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.

This camcorder offers a maximum recording time, allowing users to capture extended footage without the need for frequent tape changes. Its 20x optical zoom lens provides versatility in shooting, making it easier to get close to the action without compromising image quality.

Furthermore, this model supports a variety of recording formats, allowing for flexibility in editing and playback.

The GR-AX260, while more basic than its counterparts, remains a strong contender in the compact camcorder market. 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.
