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

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...

Great videos, Easy to use, Unreliable power

Pros Lightweight, Compact, Easy to Use
Cons Bad in Low Light
Recommended it? Yes

I got this on clearance at Meijer because my power supply is lost for my tape digital video camera. It takes surprisingly clear and colorful full screen videos played on my PC wide screen monitor.
