.

I fail to see why this article his here...

No one forced you to read the review. I personally found the review very useful as I am looking to get my first camcorder and this seems like a decent choice. Since I have no idea if I will use it much starting cheap is smart. Thanks Eugenia, the test footage was particularly useful.

No one forced me to read it, that is true.

However...

1) I never said I was forced to read it. I asked what it was doing here. Stay on topic please.

2) I read it in hopes that there would be some sort of connection to an OS...maybe better Linux hardware compatability or maybe some included software that runs on OSs other than OSX or MS platforms. Those would make it much more related to a site called OSNEWS!
The general category of geek stuff fits more at slashdot or somesuch.

3) Given Eugenia's fine posts before, which I have enjoyed, by the way, this whole article seemed to be a non sequiter....

4) I dont care where the article was referenced from. There are a million geek sites and electronic sites. THis is an OS site. This isnt a shot at you, so chill out there...please...you'll avoid heart failure alot longer...

I agree, this does not even have anything to do with computers. What's next, car stereo reviews?

If you look closely, you'll find that the article is called "Review: The JVC GR-D347US Camcorder"

If you don't want to read it, don't click on it. It's that simple.

I can't believe people are really whining about this article.
