Review of JVC Everio GZ-MG575

JVC Everio GZ MG30

Advantages: Hard disc recording - no tapes
Disadvantages: low battery time

...I was sceptical - read lots of reviews that were non commital about the quality of the camera. Never having had a digital camcorder before, I did a huge amount of background research and that just left me not wanting anything with tapes or DVDs that need changing, editing or run out at the innoportune moments! So, I got onto ebay and got myself (for 250 GBP!!!!) from the US, a brand new Everio. After paying import duty (caveat emptor) I got it and most impressive it is too Small is the first thing that you notice - small, but it fits my hand perfectly, and my wife's hand too (and she has little hands). It feels like a good extension of your arm and is not at all heavy, even after some extensive use. Ease of USE - without reading a manual at all (what a man!) I managed to figure out the way to record and then to review what I...

JVC Everio GZ-MC200

Advantages: No tapes, and it's TINY !
Disadvantages: "Only" one hour on an expensive 4GB microdrive...

...At last, a review from me of something you can actually buy new ! The JVC Everio GZ-MC200 records your digital video footage on a 4 GB microdrive, a mini removable hard disk instead of a tape. Take good care of this microdrive - it's a mini hard disk - as replacements are quite expensive. The 4 GB microdrive will let you shoot about one hour of video in MPEG-2 compression at a resolution of 720x576 pixels and a data rate of 8.5 MB/sec (in Ultra Fine mode), more if you turn the quality down. In addition, the Everio has a 2.12 megapixel CCD sensor (0.28 inches) that can produce still photographs at four different resolutions, with the maximum resolution 1600x1200 pixels. This resolution produces more good quality photos when printed at 4"x6". You can fit 4,500 two-megapixel still images or five hours of audio recording...

Review of JVC Everio GZ-MG680

Just Very Cool GZ-MG130

Advantages: excellent picture recording, easy to use, durable, exceptional sound pickup
Disadvantages: the LCD screen can be difficult to see in bright conditions

...Recording those special moments in life have never been easier for me since I bought the JVC GZ-MG130 for £300 (well, £299.99 incl delivery) prior to Christmas. Deciding which camcorder to buy was something of a minefield with so many different models, brands and additional features to take in consideration. A quick comparison between a few of the lower end models drew me away from my a budget purchase and towards the JVC GZ-MG130. The main selling point was not the range of features, it was just because my trusty JVC stereo of 14 years is still going strong, still looks the part in my lounge and has never needed the slightest bit of attention by an engineer. The JVC GZ-MG130 is a digital camcorder which means that it is visibly smaller than many other models as it records to a 30 GB hard disk drive rather than a tape, DVD or memory...

JVC MG142E - What a cracker

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 charging the battery for the first time, which takes about 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. You can easily switch to manual mode but I have not been brave enough yet!! It prompts you to enter the date/time setting...

Review of JVC Everio GZ-MG175EK

  Damn, I Shoulda Brought A Laptop

Advantages: Great looking camera, amazing zoom, amazing footage
Disadvantages: No instruction manuel, very expensive and maybe not worth the money

...of someone who doesn?t know too much about camcorders so sorry there isn?t much on the techy side of things because seriously I would have had no idea. I think the JVC Everio is a great little camcorder and I think that if you want a basic camcorder then the Everio is for you. If you are looking for a camcorder which is light, compact but still does a good job then this camera is most definitely for you, but the price is what scared me off a little and still does, because I really don?t need the camera at the moment and I really wish I had spent the money on something more productive. However I have another filming session on Monday, and I will be taking my lovely camcorder with me to see what footage I can get out of it, and see if it?s better than the crappy one that my teachers been boasting about. Overall if you have the cash spare...

JVC GZ-MG70 Hard Disk Camcorder

Advantages: Very easy to use
Disadvantages: none

...effects of surround sound when you watch them back on your system at home. The models lower down the range have lesser quality lens and are not as good value for money. Since you dont need media ie DVD's or tapes this camcorder very good value for money. The GZ-MG70 has a 30GB hard disk which can record for over 7 hours of ultra fine DVD quality, which is near broadcast quality. Or 14 hours of normal quality. It can also be used as a web cam with up to 37.5 hours max recording time. The battery life is comparable with other camcorders, I havent yet run it non stop from full charge to empty in a single go yet. But my brother borrowed it and said it was about the same as his Samsung one. If you cant affrod the JVC GZ-MG70 go for the JVC GZ-MG60 they are the same expept for the recording time, the JVC GZ-MG60 only has a 20GB hard drive wich...

Review of JVC Everio GZ-MG70

Great lightweight camcorder, ideal for home movies

Advantages: Light weight, easy-to-use interface, low price, good picture quality
Disadvantages: Short battery life, not very compatible with Mac, bundled software is substandard

...of the proprietary MPEG-2 format. * It's around 300g (about 11 ounces) so is very lightweight. * USB 2.0 slot for transferring files to your computer. * Touch screen menu navigation. My experience I was attracted to the JVC GZ-MG330 camcorder because I use a Mac and it was supposedly compatible with my Operating System. The price was quite low in comparison to other camcorders, and it received generally good reviews. Unfortunately, my own experience hasn't been fantastic - I've had a number of compatibility issues on the Macintosh, which seriously downgraded picture quality. I discovered that at least part of the problem was related to video interlacing - the video had to be de-interlaced when converted from .MOD to another format to prevent horizontal lines appearing. If you are using a Mac, I recommend you look for another camcorder. Video...
