The JVC GR-DVL166 is a compact digital video camcorder that was designed for both amateurs and budding filmmakers seeking to capture high-quality footage without the complexities of more advanced systems. Released in the early 2000s, this model has a range of impressive features and characteristics that set it apart in its class.

One of the standout features of the GR-DVL166 is its ability to record in a 16:9 aspect ratio, which was a key innovation at the time.

The camcorder also boasts a 1/6-inch 680,000 pixel CCD image sensor, which delivers quality video that remains vibrant and clear, even in various lighting conditions.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the GR-DVL166 is its 20x optical zoom lens. This impressive zoom capability allows users to get up close to the action without sacrificing image quality. In addition to the optical zoom, the camcorder also supports a digital zoom feature, extending the range even further.
