JVC Everio GZ-MG21

I recently upgraded my camcorder from a sony one that took 8mm tapes to the JVC hard drive 20gb. The JVC is very compact it has the video and it also has a built in digital camera which is an added bonus the camera isnt excellent but its just as good if not better than the £80 digital cameras you can buy, the only thing the JVC didnt have which the sony did was night vision mode which i found to be a great extra on the sony, what the JVC had instead was a light at the front which can be turned on by a button on the side and to be honest its not that good, It does light the room up but the ... more

I think the worst thing about the camera is the fact that the quality isnt so good in poor lighting but the best thing is how easy it is to use and all the extra features. Storing flms on the camera is easy as you can catagorise them to find the ... more

It is helpful if you understand what a hard disc does nas this is the heart of the camera. It is well designed and compact. Not too heavy either. If you a minimum computer knowledge and want a simple easy to use, economical camera this is the one for you. Reproduction on a 42'' plasma is cinema quality, that really says it all about this camera. A wellbuilt and designed piece of kit. The software supplied takes a couple of goes to ... more

Previously I have a camcorder, it was not handy too much weight. When I see this cacorder with HDD and small as i like I get impressed and order it as soon as I have money.It is more than execllent camcorder I ever seen.

Another things is that the capture quality is much more better than other digital camcorders. Its a great value of price and also save money. In comparison of other camcorder it was cheap ... more
