As far as the JVC errors, don't let the boogeymen at videohelp.com fool you. There are a couple of "trolls" on that forum that will see flaws in the JVC where none exist. The old saying is true: "don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up." They have overhyped a minor issue. It's not impossible, but it's not a major recall either. A small percentage of isolated incidents.

I deal closely with about 6 people that do work much like myself, and "loading" issues have been seen only by one. He had his repaired, end of story now. His was also that combo unit, not the DR-M10. He had the MV1. Combo units always have issues, no matter who makes it, nor what it is combo'ing. My issue, as well as that of a friend, was from overuse in a short timeframe. I saw it once and never again. Any piece of equipment gets angry after a while. Even VCRs eat tapes after about 6-12 solid recording hours. I abused mine with about 24+ hours nonstop. I won't do anything that stupid again.

If you want to see some clips from various machines, let me know. I have samples from most of them. Just not all the same footage.
