I have an Optura 20 and I like it, obviously in low light it is not too solid. In the first month I had it, something inside broke and nothing would work on it, but they fixed it in a week. Also, I had to get a head cleaning tape, the damn video heads need to be cleaned every week.
But that's just my 2 cents on the Canon, can't help on the JVC, but I've heard that Canons are a bit better.
