These models are distinguished not just by their sleek design, but also by their impressive array of features and technologies that cater to both amateur and semi-professional videographers.

It is designed with user-friendliness in mind, incorporating many automatic settings that make it accessible for novice users. Despite its simplicity, the GR-AX260 features a robust zoom capability and delivers solid image quality for everyday recording needs.

All three models utilize JVC's renowned VHS-C format, which contributes to their compatibility with standard VCRs.
