Steve, I had a JVC for many years. Certainly on the plus side is the ability to play it back easily. Minuses are that tape cost per minute is higher than 8mm, image quality is worse and sound quality is worse. This is a dead end field where all advancements are being put into DV type cameras.
I eventually switched to a Hi8 camcorder and the sound quality improved dramatically. At this stage I finally moved on to DV. Looking back, I don't think I would choose VHS-C again. Sound and image quality are more important to me than playback convenience. Just my opinion.
