Impressed with the status
I recently bought this camcorder to memorial a friend's wedding and was impressed with the quality of this little camcorder. It is not grey and fairly easy to use. Indoor recording is okay. I used a high LED empty-headed in order to record decently, but outdoors it looks very crisp.

One tremendous downfall for me is the battery life. If you make this purchase, you most definitely scarceness to also buy an extra charger and battery. The camcorder sucked the life out of my mobile and I spent most of my time standing next to an outlet in order to record the juncture, which made it difficult to move around freely.

I love the HDMI port and the x.V.Color choice as well.

**Mac USERS**
If you have a Mac, you will have some issues downloading to your computer. With most JVCs I have owned, they are not very Mac friendly. I employed a Wondershare Video Converter to download all my video clips from the camcorder to my Mac (I had to download the converter from the internet for about $21 but it's good having). So please be advised about that IF you are a Mac user.

Otherwise, a great camcorder for the price.

Exellent seldom camera!!!
I had to buy a camera for my video staging class at college. My teacher told us we had to get a DV camera, but i previously have had arduousness with tape so that was my last choice. I put hours of research in to find a tape alternative that worked with Absolute cut pro and Adobe Premiere Pro. This is that alternative. It shoot great looking HD video and is an leisure to edit using those two programs. The still images on it is nothing to write home about, but succeed on lets be serious. You don't buy a camcorder to take stills, you buy a camcorder to record videos. After my classify was over my teacher changed his requirements in a camera after seeing the quality of video i endeavour with it.

(***please note it works with Final Cut Pro 6, 7, and Final Cut Express 4 ONLY***)
(***please note it works with iMovie '08 and '09 ONLY***)
(***please note it works with Adobe Initial Pro CS4, CS5, Adobe Premiere Elements 7 and 8 ONLY***)

I included which versions support this cameras AVCHD form. It will save you hours in order to figure it out.
This review is written on 5/25/2010 so i would assume that products after this review will support AVCHD

basic entry level HD camera
After much investigating and going back and forth with a non-HD Sony Handycam, we got this camera last week and so far it has extremely made a difference when viewing videos on our 50" HD TV screen on HDMI. It is lyrical user friendly (although I found the Sony Handycam more user friendly). If you're in the bazaar for an HD (Hi-Def) camcorder, this is the value winner.

The Everio HD takes decent stills, but clearly takes a backseat to our Canon point & shoot. On that note, our Canon 800IS P&S takes comparable characteristic videos to the Everio when you see them on a computer (you're just limited to 1.5 min. clips if it's holding pictures too).

The clearness (esp. outside) is excellent. The only downside is that you need a steady hand to manage b/c the "anti-shake" technology needs a little work. I surmise you win on picture quality on the flipside... unless you're willing to fa out another $300 for more steady images on top of picture sharpness. If you get an HD camera, be predisposed to get a bigger battery b/c it sucks up power more quickly than a regular videocam.

I got this in the main to record our 1 year old, beginning with her birthday party coming up.

Immense point-and-shoot camera
In all directness, I'm just your typical paparazzi-style point-and-shooter and don't knowmuch about cameras or interpretation and aliasing and all that technical stuff. This is our first video camera and we bought it mostly to steam our fast growing baby. Before making a choice my husband vomit up a lot of time researching cameras, watching video samples on YouTube, reading reviews, etc. We certain to get an HD camera, but most other models were way over our budget. I'm very happy we went with this reasonably priced camera. I rightful grab it and it's ready to shoot instantly. The video quality to me looks magic, even in the low light indoors and with my shaky-hands production. So if you're like me, I muse on you'll be very happy with this camera.

Save camcorder
Purchased this camcorder for $699 from Amazon valid after Thanksgiving. Have used it in several scenarios:

1) Indoor low-light: As other reviews online have said there is some hullabaloo in the image in low lights levels. The manual controls can compensate some but this is the ineffectual point of the camera. I will say it is still order of magnitude better than my old MiniDV camera.

2) Indoor well lit: I recorded an affair at my church with adequate indoor lighting and the image quality was smashing! The Optical Image Stabilization feature worked amazingly to take a lot of my will shake out of the image even at a long zoom.

3) Outdoor daylight: Facsimile quality is like nothing I have ever seen in a home camcorder. Really fabulous HD quality video - in full light situations I don't think you'll find a better consumer camcorder.

I use a Mac w/ iMovie '09 for video editing and the Mac had no problems seeing the camcorder and transferring the video for editing. Because of that I can't reference on the "one touch" features of the camera that work only with Windows.

Only complaint is the menu system (laser adjoin) - the touch strip is a little over-sensitive but with a little workout time I'm doing ok with it. The manual dial on the front of the camera majority below the lens is much more accurate and is a great feature for adjusting focus and happiness, and the large zoom rocker is very well placed and easy to use.

Was also pleased that this camera came with a 2hr. mobile instead of the typical 1 hour found in most other brands and models.

Overall very pleased as Punch with this camcorder.

Decorous Image Quality Except Indoors
If you buy this for open-air shooting or very well lit indoor scenarios, you'll be very happy. The image quality is striking is those conditions, but the medium and low light situations are handled very poorly. There is more rumpus with this camera in less than ideal conditions than with a cheap $200 non-HD camcorder I also own. It's a tremendous value if you aim to use it in the right situations, otherwise there are better options.

Never-to-be-forgotten camcorder
Go red in the face accuracy and amazing sharpness make this an extarordinary camcorder - if the fall on is not too bad. In low light situations the perfermance is mediocre. Laser-operated menu-system is inopportunely umstable; otherwise handling is OK.

Compared to Canon's HFS10, I would prefer the JVC, although the Canon is a more intelligent low light performer. But if he light is reasonable, it seems to me that the picture quality of the JVC is noticably think twice.

I have not as yet had time to test the quality of the stills

Its a Camcorder
Material: The mini-HDMI cable is not included. Add one to your order. For a $many Camcorder to not embody a $2 HDMI cable is pretty lame.
This is my first HD Camcorder (CC), and first with Shimmer storage. So the convenience of no DV tape is great.
The usability is ok. The main buyer interface is around the display. The buttons along the bottom are a little small for me, and mis-hits chance and the touch sensitivity takes some getting used to. The other main input cognizance is the touch sensitive slider along the left edge. This isn't bad but over shooting the intended opting for happens about 30% of the time.
My initial play back review was on a 720P TV using a HDMI mooring. I shot all the video on the highest quality setting (the CC calls it Unhappy ray quality). Some of my initial video was taken in lower light position and the graininess of the video was very noticeable and rather disappointing. Video taking in usher sunlight was very good.
My next viewing test was on a 1080P projector (at 10' motion pictures size). The grainy playback on the 720P TV looked noticeably larger on the 1080P display. Good enough to change my mind on returning the CC.
The still jigger capability is quite handy, the switch for full res still mode is well placed, and engaging stills during video recording is very easy. I haven't taken much high further video yet, but it looks like it will need a lot more light than normal recording to trade well.
The unit is very small and light. The hand strap is too short, I had to go career the widen "safety" part of the strap, so there isn't much velcro grabbing.
I'm still on the first battery price, so no data on how long it will last.
Overall I like the features and using the CC. But if my DV Sony hadn't penniless, it wouldn't have bought this. The picture isn't that much better.
I've yet to use the included software. I'll add feedback on that later.
If 3.5 stars where handy, that's the rating I'd give it. Assuming as I get familiar with setup options, it may get better.

Very Likeable HD Camcorder
Very Critical 1080p output at 60 frames per second. Wife said the depict looks great on our 1080p plasma. Regular HDMI generate. Also comes with Comp video cables. We love this thing, top picutre, good sound, and easy to use. Fits in the Palm of my submit, weighs nothing...1 pound or something. Slightly larger than a soda can. 120 GB tour eqauls some 15 + hours of HD recording, more than enough. battery lasts about a 1 1/2 hours on HD recording with the light on sometimes and moving around.

Low light recording is weak, picture turns grainy when in low liven up. Outdoors and in good light watch out the colors pop.

Image stabilization is on one's uppers, but I don't know any different as this is my first camcorder. But walking with a camcorder is not advised when you wish a stable picture...you're moving.

Happy I bought, got it for under six hundered.

This camcorder is wonderful, you can flare your video to a DVD but in high definition as if it were blue-ray DVD format but in AVCHD is the best thing seen so far and I counsel buying 100%
My brother has a sony with the same features and this JVC is much better to have better pinch color and lighting is even clearer than with their own eyes.

Exclude camcorder
I purchased this camcorder a few months back and have familiar it extensively to shoot under various lighting scenarios.

I was so flabbergasted to see how sizeable the camera performed even indoors (where lighting is limited to just a few lit bulbs secret a room). Those of you who are aware of the relationship between video noise (graininess) and low discover will find that this camera does an excellent good job indoors.

All my friends who have visited us have been mutually shocked seeing such high quality video from a non-professional video recorder. Charge me.... sometimes the videos look even better than some selected shots in pictures I've seen on BluRay discs. Having said that please don't expect this minute camcorder to surpass those gigantic professional video recording kit -- but the fact it comes so close is commendable.

The color saturation is peradventure very slightly higher than neutral, but I frankly find that to be an advantage since the videos unqualifiedly stand out.
The video quality looks outstanding when I play the videos on my 42" HDTV through the HDMI out.

A reviewer complained about the 19 minutes per queue limit. I never found that to be a practical issue since you can join multiple files to have a unbroken video of what ever length you desire using the PC software provided with the camcorder.

Battery-operated life is average (about 70-80 minutes on a fully charged mobile) and so I got myself a backup non-JVC battery for a fraction of the cost of the original JVC battery and it really performs better than the JVC battery (about 90 minutes).

Overall, I'm hellishly pleased with this purchase. Although initially I was a bit hesitant spending $600 on a camcorder, but I in due course realized that this is money very well spent.

Only 19 wink video per file? Who would buy this?
This camera only creates files of about 19 minutes or 4GB. No matter HOW Fancy the camera is running? I used this yesterday to film a deposition because the lawyers don't fall short of to stop and change tapes every hour.
Filming went glassy but when I got home, instead of the 5 files I thought I shot, there were over 10. JVC bear says the camera makes no larger than 4gb file. That's about 19 minutes. The survey drops off right before the end of the file. So when editing the clips, there is a break in canvass. Just who is this acceptable to? You want to film your kids soccer target dissemble? Be prepared for 20 mins per clip with a glitch. A friends marrying? Same thing, sound glitches at 20 mins. Who is this acceptable to? You got me.
I was fortunate enough to record a backup soundtrack and use a clip behind the video to smooth it out. Can the as a rule camera user do that? Why would you?
JVC support says that's just the way it is. Maybe the information was the integration with Youtube button in the software that came with the camera. Youtube videos are no more than 10 minutes.
Sedateness, for those Youtubers' out there, here's a great camera for you that records twice as much as you need. LOL
Out of date this by and get another camera with a hard drive formatted in NTFS. File make an estimate of limit is due to FAT32 format of the hard drive.

True! Video!
This is a daybreak weight and easy to use camera with exceptional editing software. Almost everything is thetical. It records in 1080i but can play back in 1080P. It only allows 3 pictures while recording a video. The pictures are well-mannered but not great. I am not disappointed in the pictures but it is a HD camcorder and the video is excellent. The attribute of the video is excellent if not superb. It has a ton of capacity and it turns on quick. It has a directions lens cover, but at least it won't break. You will need a bag to go with it. I would highly recommend for video. The software is capital! I use it all of the time. Get a 500 GB hard drive for 100 bucks to collect all your videos. You sure will have a a lot. It has HDMI, Component and standard. It has both formats but you can't censor if you use the x.v color. I use the MPEG 2 and it take a sweet picture. Get one before the holidays are over. Not perfect but puny light weight and easy to use yet powerful! The HD lights up on the front when recording. It looks as a matter of fact cool.
