JVC Everio GZ-MG680 BEK HDD camcorder

Advantages: Very good size and quite easy to use at an excellent price.
Disadvantages: Pixmania inefficiency

...Overall this is an excellent product at a very good price of £301.00 delivered by Pixmania on time. However, the first hurdle to overcome is the ordering system on the Pixmania web site. This insisted on keeping in our basket a previous camcorder we had purchased from Pixmania (and was stolen) a few years ago. It took a phone call to their customer service department to sort this out - when we finally managed to find a telephone number to call. The second hurdle we have still to overcome. The camcorder should have arrived with a Micro SD card, but this was missing. Another phone call told us we should return everything in its original packaging and await a replacement. This was impractical and very inconvenient as my wife wanted to take the camcorder to Spain for a wedding, and in two weeks time to China. After a lot of persuasion...

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...

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

...card. The use of a hard drive enables up to 37 hours of recordings to be stored before any downloading, deleting or editing is needed to free up room for further recordings. As far as usability goes, the JVC GZ-MG130 is incredibly user friendly as it is lightweight, has a reinforced handstrap and is moulded to be gripped between the thumb and forefinger. All of the controls needed whilst filming are then accessed using remaining fingers while keeping a firm grip on the camera. There is absolutely no fiddling required at all and the layout has been designed with ease of use at the front of the designers minds. After a few hours of using the camcorder it comes as second nature to press the required button as and when rather than having to look and check. The left hand side of the camcorder folds out to reveal a 2.7 inch 16:9 widescreen...

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...

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...

  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

..., you?re getting my review on my baby, who I have of course called Bob. I have no idea how this review is going to go, my camera review that some of you probably read, was only supposed to be a small review and became something HUGE by the end of the day, so at this moment in time, you?re in the dark just as much as I am. The Boring Important Stuff ? 30GB HDD ? 35 x Optical Zoom ? F1.8 Konica Minolta Lens ? 640 x 480 Digital Still ? Micro SD Memory Card ? Laser Touch Operation ? Red The Fun Important Stuff The stuff that we novices actually care about: Weight & Size These two things are two of the best things about the camera, first things first; it probably weighs just a bit more than my Kodak digital camera, I have been working on a lot of different types of camcorders over the past few weeks...

Review of JVC Everio GZ-MG330R

JVC HD Camcorder

Advantages: Light, easy to use, good quality video and still, easy to transfer to/from computer
Disadvantages: Does not come with a bag

...I have bought this JVC camcorder over an year ago and I am completely satisfied with it. JVC is a good brand name and their lenses are of top quality. The company pioneered the HD camcorders.This camcorder is very light and handy and easy to use. 20GB hard disk is more than enough to store all your photos and videos taken in one vacation. This is a very user friendly device. The 4-way (up, down, left, right) menu selector switch allows you to browse through various settings (like brightness, aperture etc.).Apart from that, there are main mode selector (still or video) switches. All you need to do is to select the appropriate still/video mode and press the shutter. The LCD screen shows you what you are capturing. If you are not satisfied, you can delete it with the press of a button other wise save it in the 20GB hard disk! HD...
