I bought this to use with a remote camera lens. It has the AV socket which is needed to plug another camera into it and record.
The new models don't have this function so a second hand option was my only choice.
This camera works very well and is easy to use. It makes a sound when you press any of the buttons and switches to confirm that you have selected an option. I thought this would be a pain at first but I have now grown to like this.
The on screen display is simple and again easy to use.
The manual was missing but I downloaded a new one from the JVC web site.
