I purchased a JVC video camera and have had nothing but problems with it. First it had a lens cap issue (Google JVC &Lens Cap) which seemed to be a design flaw. NOW my JVC video camera is saying Condensation, Operation Paused and won't do anything. I live in Colorado where humidity is not a problem and the camera has not gone through any rapid temp changes. Google this and you will find over 500+ entries in Google of people looking for answers to this problem. Leaving the camera on, JVC's suggestion, does not work. Blow drying it does not work. Any solution I have found (basically taking the entire camera apart and q-tipping all sorts of things, just fixes it for maybe a couple of hours if I am lucky but then it comes back. This is an obvious design flaw given the number of people reporting the problem but JVC only tells you to pay for a service center. Given what you heard, would you be a sucker like me and ever buy a JVC product? JVC = Just Video CRAP

JVC products are generally good, but like all manufacturers they sometimes make some bad ones too. The lens cap issue you mention was caused by a batch of bad CCD sensors which were installed in several models of JVC camcorders. Interestingly enough, these CCD's were manufactured by... Sony!

I have never seen any trouble with JVC , I have a JVC my brother bought one here in Australia and he also had one in UK. I have a friend here who also bought one. All are first class ! Only thing of note was that my lens cap was missing !.
