LOTS OF BELLS AND WHISTLES. BATTERY OPTIONS DISAPPOINTING

Date of Review:  Feb 14, 2007
The 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,...

My Value-Corder

Date of Review:  Feb 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: For the value, this is a great product. While it's not HiDef, it will capture the moment just as you remembered (or didn't want to remember) it.
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...

What a waste of money

Date of Review:  May 17, 2008
The Bottom Line: Stay away,It is not a user friendly product. I don't understand why JVC would include software that clearly doesn't work well with the camera.
Review: I bought my JVC gz-mg130u on vacation while in las vegas. I was looking for a camera that I could capture the moments in a once in a lifetime trip with my family. Aso Looked for a camera that would have ease of use for me and my wife. while at...

A bargain for the value

An excellent beginner camera

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2009
The Bottom Line: Does what it's designed to do.
Review: I bought this mini on sale for $400 at Best Buy during the Black Friday weekend. This is the first mini camera I have and I feel it is perfect for a beginner--or a novice who is just learning the technology for the first time. My prime motivation...

The good, the bad, and the ugly - the MG130 has them all.

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 2007
The 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...

JVC Everio HDD Camcorder

Date of Review:  Nov 29, 2007
The 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...

Not So Great

Date of Review:  Jan 13, 2008
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...

tremendous waste of time and money

Date of Review:  Oct 12, 2008
Review: The camera itself seems to work fine but I have never been able to make or watch a dvd or edit any of the video so I really dont know what the final quality is like. The software is terrible! Cyberlink power director and power producer. Either the...
