Product Description

With the GZ-MG330A Everio Hard Drive Camcorder you can record all the stuff that makes life more fun. Everio has been redesigned to offer more satisfaction in a smaller, lighter body. It's the world's smallest and lightest hard disk camcorder, so you can shoot actively without fatigue, and travel with lots of space left over when you pack your bags. The Everio models have been equipped with a high-performance lens developed by camera specialist, KONICA MINOLTA. It captures clear and bright images. Everio is equipped with an industry-leading 35x optical zoom for incredible magnification with full optical quality. Digital zoom takes you up to 800x. Internal high-capacity HDD allows extremely long recording times. With the 30GB model, you can store up to 37 hours of video. To safeguard Hard Disk Drive from shocks and vibrations, the Everio has a Floating Suspension System that effectively dampens vibrations through polymer shock absorbers. You can choose the picture quality from four modes, from high-quality video equivalent to DVD Movie to small-sized clip ideal for uploading to the Web. In addition to a built-in hard disk drive, Everio also has a slot for microSD Card so you can store videos and stills on this commonly available memory card (optional).

Reviewed on 2008-07-17 Picture Quality Horrible Bought this to replace my trusty but dying Sony thinking the picture quality HAD to be better after six years. But sadly, no. My Sony TRV350 had much better picture quality especially in weird light situations (shadow/light, low light, etc.). Focus was horrible and stabilization non-existent. Colors not real or vivid. On the plus side it holds a huge amount of video, is extremely easy to transfer the video to a computer, is very small and thus portable and looks cool. I was willing to overlook video quality to a certain point. But this camcorder failed to come close to "acceptable." When my Canon SD500 shoots better video (although not a very fast frame rate) than my camcorder, Houston, we have a problem. NOT recommended even for those simple family gatherings.

Reviewed on 2008-07-12 LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT! THIS CAMERA IS WONDERFUL! NOT ONLY DOES IS THE PICTURE QUALITY GREAT BUT IT IS VERY USER FRIENDLY AND SMALL. I CAN FIT THIS CAMERA, MY DIGITAL CAMERA AND BOTH CHARGERS INTO ONE SMALL BAG WHICH MAKES ME MORE LIKELY TO BRING IT ALONG AND SHOOT MORE VIDEO OF MY KIDS. IT IS VERY EASY TO CREATE DVD'S FROM THE FOOTAGE AND VERY EASY TO NAVIGATE THROUGH THE MENUS. THE PRICE IS VERY AFFORDABLE AND WORTH EVERY PENNY! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TO FAMILIES WHO JUST WANT SOME GREAT HOME DVD'S.

Reviewed on 2008-07-06 Great little camera We purchased this camcorder to take video's of our two little babies to send to family and save for ourselves. It is a great buy! It is so easy to use and small and compact. The picture quality is excellent! The blue color is nice. I would definately recommend to anyone who wants a camcorder for family stuff! So easy with not having to use the discs. Just plug it into your computer and off load like a digital camera.

Reviewed on 2008-07-04 Still learning I just received this item and I am still learning how to use it, but it is very easy to learn. Picture quality is great, controls are easy to use. No complaints.

Reviewed on 2008-06-28 pretty goood camcorder i've had it for almost a month.it's really easy to upload the videos to the computer,i have recorded in the night just using the camera's flashlight and the lowlight quailty is pretty good,my other choice was the canon fs100 but the lowlight performance on that camcorder is way grainer than jvc's camera so i went ahead with the jvc instead not too fancy just right for when u are about to record something u just open the lid and it turns on automatic ready to record u just open the lens cover and press the record button
