LOTS OF BELLS AND WHISTLES. BATTERY OPTIONS DISAPPOINTING - by mattd241
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)

Bottom Line: For the value, this is a great product. While it's not HD, it will capture the moment just as you remembered (or didn't want to remember) it.=p

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)
The good, the bad, and the ugly - the MG130 has them all. - by pepper99
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.
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)
JVC Everio HDD Camcorder - by shadrachcorvus
Pros: Good quality video and pictures, no need for tapes or discs, 30 GB hard drive
Cons: Short lived battery life
Bottom Line: This is an excellent camcorder, take care of it and it will be useful for a good while.
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)
Not So Great - by bikekadude
Pros: Easy to Use
Cons: No Time / date stamp on video. Video quality is so-so.
Review: I bought this camera to do some surveylance. After trying to download the video, I found out the time/date stamp does not download into a PC with the video (I need this for court) unless you buy the separate and proprietary "Share Station" docking DVD... (more)
Me Experience with the GZ-MG 130 Model - by dippleden
Pros: 30GB Hard Disk Drive capacity, 34x optical zoom, quick restart, decent video, and lightweight.
Cons: Records in .MOD format. Still pictures blurry at 640x280; More expensive than the competition.
Review: I have been wanting a camcorder for quite awhile and I finally bought myself this one for my birthday. I wanted a camera that took high quality video that I could upload quickly to my pc and edit -- at an affordable price. I was also specifically... (more)
