JVC's HDD based Everio line has always been promising, but everyone is pining for more room for video, especially in a camera with no way to swap in more media when you're running out of space. JVC is giving up the good stuff with its 30GB GZ-MG37 camera. At the highest quality, the 30GB model records 7 hour of video, with a 680k CCD and a powerful 32x optical zoom. Less

Pros
Great concept! Extremely user-friendly. Powerful zoom. Extra features.
Cons
EXPENSIVE! Video quality is questionable. 16:9 files stretched back to 4:3 when played.
Recommended it?
Yes
It took me several months of waiting for a good deal on some new technology. I heard enough stories about miniDV, DVD etc. from friends and I think those cameras are not really user-friendly and convenient... Got a good deal at Costco for this one, recently, and just before taking my son to the...

Pros
excellent videos, easy file transfer, easy archiving of files
Cons
no viewfinder, worthless still camera, proprietary video file format
Recommended it?

The JVC Everio GZ-MG37 is a leap forward in integration for the digital home.
Over the years I had been happy with my previous camcorders, including a now historic 1984 over the shoulder VHS model. I have usually waited for quantum leaps in technological features before making a new...

Pros
It is inexpensive for a professional camera. It works like a charm.
Cons
My camera didn't come with any accessories and that would be nice.
Recommended it?
Yes
The Canon XH-A1 is an excellent choice. I bought as a new videographer and have enjoyed it ever since. It has worked without fail and provided great footage for all of my needs.
It is suprisingly light weight and easy to handle. The camera is easily run, with a little bit...

Recommended it?
Yes
Canon does it again. You just have to get your hands on this incredible HDV camcorder. I am definitely upgrading my production camcorders (I currently own XL1, XL1s and XL2). The features and quality of the footage of the XHA1 is over the top! The image quality of the flip out LCD screen is so...
