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.

smccarth says "Not great in low light, but easy to use" about JVC Everio GZMG255 (30 GB) HDD Camcorder

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 GREAT outside - and it's certainly easy to use, but unless you have mega-watts of light in your house, expect blurry pictures. It takes a long time to focus, and if your children move around (like most do - ha! ha!) you'll end up with a series of in-focus, then blurry, then in-focus again images.

But...it works great outside.

As for the software - it's constantly crashing our computer (Windows XP). However, I'm not 100% sure that this isn't because our computer is buggy. But it is a little frustrating, and it means that we haven't been that diligent about putting the videos onto DVDs for the grandparents (who live far away).

So I guess my feelings about this camera are probably weighing...

HisQueen915 says "Everio is Perfect" about JVC Everio GZMG255 (30 GB) HDD Camcorder

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 smaller person like myself. It's light and small enough to fit in your purse. It's very simple to use, just point and shoot. I would really recommend this to anyone who wants to upgrade to a digital camcorder. Not discs or tapes to worry about carrying around or getting scratched or ruined. Burning to a dvd or cd is as simple as making a music or photo cd....

wellebh says "Amazing camera for the price." about JVC Everio GZMG255 (30 GB) HDD Camcorder

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....

coolcat0708 says "Great choice of Camera" about JVC Everio GZMG255 (30 GB) HDD Camcorder

coolcat0708 — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 19:54:58 GMT

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 he likes to send DVDs home to them every so often to let them know how life is going. This camera makes it easy to do that.

We also bought the Everio Share Station which allows you to plug the camera right into it and burn a DVD directly from the camera (acts as a regular DVD burner as well). That's a nice feature because our computer isn't doing it's best at the moment and I would have to do all the DVD making at work. The camera keeps the scenes seperated and you can choose which you want burned and which you don't.

I love the size of the screen that allows you see what you're filming, it's large enough to tell what you're actually doing! I also like that this camera is a hard drive...

I had never been good with cameras, either still or video, until I bought this one. The first time I picked it up and used it, the results were great. I am so thrilled with this camcorder, I use it and my computer for my still shots. I hightly recommend it for first timers.

this camera is the best deal overall for the money.

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!...
