JVC's GR-D650 BabyMovie miniDV camcorder

JVC just dropped their new GR-D650 BabyMovie miniDV camcorder. No surprise then, to find these targeting both new parents and pastel craving device junkies alike (you know who you are). The cam features a 1.33 megapixel CCD, 16:9 aspect recording, a 2.5-inch LCD, and F1.2 lense with 15x optical zoom. And that 1 lux sensitivity coupled with a built-in LED light are perfect for those late-night, panicky new-parent trips to the crib to check if your little babe is still animate. Expected in May in “clear silver” and of course pink and blue to complete your child’s gender uniform.

I haven't seen JVC label a product "Victor" before ... is this new?

(I know it stands for Japanese Victor Company)

Is it just me, or do those look almost exactly like the Canon ZR-series miniDV cameras?

Victor is the "V" in JVC. it may be for a paticular market only.

#1: They have done this for years. the proper name is Victor Company of Japan., owned by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., {Panasonic} the letters are re-orgazined as JVC for international markets only.

Along with using only the "Victor" name, the brand's logo is the old RCA phonograph and the Dog mascot, Nipper looking inside the device. They have and exclusive license from General Electric to be used only in the territory of Japan.

#4 This site is written in English. If you are going to get onto someone for bad French then make sure your English is correct. " It is writting 15X on it!" Maybe try saying "It has 15X written on it!" instead. Not to mention it is writing not writting.
