JVC Everio GZ-MS100

Advantages: Cheap, reasonable video quality, easy to use
Disadvantages: Far too youtube orientated.

...) walking YouTube advert'. Function The camcorder is child's play to use, nothing overly complication in terms of menus etc. It shoots reasonably good quality videos, though ones that are perhaps more aimed at the photographer who aims to post his videos on YouTube, which I am certainly not. When I want to endure the humiliation of having my life exposed to millions of viewers, I'll go on a reality TV show or something. It has a reasonable amount of memory, or at least I haven't managed to fill it yet, but I haven't been using it that much (just testing it before I leave). It is very easy to upload videos from this to your computer and, I assume, also very easy to put them on YouTube. Overall An average camera at a very low price which shoots reasonable video. The only problem being that it is perhaps too aimed...

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 GZMG21EK Camcorder.

Advantages: Small, easy to use, uses a hard drive so no tape or disc changes
Disadvantages: Supplied battery life, difficult to keep steady on high zoom

...I was looking for a camcorder to use primarily for holidays and family moments. I have bought this camcorder for that use only. when you buy the JVC Everio GZMG21EK you get the following items:- The camcorder itself, A battery and charger, a lens cap, Shoulder strap, instructions & guarantees, AV cables, a USB cable, a remote control (with battery) and a disc of software. ( I bought mine over the internet so couldnt haggle in the shop) The camcorder is silver in colour and i cant believe how small it actually is. It fits perfectly into my hand and is not heavy at all. The camcorder uses a 20 gb hardrive as the recording medium rather than the tapes or discs alot of the other types do. So one big advantage is not having to go out and buy a load of tapes or discs to record on. You can record up to 25hrs of recording...

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...

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

A good choice of memory card

Advantages: Easy to use and stores lots of photos
Disadvantages: Can be expensive if you don'tshop around

...As many of you probably know I suddenly had to buy a couple of USB flash drives to save my pictures on due to my laptop 'playing up'. Not only that, there was also another reason why it was important for me to get this extra storage space so soon especially after my friend telling me how important it was to have them stored somewhere other than just my laptop This is because I have recently bought a new camera for our forthcoming trip to Florida early next year which I wanted to have a little early so that I could also take it on my upcoming work trip to Paris. With the new camera I needed to purchase a few bits to go with it including a gorgeous pink case and more importantly a new memory card and card reader. After researching which memory card would be suitable to match my camera I decided on this one - the Fuji 2GB XD TYPE M. What...

Review of SanDisk V-Mate Video Memory Card Recorder - Digital AV recorder

Credit card-sized storage for memory and sim cards

Advantages: Lightweight, slim, beautiful design, great value for money
Disadvantages: possibly bend cards if stored for long periods of time (untested)

...I previously carried a small USB key on my keyring as my portable memory solution. But I found that more and more, I was having to transfer information from either a PDA or digital camera, and a USB key just didn't work for this. So I found the solution in the SanDisk SD Plus memory card - it is the size of a normal SD memory card, but also folds in half to reveal a USB adapter which can be plugged into any USB port. Brilliant solution, except that they aren't very sturdy. I was worried about the card breaking in my wallet, so I needed something to protect it. This is where the Aluminium Memory Card Holder from Proporta comes in. It is the same length and width as a standard credit card (85mm x 54mm), and is only 4mm thick (about as thick as 3 credit cards sitting on top of each other). It is very light as well, weighing in...
