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

Great Camera for Most People

bycarlosglz Sep 13, 2005
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Lots of high quality recording time, easy to share video on dvd.
Cons Quality degrades in low-low light, but has shutter settings menu.
Recommended it? Yes

Finally! I have been waiting for a video camera that takes good quality video (not mpeg4) and does not use tapes. Everyone that I know has a minidv/digital8 camera, and when they shoot something, the last we all ever see of it is when they hook up the camera to the tv at the end of the day. After...

Problems with software.

bygus5946 Dec 27, 2005
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros size, no media required for recording, ease of use.
Cons Software that comes with the unit, battery life
Recommended it? Yes

I like the camcorder and it seems to work good, but when I installed the software that came with the unit, it messed up my laptop. I recommend buying Adobe Priemere Elements 2.0 for editing your .MOD files that the camcorder produces. Of course you have to have windows XP version to run this... Read full review »

great concept, but the video quality is not

bymrkoder Sep 13, 2006
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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... Read full review »

Truly Digital Video

byManyacs47 Apr 27, 2007
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros excellent videos, easy file transfer, easy archiving of files
Cons no viewfinder, worthless still camera, proprietary video file format
Recommended it? Yes

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... Read full review »
