I bought JVC GZ MG575 for my trip to Germany & Italy, as a replacement to my old & bulky Sony Handycam which still using 8 mm film.
From the result, I fount that this JVC produce good color for both video & still picture compare to Sony, but not too good at night time shooting & picture, due to slow lens (apperture 3.5).
Not advisable for night shot picture as its slowest shutter speed is just 0.5 sec, so I have to use my Olympus Mju 810 camera to take the night shot.
I have transfer the movie to DVD using the software came with the camera and the result is quite good, compare to the original, the DVD result is having the same quality. This is much better compare to the film based video camera, which will loose some quality when you transfer the movie to DVD.
For standard printing (postcard size),the daylight picture taken by this video camera is good and comparable to my Olympus Mju 810 camera, but have not tried for a bigger printout.
In conclusion, this is a good video camera, but aware of its limitation for night shooting.
