Launched during the 1990s, this model has become a classic among enthusiasts of compact camcorders, appreciated for both its innovative features and its portability.

The GR-AX820 is equipped with a 20x optical zoom lens, providing users with the flexibility to capture close-up shots without sacrificing image quality. Additionally, a digital zoom feature allows for even greater magnification, though it is generally recommended to rely on optical zoom for maintaining clarity. The lens is complemented by an autofocus system that ensures subjects are in sharp focus, making it an ideal choice for both amateur and more experienced videographers.
