Great choice of Camera

JAN

My husband and I bought this camera as a Christmas present to ourselves this past year. The camera is very user friendly and is mostly self explanitory (we hardly had to look at the instruction manual) I love how small it is and easy to carry around places. My husbands parents live in Peru and...

Not great in low light, but easy to use

We bought this camera about a year ago to record our 2 little kids. I researched quite a bit before making my seleciton because I was looking for a camera that could handle various lighting situations. I have to say I'm more than a bit dissappointed - especially given the cost of the camera. It works...

Awesome Camera

My granddaughter was coming up to Alaska for a visit so I had to get a video camera. I did some research and tried out each one at the store. I decided on the JVC because of the hard disk storage. I am new to using this camera but so far it has been really easy to use. I love that it has a large hard drive so I don't have to worry about running out of storage space. It's extremely lightweight. It was a bit pricy but well worth the money.

It also takes still pictures which comes in handy when I don't want to fish for my digital camera. The still pictures are of an acceptable quality...

Amazing camera for the price.

This camera is worth every penny, and the technology used (hard-drive instead of miniDV or DVD) is much easier to use than the others. The hard-drive allows for much greater functionality rather than having to lug around a bunch of miniscule tapes or fragile dvds. Also, the hard-drive's 30gb capacity means you can keep on rolling the video as long as your battery lasts - and there's even additional batteries that you can purchase to help keep the film rolling even longer. The ease and functionality of this little gem give it five stars in my book.

We looked for the perfect video camera for years and were disappointed with what we found until we ran across this gem. This camera is so great that I cant say enough good about it! It is very reasonably priced and grat for the whole family. It is very durable and the video comes out wonderful. It is easy enough that evnthe kids can use it. It charges easily and the HDD is an absolute must! The JVC everio has a nice screen that is easy to view and trasfers easily to computer for editing. I would defiitely recommend this to anyone lookig for a great vidoe camera.

this camera is the best deal overall for the money. We bought an extra battery, and the total cost came to around $575 @ bestbuy over a year ago. the 30 gig HDD is great , as you dont have to full with tapes. it is very easy to upload to your PC to burn on DVD or plugs into any TV with rca jacks to record straight to DVD or VCR tapes.........picture is awesome, and very clear, and it zooms very well

Everio is Perfect

The Everio is the perfect family camcorder. The Hard Drive is plenty large enough at 30gig. Plenty of space to record all those family moments. The quick startup is perfect for catching your little child's moments without having to wait for a long startup. The built in light is great for low light situations but is not so bright it blinds the subject. It has an internal micro SD slot for even more memory. Downloading the images and video is as easy as any regular digital camera. The files are saved with all information like date, time etc. The size is perfect, especially for the... review »

We wanted a camera to film family moments, and so far, it has been a good choice. The image is good, except when we move around. Then, the image loses some of its quality.

It is easy to hold and to manipulate while filming. It is small, so carrying it is no hassle.

Videos can be downloaded to the computer easily and quickly. It is great not having to wait the actual length of the recording for it to download.

The software is not so great, as is it is not exactly user friendly.

this is a very easy to use camera , allows you to take single pictures like your camera or movies if you prefer. it has the ability to shoot pictures in low light also fast moving pictures so it is perfect for family memories. great for trips since you can carry it in a pocket or purse . its light in weight so you can carry it anywhere ready for what ever pictures you might want to take without no worries about running out of film

This camera was received as a gift and we are so very greatful! We have never owned a camcorder before and this is so user friendly and we were able to figure it all out in no time. The picture and sound quality is great! The still camera is a little on the fuzzy side (our digital camera is clearer, but that's ok) but the video quality is amazing!

Good beginner camcorder. Picture quality is decent, although less so when moving. Easy to use. Easy to hold. Good price for the quality. Would recommend for the beginner to intermediate user. Sometimes difficult to hook up to variety of computers, software is somewhat limited.
