Pros: Data storage capability. 30Gb Hard Disc. No need for additional recording media. Large LCD. Software.
Cons: Easy to learn, but takes time. Included Battery insufficient. Car charger unavailable. Batteries costly.

Bottom Line: Buy if you plan on making good, long movies and will use often. For occasional use, more basic camcorders can be found for less.
Review: THE "DEAL" It may be noticed that the price I paid was far below retail offerings. This due to the fact that I purchased an "Open Box" unit from Circuit City. Everything was still in their original bags, labels/tags were still attached, all... (more)

Review: Everyone loves Black Friday. It's when all the nuts come out and shop. Competitive shopping should be part of the Winter Olympics. But alas, not everyone understands the nature of the beast. So, the many rush to get the few, while the few rush to get the... (more)

Pros: Compact size, massive hard drive storage, direct and fast access to true digital recordings.
Cons: Poor battery life, problematic ".mod" file format, non tech savvy need not apply.
Reviews By
Bottom Line: Cutting edge, HDD offers many advantages, but is crippled by JVC's use of USB vs. firewire, and the foolish non standard video format. Tech-savvy operator required for advanced features.
Review: Our old camcorder, an aging JVC Hi-8 had finally reached the point where it was not worth investing more money into to bring it back to a serviceable state - so the hunt began for a replacement. My goals with the new camcorder was a mix of convenience... (more)

Review: I got my Everio camcorder at good ol’ Wal-Mart. And at the time it cost me roughly $530 dollars after tax, so I would suggest to anyone interested in this camera to shop around for the best deal you can find. But when it all came down to it there... (more)
