Camcorder Help Please.

[DannyDisneyFreak]

In the Black Friday sale at walmart there is a JVC Compact Digital Camcorder for $198.74 - is this a good camcorder and a good deal? This is the only info I could find online for it: "JVC GRD347US Digital Mini-DV Camcorder with 28X Optical/ 800X digital zoom lens for capturing great images from any distance. 2.5" Clear LCD monitor for bright colorful viewing indoors or outdoors. One touch Auto-mode makes using this cam simple and easy." Thanks.
