It seems everyone has a video camera, a still camera and a portable media player, sometimes tow or more of all of the above, wouldn’t it be nice to have a decent, inexpensive product that that does it all for you?
Today for review I’ve got the Jazz Elite HD Video camera and not only does it film videos in HD, but it’s also a fully featured multimedia player as well so you can take videos, take stills, listen to music and even watch movies on it. In my time with it I’ve used it quite a bit, I’ve found it’s easy to use, takes good videos and it has a great battery life. Did I mention it’s inexpensive? So read on to check out the Jazz Elite HD Video camera from Geeks.com…
The Jazz Elite comes packaged in a sealed plastic clamshell style package that of course you must cut open to access the contents. You can see the camera plainly through the front, and there are specs and features listed on both front and back. (I didn’t include a picture of the back as there was a large inventory label obscuring the view).
Once you get the package open, you’ll find loads of stuff in there including the camera itself, battery, software/driver disc, user manual, HDMI cable, composite AV cable, power adapter, carrying case, wrist strap and even a set of headphones.
The Jazz Elite camera is actually fairly small, about 4 inches by 1 inch by 2 inches in dimensions. On the front side you can see the Jazz and HDMI logos, above that is the speaker.
On the back, or bottom is the battery cover and a small slider switch for changing to Macro from landscape or long distance.
The back of the camera is where you’ll find all of the function buttons needed to do most of the operations with the camera, and the USB and TV out connections as well. Most of the buttons have two functions depending on what mode you are in.
On the top of the camera you’ll find the microphone and power button, but the camera does also turn on and off when you open the display. On the front of course you’ll find the lens, below that is a little white box which is actually an LED that acts as a flash or assist light, and all the way down is the access for the HDMI port. On the bottom is just a hole for a tripod.
The screen can be placed in several positions depending on how you want to us the Jazz Elite, it can also rotate all the way around so you can film yourself.
You can use a standard SD card to expand the memory, it gets inserted on the bottom under the battery cover so you’ve got to remove the cover to access the memory card. Kind of a pain, but you can also use the included cable to transfer the contents of the camera if need be.

Using the Jazz Elite is very easy and actually fun, the instructions are easy to follow.
When you’re using the camera there’s few things on screen to let you know the status. In the top left corner is the amount of pictures you can take, the top right corner has the time to record video and the resolution. The right side has a sliding bar that tells you the focus or zoom, under that is the battery indicator, memory card indicator and whether you are in macro more of not.
Pushing the slider button in opens up the menu, I’m not going to list all of the options as there are quite a few of them, you can click the pictures to see them.
Switching to the media player mode turns the Jazz Elite into a portable media player that can play music and movies, or look at pictures and listen to notes.
Included with the camera is Arcsoft Media Impressions and Media Convertor, two very useful programs for manipulating videos and pictures and converting video to other formats easily.
Back to using the camera, the still pictures are ok, it’s not a high end camera but for what it is they look very good. The videos are a bit grainy but still decent for such a low priced camera that is much more than that.
I’m not including videos in this review for you, but I do have 10 videos that I shot using the Jazz Elite over on the TestFreaks Viddler account. You can check them out at your leisure HERE. They all were shot in either 1280×720 or 720×280 resolutions. The HD makes it more of a wide screen with black lines on top and bottom, so I don’t prefer that so most were shot in the 720 resolution or D1 on the camera.
I did find one small design flaw, the flash or assist light is in a bad place really, every time I wrapped my fingers around the a camera my index finger covered it up. I had to keep reminding myself not to do it, but after using it several times I became accustomed as to how I had to hold the camera correctly.
Also, I don’t really care for having the SD card located under the battery cover, using the cable is fine, but you get a faster transfer rate with a card reader so I prefer to transfer them directly from the card, and having to remove the cover is a hassle. Other people might not care, but I’m taking a lot of videos, and to me it’s a pain…
The battery life of the Jazz Elite is very good, I charged it once when I got it and haven’t charged it yet, I’ve shot at least an hours worth of video for reviews and quite a bit more just playing around.
The screen for watching movies is decent enough, of course it’s only 3", but movies look pretty good on it overall. It makes a nice little media player really.
Conclusion:
The Jazz Elite seems to be one of the nicer and feature packed Digital Camcorders out there on the market today.
The Jazz Elite is very easy to use and honestly it’s a lot of fun, I enjoy using it and will be using it for some time to come. I plan on using this camera for all of our reviews so it’s going to be getting quite a workout, and it already has really.
The battery life is great, I’ve shot quite a bit of footage, at least an hours worth and the battery indicator has just finally dropped down by one.
The Jazz Elite is inexpensive considering everything that it can do besides record videos and take pictures, you can have a nice little portable media player that just happen to take movies and pictures!
Pros:
-Very good battery life
-Easy to use
-Decent quality movies
-Feels well made
-Good sounding as PMP
-Inexpensive
-Lots of extras included
Cons:
-Bad placing of flash/light assist
-Must remove cover to access memory card

Can’t get Jazz video to play on any player, Windows Medai, Quicktime. All I get is sound and no video. What codec is this video camera using. It says AVI, but not sure that is true.
Hi Kristofer Brozio:
I visited your Viddler site and checked out quite a few videos, but it is not clear to me which might have been shot with the Jazz. Can you mention the products names/dates?
Thank you,
kwc
It’s like the oldest ones.. LiteOn, Wicked Lasers, and NZXT Avatar and HeadPlay
I would like to see the videos you made with the Jazz camcorder and like someone else asked, which videos were shot with that camera?
THANK YOU

Where can I purchase a replacement battery charger for my HDV188?
Thank you.
Hi – does this camera (and the Jazz 720 that sells for $99 work with Mac computers? And by works I mean you plug it in, it recognizes it and immediately does what it’s supposed to do.
I’m trying to decide which pocketsized camera to buy; I want simple and small!
thanks, Laurie
Hi, does anybody know the exact weigh of this camera? i know the 178 is just about 6 oz but i can not find the exact weigh anywhere. i am into rc helicopters and planes and this small camera would do the job but i need to make sure it is light enough to have the remote control plane or helicopter lift it with no issues, thanks.
Just a quick question…my pictures, both stills and video come out with a blueish color when I do shots of snowy landscapes. This only happens when I shoot snow scenes…the camera works fine otherwise. I know a little about photography.. maybe the snow scenes are ‘tricking’ the sensors?…is there a different setting I could use for this? Other than that this the HDV 178 works like a charm.
I also am need of a owners manual. Bought my Jazz HDV188 used. Could you email me a copy??
I bought mine just a week ago but it only came the a basic guide…is there anyway to get a full manual??
Thanks
I also need a copy of the owners manual for the Jazz HDV188. Thanks
hi, here’s a link to get the manual. Just copy and paste in you’re adresse bar browser
http://qcjnimages.googlepages.com/manuale.pdf
I’M on linux Ubuntu, i didn’t install the h264 codec, but it works anyway. Do you think that can affect on the quality ? or do i have it and don’t know ? And does HD format only works on a hd tv, cause it’s pretty bad on the computer ? And as for the mp3, does it take a specific format, or can i have a permission problem, cause there are some mp3 file that the jazz didn’T see, althought it was there ?
Thanks !

I have the camera and can’t figure out how to download on to pc, I plug it into the usb port and into the camera but it still doesn’t work. I do not have the software to download or a owner’s manuel SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
WTF…when i play my videos my player says they are many hours long yet they are only a fey minutes….?
I need the manual and driver can you please help me. There are pages that say you can charge it using the usb cable how do i get it to work See we had i fire and the cam was in the car every thing else was destroyed please help thanx and merry christmas
Do you know what you need to do to record sound with the video? I was trying it the first time and noted there was no sound? Seems a pain if you have to do extra steps to get sound instead of it recording both automatically. The manual isn’t overly helpful.
Thanks.

Got the JazzHDV188 camera recently sent over from America & am having problems with it! Cannot get any sound playback with video can you help? Cannot really take it back to Walmart for a repacement as I live in Scotland!!
When you do the playback in the video camera itself do you have sounds? Or does this just only happen when you play it back in your computer? If its only doing it in your computer then its just only a codec problem that you just have to download. If the playback inside the camera has no sound then go to settings and turn on the sound option.
As Bruce asked, how can you get this to record video and sound at the same time?
Thanks.
Hi. I bought the Jazz HDV188 camera about 6 weeks ago. Due to an unforeseen situation, I have misplaced the charger for the camera. Will the usb cable charge the camera? The battery is so dead that the camera will not even turn on even with the usb cable plugged in.
I bought the extended warranty, but due to some flooding in our home, have also misplaced that paperwork as well. Does anyone have contact info for Jazz products?
Also, can I purchase another charger separately?
Thanks for any and all help anyone give me.
FYI,
Best Buy sells a re-branded Jazz 178 & 188 under their Insignia brand. They have the manuals listed on the Insignia Support site @ http://www.insignia-products.com/c-52-digital-camcorders.aspx
My camera broke easily… The part that flips out is really delicate and it broke so i went and bought a Kodak 716 camera.. You all should go buy this instead!
Hi, got a Jazz for Christmas and am having trouble zooming in/out when recording. I am pretty sure I did when I was just playing around with it in the beginning, but don’t know if I changed a setting somehow and need to change back so that I can zoom when recording, please help?
I’m using a Mac and am having trouble using the AVI files from the camera. There’s sound but the video is black. I want to use Imovie to edit, does anyone have any ideas what I need to do? Thanks in advance.
Can I get rid off sound when opening screen? For weddings in church etc it’s annoying.
Can i record something from my tv right to my camera?
For example i want to record a video from my ps3 right to my camera instead of positioning the camera in front of the tv then recording.
Is there anyway to do this?
I’m having the same problem as Cliff (3/1/09). The disk that came with the camera seems to be for PC only. Thanks to anyone that can help us.

got my jazz elite hdv188 camcorder 2 days ago for my birthday.i was watching a video and it stucks and shut off now it wont come on
i recently purchased a jazz hdv178 but the unit did not come with a operators manual, or any software. i would like to be able to put music on the device but i dont know how. can anyone help? thanks!
Thanks FOUND, you’ve finally saved my day and well half the known universe’s. Kudos to you Sir.
For puttin music on it, just plug in the usb, then on your PC go to “MY Computer” in there you should see a “Removable Device”. That’s most likely your cam. Now once in there you go to the MP3 FOLDER, if it’s not there Make one and put your music in there. ALL will be fine after that. I figure someone helped me so I should help back. Check me out at Youtube: thatpspguy
The DCIM folder is for PICS, Videos and voice recordings. ( which are done when you have video or pic selected. go to the menu and select voice, that will bring you to the start recording screen.
Cheers.

Thanks for any help.
My camera is brand new,but rite when i took it home it wouldn’t turn on. So i charged it. The light stayed red which is supposed to mean its charged. I took the battery out while its plugged into the charger and it turns onto the main screen that turns off but u can tell the screens on because the screen is lighter than it was while it was off. Can anyone email me with wats wrong with it: lil_bunnii_fufu@yahoo.com
when i bought this camera i opened the box and tried to install the disk to my mac and i knew it wouldn’t work. so none of my videos that i have uploaded will show any picture it’s just sound. if any body knows of a patch or something that i can download email me at forsh152@gmail.com
HI. I JUST GOT THE JAZZ, BUT IT DIDNT COME WITH A POWER ADAPTER. DO YOU NOW WERE I COULD BUY ONE AT?
If anyone knows of a place where the drivers for the JAZZ 178 could be found, that would be super. I also like to know if webcam drivers exist for this camera. BTW the url listed for webcam drivers leads to a file that does NOT put drivers on your machinbe but DOES put all kinds of other garbage on it. My virus program freaked out!
I like this camera. The way the camera is designed just makes it even better, along with the functions I really like this camera. Everyone’s asking me to sell it to them, (l.o.l) I won’t do it. The camera is a must have, it’s really versatile, an absolute trill ride of a camera. Get one. It’s in F*%&ing HD for crying out loud, America.
When taking video, it cannot be paused; it can stop an re-start a new movie, but cannot pause and continue with the same movie. Has anybody else have this problem or is this an issue to you at all? Thanks!
How can I get a power cord for this product?
Thanks for the manual download, I was able to locate the drivers to download so I can use this on Skype now, but I cannot find a movie editor. Windows movie maker plays audio black screen, corel videostudio wont even import the files, Magix Movie editor does the samething as windows one except its a green screen. I love this camera but I cannot edit any of my movies unless the CD has an editor on it which I do not have since I bought this used. Can anyone help please email me wolffman@gmail.com
On sale this week at Big Lots for only $30 ~ gonna get one today!!
Has anyone figured out the problem about playback on windows just having sound but no picture?
For those with Mac computers, the AVI format that this camera uses is not compatible with Mac and as far as I have been able to find out, there is nothing that can be done about it.
You can use a program called VLC (free download) to view the files on your system, but you can’t do any editing of these files. You can save the files to disk and view them but that’s all.
I do a lot of editing for other people and these kind of cameras have been causing me a load of grief since they came out. I advise against them at all costs due to their incompatibility for cross platform use.
Someone gave me a used Jazz HD178 camera but did not have the manual. I have not been successful in finding one. Does anyone have a website or know where I might obtain a manual for the HD178? Thanks.
Hello , i lost my A\C adapter can anybody tell me were i can get one @ please, thanks jess
