Anybody like JVC video cameras?

Looking for a video camera. I was looking over some of the JVC models and they have cameras with large internal hard drives. I really like that idea.

How is the quality of the video for JVC cameras.

Also the HD versions only have 10x optical zoom and then 200x digital. The non HD versions have 35x optical. Why the difference?

I don't have much experience with any JVC cameras, but when I looked into the hard drive cameras about a year ago, the video's bitrate was much, much lower than any of the Hi8 tape base ones.

It depends on what you're using it for, but for me the higher quality for the price and the ability to swap tapes for new capacity beat out the hard drive base cameras.
