Pros: Hard Drive, Design, Features Cons: Out of the box battery only 1hr. Manual settings better for Indoor/low light conditions This is a great product. I love the design, size, hard drive (no tapes!), 32X optical zoom, added convenience of an SD card,
Pros: Easy use,very lite Cons: computer software a little quirky I have had this camera for about a month, very easy to use and very lite. All of the extra stuff this camera does is awesome. The only problem I had was it took a few times for my computer
Strengths: easy to use,compact,easy instructions,works great....thanksjvc Weaknesses: low light shooting is dark but can be fixed if you read the manual Summary: MY first camcorder...went for the hard drive and glad i did.Films great,sound could be a litt
Strengths: Weighs almost nothing. Instantly go to an available recording spot. No tapes. Weaknesses: So light it can be knocked over by the AC cord, USB or almost anything. Small for big hands. Sreen has to be open/ turned out to record. Summary: No tapes
We purchased this camcorder because we have our first child on the way and it has far exceeded our expectations to date. First off, it is incredibly small and easy to carry and hold. The hard disk recording media is the way to go for us and eliminates the
I got this camera as a graduation gift, yet i had to pitch in 200 of my own, which was completely fine for me..I use this very often, and my band does touring and I record everything that goes on, and make videos out of the clips.The hard disk drive is ve
This is my first digital camera ever, and I've got to say I could not think of anything better. The idea of not having to buy tapes or disks to record on was one of my main reasons for purchasing it. Think of it this way: 3 digital tapes usually cost
I moved up from a MiniDV camcorder to this one because of the hard-drive recording. It was a *great* purchasing decision. My personal favorite features:- Plug it into your computer, drag and drop the clips to your computer, rename them from .MOD to .MPG,
This is a great product. I love the design, size, hard drive (no tapes!), 32X optical zoom, added convenience of an SD card, as well as excellent video quality. The format that it records videos on can be easily changed by changing the extension of the fi
We had the standard video camera for years. Problem is you wind up with all these small tapes. My husband would work on putting them on the computer and making disks but that took way too long. My brother-in-law bought a mini disk but that requires expens
This is just plain cool!This camcorder is so worth the money! And the software it comes with is just so user friendly!!!I have no complaints about this device, cheap, reliable, and so easy to use!
Also disbale the \"Gain Up\" feature which is makes video quality bad...I recommend to get a 5-hour spare battery is only like $25-35 online and worth every penny...The Everio is especially bad in med to low light...
Pros: 20g Hard Disk camcorder 32x optical, no tapes needed Cons: Standard battery provides 1 hour and 10 minutes recording time The Bottom Line: It is small and compact with excellent videos produced even by an amateur like myself. Records directly to the
Pros: HDD, SD slot, still camera, semi large Hard Drive space. Cons: battery life, formatting of HD and SD card.
Pros: Full of features, versatile storage, 32x optical zoom. Cons: Entry-level quality only, stills look like cell-phone camera could have taken them. The Bottom Line: Good entry-level camcorder in terms of quality with some advanced features which should
I chose JVC everio of course because of its ability to write video files on hard drive and then easily copy them to my PC ( don't forget to change .MOD extension to MPG to play it in any player. Also you may need MPEG-2 codec which you can find on in
I recently purchased this product and have been very happy with the performance. It is very small and light and the recording quality is really good. I especially like the ability to record segments directly to the hard drive. It is very easy to delete th
When I take pictures with the camcorder , the pictures are not clear at all.Anyone has that problem too, or is it just my camcorder like this? Thought about to bring it back again,but I love the HardDisk and the 32 zoom.Is small and fits perfect in my han
Love the camcorder and the fact that you never have to buy tapes or those stupid little 20-minute discs. The quality is great. And you can upgrade to a three-hour battery, so battery life isn't a concern. My only drawbacks: 1) camera can be very sens
I have had this camcorder for a few weeks now. After reading some reviews on here I was scared, but I have to say that this camera works fine for me.I have taken video indoors in low light situations and the quality looks fine on my TV (32"), it is d
From the other reviews, you'd get a sense that the lighting is a disaster and the conversion from .mod to .mpeg is also a huge drain on time, but fortunately neither turned out to be true.I just bought this camera and after following the instructions
Does anyone know if you can get rid of the on-screen display of the video mode, battery, and picture quality icons during video play back? This is very anoying when trying to review a video.
A friend of mine bought a mini-DVD camcorder. I went over to her house and immediately was dismayed at the sight of her juggling mini-DVD cases like pokers chips on her desk. I don't have that problem. I didn't have the heart to tell her what a
This camera does what I want; allows me to take quality footage of my daughter as she continues to grow. I don't record film footage in a cave, so I have no complaints about the low light conditions. If what you're looking to do is capture preci
a good DV camcorder! the reason i did not rate it as 5 stars is i don't like its light function. The light is a little bit weak.
I don't think the camera is worth the 400 dollars, but it is a decent HARD DRIVE camera nonetheless. One of the major drawbacks is that you need great light sources to have an excelent shot. In addition, the proprietary .mod extension files only play
Good accessories and software included for editing films...Perhaps quality for the professional isn\'t good enough but the average person will have no complaints with this camera...It has a good capacity and has many hours of recording time...
Instantly go to an available recording spot...Small, light, takes good pics Bad night time camcorder, doesn\'t focus well, shakey when zooming in I like the size of the camcorder and it takes great pics...During the night time filming, I could not se
Summary is that this camera is very convenient, battery life is less than 1 hour, video quality during the day is good, during the night is no quality at all and in low light you should play a little bit with the settings...So 5 stars for the idea minus 1
Great on size, easy to carry, easy to put away in a small bag, long recording time on a 20 gig hard drive...Good for day events and family outdoor stuff...
its a great camera except burning the DVD procedure is hard. It was hard for me to Edit and burn the DVD. Its good for those people who have great knowledge of Photo/Movie editing software. indoor recording is not that great eigher. great for Outdoor reco
Pros: Tough, easy to use and no media to bother about. Cons: Down loading to pc is time consuming and requires a reasonable pc knowledge. The Bottom Line: Its just like the advert says if you like your MP3 player you will love this camcorder, if not choos
I like the quality of the camera in ample light. The problem I have is low light video. You can't see anything, and the low light settings make everyone look like they're moving through a strobe light. There is a review below that tells you how
This is my first camcorder. I purchased it because of my new-born son. The reasons that I chose this one are the 32x optical zoom and hard drive storage. The pixel is not bad,680000,like most other camcorders. It is very small and convenient. About the vi
I got this camera about a year ago mainly to film myself throwing discus.. anyways it had worked really well for doing that (discus), but when i used to make a film for a class at school, it was on a rolling tripod and i was rolling it down the hall filmi
Size, Nice Screen, Sound on Playback Good Assoc software diificult to use, Playback sound on camera lousy I bought the camera to film my son and his rock band and for the family...If you\'re looking for a great little camcorder I would recommend this
Overall Impressions This camcorder is targeted for the more casual user who wishes to film family and friends in well lit situations or perhaps for a novice user who wishes to experiment with video before making a big commitment in dollars for better qual
It\'s easy ,it\'s cheep and it\'s got the best stuff on it when editing the format is hard to change This camcorder is one of the best out there...I understand I bought a very good Camcorder but until now God must help me how to download to
We have had this unit for a year now and are pretty disappointed for the money we paid. We upgraded to this JVC hd model from a Panasonic minidv that was great. First indoors the camcorders light is nearly useless at more than three feet. The video pictur
I purchased this a few months ago, and am not very happy with it. Operationally and functionally it works fine. However, I'm not at all happy with the quality of the videos/pictures. I had a small digital I bought for $125 and the video quality is th

We got this camera on sale . . . now I know why. The software is slowly ruining our Gateway. It removed a decoder feature we had connected to one program and now we can't get it back w/o calling a hardware specialist.The video is grainy. Shooting in
I actually read all of the reviews posted here about this camera before I bought it. I noticed that there were some serious issues right out of the box with the "Low Light" quality. Then I noticed that the "Fix" offered by one of my fe
Pros: Small and compact. No tapes or media to mess with. Cons: bad in low light and if you movie the camera around the picture blurs
I agree with the many other users who have experienced the "Condensation, Operation Paused" defect on their JVC GR-xxxx. Despite numerous others reporting this problem, JVC says its not a recognized problem. I would disagree - it is a recognized
