Advantages: Lightweight, Easy to use, Lots of built in memory Disadvantages: None so far
I have just brought the JVC MG142E and wanted to let you all know what a great little camcorder it is!
First I should probably give you the technical stuff!!
40GB Inbuilt Hard Drive
34 x Optical Zoom
800 x Digital Zoom
2.7" Widescreen LCD Screen
Memory Card slot for SD card Includes Image Stabiliser
Night Vision
Now, I am not exactly what you call an expert in technology but I found this little machine so great to get started with, after ... ...1 1/2 hours, it is very easy to get to a point where you are recording. The first time you switch it on it starts up in Auto mode, meaning the focus, screen brightness etc is correctly selected for you.

It prompts you to enter the date/time setting using the "joystick" type controller on the LCD screen and that is it, you can start recording.
The controls are very simple ...

Advantages: Light, easy to use when filming. Disadvantages: Nightmare to copy to disc, no night vision, very costly in extra equipment required
...the software they provide at JVC is utterly useless, very complicated to find out it does not work. We were then told to buy Nero 7 at £60 which again does not really work well with these camcorders so dont be fooled into buying it. We then ended up buying a dvd recorder at £160.00 which does work but is long winded as you have to watch the whole lot to record it and cannot edit it. We have now bought a burning station at a further £60.00 so this ...

Quick review of JVC Everio GZ-MG175EK
I have no computer experience and try to avoid modern technology as I find it too hard to get my head around, but saying this, I had NO problems at all using the JVC Hybrid Camera GZ-MG175EK, given as a gift without any instruction book.
If an old bloke like me can use this camera without the instruction book, then Anyone CAN! ...
