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 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 »

For my second trip to Hawaii I wanted to have some sort of waterproof camera that I could easily take with me while climbing through bamboo covered hills, wading through streams, and snorkeling.  Unfortunately, most water-proof cameras were not getting very good reviews.  The PlaySport...

This is a very early review on a camcorder that I recently purchased for my daughter for her highschool graduation.

As we were planning on going on a cruise later this year, my daughter wanted to have a nice camcorder to record the trip with.  Since cruises often go to places where... Read full review »
