Somehow my JVC Everio got a cracked screen. Is there a warranty?

Q. Somehow my JVC Everio's screen cracked. It still works fin. I got it for Christmas in 2011. Does anyone know is there is a warranty on this camcorder. I do not have to money to buy a new one, or am I planning to buy a new one. I really need this fixed fast because I use this camcorder for many different things.


Answer
Contact JVC and see what is up. At least they point you where to repair it, maybe not under warranty, but fix it anyway.

VHS-C vs. flash memory camcorders?







I still use a JVC GX-AX200 VHS-c camcorder from 1995 with the Random Assemble feature. I've wondered about updating, but all the new digital camcorders I've seen tend to produce grainy pictures, where my old one has a beautiful picture. Other than the sheer size of it, it works fine, but it just seems to obsolete (not having an external screen and having physical zoom). Should I update to a digital format or continue to convert my videos from tape to my computer?


Answer
I originally wasn't going to spend so much on a new camcorder. I had bought the Canon HF 100 a few years ago, and was fairly happy with it. It was nice, but definitely had its drawbacks. So, I started researching Canon's new line for 2011 and was torn between the M40 and G10. Having the new CMOS Pro sensor was a must. Everything I read about the low light capabilities sold me. Basically Canon went with a smaller pixel count (exactly 1920 x 1080), which in turn makes the pixels larger and better in low light shooting. I originally bought the M40 and was very happy with it, but started to realize it wasn't fitting all my needs. That went back, and I went with the G10. I have not looked back since!
