Great idea but poor implementation

Date of Review:  Oct 9, 2005
The Bottom Line: This camcorder is a very cute toy, brilliant idea, but the quality of video is still very poor. I would wait for the next version.
Review: I've been reading articles about smart devices that use miniature hard drives for the last couple of years now, so when I finally came across JVC Everio family of hard drive based camcorders I new I needed to get one!

The idea of course is...

The best Day-After-Thanksgiving purchase I've made

Date of Review:  May 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: I love this camcorder! Everyone needs one!
Review: I bought this in 2006, so I've had it for a while. I love this camcorder. It takes decent video - we watch it on a 46 inch screen and it seems to be fine. I mean, obviously we're not talking newscast quality here, but it can take a pretty good...

An excellent indicator of things to come

Date of Review:  Feb 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: The iPod of camcorders, this unit is good for bleeding edge trendsetters but not for the masses... not yet anyway. This is a vision of what is coming.
Review: The JVC Everio series is the future today. I have no doubt about it. It's kind of like the iPod of camcorders. No tapes, no discs... you just shoot and shoot and shoot. It all gets recorded to the internal hard disk. The best part of this is that...

Great in Great light. Poor in poor light

Date of Review:  Feb 19, 2008
The Bottom Line: Quality is poor if lighting is not ideal(Bright & Sunshine) Hard to master software.
Review: I bought this camera about 2 years ago. I loved the fact that there was no tapes or DVD's to worry about. I loved the fact that you can pick it up and shoot without worrying about recording over anything. The zoom is great. It could also be used a...

Not yet

Date of Review:  Feb 27, 2006
The Bottom Line: Lots of promise in the technology, but the poor image quality cannot justify purchasing this yet.
Review: We are expecting our first child, so a camcorder was on the list of things to buy immediately. When I saw this one, with the hard drive, was in our price range, I couldn't resist. I was very excited about this camera, and loved everything about it...

Very poor quality pictures and video. Don't buy!

Date of Review:  Jun 30, 2006
Review: This is the worst quality I have ever seen from a video camera ever. Even my Vhs camcorder from 15 years ago took WAY better video than this thing. The still pictures are also WAY worse than my very first 1 megapixel digital camera. Mostly because...

Nice concept, but poor video quality

Date of Review:  May 18, 2006
Review: I bought this camcorder on sale since it was last year's model. After playing with it a little, I figured out the software and burnt a DVD. I was not impressed at all with the software or quality of video. My old Panasonic vhs-c is just as good of...

A good start of a new generation of camcorders

Date of Review:  Feb 6, 2006
Review: It is easy to use, the size makes it easy to carry, you can use an external memory card and best of all......No tapes!!!! I love that part! :)
The quality and the annoying light that blinds people (like my toddler) makes it a disappointing. I...
