Before I make a purchase, I wanted to see what you alls thoughts were on a MiniDV VCR oppose to a MiniDV Deck. I was looking at a few that were combos with MiniDV and S-VHS in one unit. I don't really need the VHS side but if someone needed something to be on VHS I could do that. I am also looking at the Sony GVD1000 portable deck as well which I am probably going to go with. Just wanted to see if anyone was using one of those MiniDV vcr set ups.

Well, if you're looking at the JVC... look again.

There are considerable warnings as to how poor a performer the JVC dual deck is.

That's exaggerated . . . it's not a full-blown pro deck, but I've used it for a year with no problems. The SR-VS30U, anyway. I've seen that there have been problems with the consumer version and with older models (VS10U), but so far, no complaints.
 
Re: MiniDV VCR

i used to sell many of the jvc srvs-30u and the panasonic ag-dv1000 and can tell you they are a hit or a miss! we got a good amount of these decks back for repair or return. personally, i would not purchase any of these unless it came w/ a good return policy so you can test it out. like i said, it either works or it doesn't. i'd go w/ one of the sony gv-d's or a consumer camera if you're not looking for a dsr-11 or ag-dv2500.

I believe I've read negative comments on that deck from DVXuser.com members.

I believe Kai said his was collecting dust and that he had problems with it.

Kai, could you comment?
