honourableness little camera
we received this as a power for our sons birth.

pros: easy to use, plenty of storage(for us), well brought up picture quality, no media to buy (you can shoot hours and hours substantially for free)

cons: = solution
battery life = buy a sponsor battery

low light grainy = the other suggested solutions work tuneful good

media transfer = there is a program out there called JVC Everio Utility, that will convey the files for you, correct the aspect ratio, and rename with a mpg extension, this is a critical little prog, that used to be free, but lately the author has started charging a trivial bit for it.

I also had to install the provided software in order to get the necessary codecs for Windows Media Competitor to playback my videos

I also prefer to manually white balance my powerful shots

overall a good camera.

Wierd Put Format
This camera takes virtuous videos and is easy to handle. The biggest drawback is that the .MOD file style can only be downloaded by the software that comes with the camera. I have found no other popular video software that will place the .MOD format. Now I find that the software that came with the camera seems to have "RUN OUT", like most demo software that comes with machinery. Now I either buy the "upgraded" version of the download software, or buy another camera (different kind) JVC has had it with me, NEVER AGAIN!

Focus light upon Needed
Countless camera- if you never intend to shoot a video inside. The lowlight problems mentioned in some other reviews are worse than I imagined. I matter-of-fact the workaround discussed above, tried out hundreds of combinations of my own, and followed JVC bloke support instructions, all to no avail. Any video shot inside, or otherwise with lowlight, is grainy, groggy, shadowy and the colors are false. I tried returning the camera to amazon/J&R Music and to JVC, but none of the above would take it back being background the 30 day return policy. I am incredibly disappointed in this camera. When put up next to a 5 year old sony vhs camcorder (a budget maquette at that) I realized the low light quality is even worse than my old one! This was a huge waste of change - don't buy it.

A hardly disappointed
I recently purchsased the JVC Everio GZMG27 after much enquire and thought about which platform to get....hard drive vs. mini DV tapes vs. mini DVD discs. I tested the cam yesterday and it was effortlessly to use, very user friendly (don't really need to read the manual to get it working) and took a punctilious video. Overall a very good purchase over the Sony which generally payout about $100 more. However, what I do not like about the camera and will be the reason why I am going to return it and win the DVD mini disc format is the time it takes to create a DVD. Last incessantly I copied the test video from the Cam to my hard drive and I discovered the subsequent. The files are some weird MOI type which cannot be opened using any standard video software. You must use the disc that comes with the camcorder. The software does countenance you to convert to AVI which would then have to be converted to DVD format. This of course is in real time, so if your video is 2 hours, you must exploit back the video for 2 hours and then wait for the computer to first convert to AVI. After that I could rip it to disc in about 45 more minutes. Although there is an alternative of directly ripping to DVD, I do not like this option since I would like to have a back up (in DVD file layout) on my harddrive along with a copy of the DVD.
With the mini DVD camcorders, it is so easy to make a emulate and keep a copy on your computer's harddrive for future editing/copies. Much less time strong for sure. The drawback is of course that the discs are only good for about 30 minutes of footage, but that is penalty with me.
Hope this saves you some time.

this is video camera is not on the same wave length with Window's vista. the program that comes with it. STINKS! I didn't try to download and try until after the bond had un be known to me expired. I bought an expensive DVD player that only plays what is on this camcorder. on the look again but will NOT buy a JVC.

Believable camcorder for common shooting
I bought this camcorder because I wanted to have one I could entrap up to my computer and use iMovie to edit and burn to a DVD. This camcorder is a great buy for the money and comes with everything you be in want of to get started. The LCD screen is crisp and the quality, when on its highest setting, is very things. This camcorder is compatible with iMovie and is small enough to go most places easily. This is a skilled buy for filming stuff outdoors. The battery life is about 1.5 hours with the example battery so I would recommend buying a second battery. The recording on occasion on the highest quality setting is a little over 7 hours so it will do most work at best fine. A good entry-level camcorder.

I've had this camera for a year + now. It does a virtuous job. And as others have said, the color is so-so and if zoomed in you just about need a tri-pod, I can't hold it controlled enough. But I have discover a HUGE problem. After updating to Vista I needed the introduce disc that came with the camera. I couldn't find it of course. I thought no complication, I'll just download it fro the JVC site. Well, they don't offer any drivers or software...ethical updates. You need the USB driver for this thing to work with your computer. Oh, you can use Windows Flick picture show or some other program but most can't find the camera and are really a big pain to use. I googled for the driver on the internet and found nothing, nothing but population with the same problem.
You can buy (of course) the disc from the JVC Accessory store on there site for a scant 40 bucks!!! Yea, after spending a few hundred on their camera they insisted on another couple of money for the USB driver to use it. Not very good customer relations if you ask me.
Anyway, if you need the part total of the disk it's...LY32210-079A

Passionate Cam For Price
I was very impressed with the superiority and size of this cam. Though it lacks a lot of features of higher priced cameras, it makes up for it with extent and ease of use. The biggest feature that is missing is the ability to manually supervision focusing and other features, but at the same time you can pull it out of a large pocket, unbosom the cameras screen and start recording within just a few seconds. The 30 gig well-defined drive is enough to hold a ton of video. Since I received it, I have shot video all day at the SD zoo, Exciting Animal Park, Sea World, Disneyland, and a couple of family gatherings, and still have a lot of rank on the drive. I would suggest a couple of upgrades for this camera that can be purchased severally, one which is a necessity, which is an extra battery. You will only get a 1.5 hours of recording outdated at most. If you like checking what you just recorded it can be much less. These batteries can range from 30 - 75 on the net from my own explore, some generic ones come with wall and car chargers, which tend turn up in handy. The other upgrade I would suggest would be lens filters and extra shooting lenses. I was clever to get a 3 piece lens kit and a 2 shooting lens kit that fit this camera for around [...]. Most these lenses are rightful to broaden the scope of what and how good you can shoot something. The one lens I would make a immediacy wold be the uv lens it will protect the cameras lens and slow the degeneracy of the lens from uv light, and gives a little to the shooting quality. Another profitable purchase would be a lens hood, just to cut out more sun and glare. If you spend between an [...], you will go from having a friendly fun camera to a pretty good and functional camera. Overall, for the couple hundred I prostrate on a refurbished model and the [...] I spent on upgrades, it well outperformed be like classes of cameras I researched, and most importantly I enjoy using it.

I would second this camcorder!
I searched exalted and low for a good HD camcorder that wouldn't break my bank and I finally found the JVC Everio GZ-MG360 for a adequate price. I took it with me on a trip the day after I got it and have just now been able to see the finished by-product. Here's my eval of it:

Pros:
-VERY easy to use... if you're the least bit tech savy then you can chassis out how to use everything by just simply clicking through the buttons.
-Nice, functional enterprise - lightweight, small, and very stylish!
-Even on the highest 'ultra fine' mounting I got 8 hrs of video.
-Transfer between the camcorder and PC is a piece of cake... when you beat the drum for it in... it takes over!

Cons:
-Even though they do not lie about it... the battery life is only around 1hr or so... I would advise buying a second battery... I had access to an outlet so no biggie.
-I have a fancy there was an automatic lens opener on it because I kept forgetting to open and agree the lens... it does remind you however!
-Not that this is a big deal but WMP does not identify the 16:9 aspect ratio so you will need to use DIVX or RP to play the vid files with the perfect aspect ratio.

Summary: Overall I am VERY pleased with this camcorder and would tremendously recommend this for anyone wanting a low end price memory snapper! :)

Closely-knit and Easy To Use.
The first indentation of the JVC 60GB Camcorder was the compact size and light weight. The controls were very effortlessly to figure out on day 1. The laser slider and touch controls are small because the LCD screen won't get smudged.

The camera takes pretty good pictures. The drink button is a 2-stage like many digital cameras. Press sparingly and hold there for the camera to focus and adjust to the lighting; when you get the green of on the LCD screen, press down fully and take the picture.

I think for most people, they will be pleasantly surprised with this camcorder. Order and function fit well with its size and weight.

There are packages available on Amazon.com with this JVC, which involve just about everything you'll need for most of us. I bought this camcorder as a package and saved a lot of fortune.

The JVC 60GB Everio is a great buy, in my opinion.

Advance than expected from a really good seller
What can I say? After trolling through pros and cons and tons of reviews, it came down to Panasonic, Sony and JVC. The Panasonic received too many contrary reviews on their file format, and the only Sony option was Hard Ride since the flash camcorders used the very expensive and proprietary pro-duo memory cards. So Back-breaking Drive camcorders it was. The 30 GB Sony was a tad more expensive, by about $[...], than the JVC. But it had 0 lux dusk vision. Awesome! The 30GB JVC Everio was cheaper and also had tons of great reviews. Then I checked the second-hand camcorders. I picked up this 60GB version for a mere $[...] with an included JVC camera bag. So my pick was obvious, especially when I was able to score a 60GB for cheaper than the 30GB. It doesn't look against, only an open box item. Plus the Seller was great and got the camera to me sooner than expected. Imposing service from Offprice.

Here's a list of programs I use. I convert into i-Pod, wmv and AVI for all my portable players and to send across the net. I neophyte into VOB and MPEGII for all my DVD recordings. Here's a list of all the programs I use, some free, some not. Nero Foresightedness Express, Super encoder, TMPEG nc plus, TMPEG nc DVD Initiator, and Archos media converter.

Here's what I've done so far. I took the thing out and started recording at the most appropriate quality. Why not, it has 60GB of space. I also recorded an instructional video. After all my recording, I hooked the JVC up to the computer (visible HD style), and simply drug the files directly into NERO Eidolon Express to create a DVD. I also created a DVD another way, by converting the files to .VOB and using TMPEG products to have gross control over my DVD creation. Works like a charm, and quality is ok all in all standard definition. On the 42 inch LCD HDTV, it looks ok. Not Consequential Def, but I was only budgeting $[...], not $[...], so I wasn't expecting movie importance. But if you hook the player directly up to the TV, the quality is much better. So I'll tinker with it to find the overpower fit.
I haven't tried the direct to DVD back-up yet from the camcorder, so I'll try that next.

Now for the meat:
Pros:
It was the first-rate deal I could find. $[...] for a 60GB 35x optical zoom is unbeatable. Speaking of the zoom, it gets a little flocculent around 30x or so, but you can still make out a clear image. The optical stabilization works skilful when zooming in that close. I think the term for this type of zoom is "Stalker Zoom." The 60GB HD will budget many hours of the best quality recording (15 hours I evaluate), and hooking it to the computer is a snap, like any other external HD. Working with the files is unexcitedly with the right programs, and many of them are free. I haven't installed the JVC stuff. Its cheap form factor (about the size of two packs of Marlboro 100s put together) is very solid and as the wife says, "cute." It's very good indoors, even outdo outdoors, and pretty good in low light situations. It's everything I expected it to be. I started recording as in short order as I took it out of the box, so it's also very easy to use.

Cons:
The auto focus gets bewildered and sometimes takes a while under lowlight conditions. I'm still trying to figure out how to use the built in LED frivolous; it seems to have a mind of its own and turns on and off by itself if it thinks the computer screen you're shooting is too dark (for an instructional video).
It's not HD so presume standard definition quality on a large screen HDTV. That's all I can definitely think of other than the extra-life battery sticks out like a touchy thumb, but at least it's out of the way during operation.

Summary:
I'll get a different point of view when the partner takes it out for our daughter's field day. As of yet, I call this the purchase of the year for me. I got what I wanted. Next, I'll look into HD camcorders, but that's affluent to be a long while from now. This JVC will suit our needs just fine and fit our budget entirely. I highly recommend it.

Cloth Camera in a Small Package
This is the first camcorder I've ever owned, so unfortunately, I can't measure against it to anything else. However, I've used it for about 3 weeks now, and I'm pretty happy with it so far. It is very easy to use, and its compact measure assess allows me the opportunity to use it more than I probably would if it was bulkier.
