Advantages: easy to use, takes great video and pictures Disadvantages: none, it's great
I love this camcorder. In the past, I've never used any of our digital cameras or video cameras because they are too difficult and I'm always afraid I'm going to break it. My husband did a lot of online research before choosing this camera. He wanted to get something that took great video and pictures, but was also easy for me to use. This handycam fit the bill! We got it just before our first child was born. It took beautiful picture and video. ... ...and video and then download it to my laptop. I'm not good with electronics at all, but this is really easy to use. It's also easy to take out the battery, recharge it, and then put it back in. It's sturdy, simple to use, and takes great video and pictures even when my hands shake! ...

Advantages: Good quality video, easy to use, hard drive is handy! Disadvantages: Still images not so good, struggles a bit in low lighting
The arrival of camcorders with hard drives has really been a godsend for many. While MiniDV has its advantages, it really is so much handier having your videos recorded to a hard drive, which can then be simply copied over to your computer. The Sony SR80E Handycam was one of the first to include a hard drive, which was the reason that I bought it, well, coupled with the fact that I needed a camcorder anyway. So, lets have a look at how this ... ...CCD

Advantages: size, weight, big hard drive, long battery life Disadvantages: software issue
...We settled on this JVC Everio GZ-MG360B. Was it a quality purchase though, or were our memories fleeting. Let us take a look and see.
I am always a straight shooter in these reviews, and this one will be no exception. There are some aspects to this camcorder that I have really enjoyed thus far, but there are some drawbacks as well. I will give it to you from both ends then let you make your choice as to whether you want to secure one for yourself.
... ...a TV camera. This JVC was so lightweight that I was able to capture plenty of lasting memories on tape, instead of hoping to catch that one important moment while I could still hold the camera up.
Another feature that it had an advantage on other cameras on, and far outpaced my old camcorder, was in the area of battery life. With this camcorder I could finally say goodbye to those days when I prayed that the kids would get done with what they were ...

Advantages: Incredible image quality, extreme zoom, and touchscreen Disadvantages: Honestly, nothing I can think of!
This is the best camcorder I've ever dealt with. It has great features, is easy to operate, and it is a very reasonable price. The 60 GB hard drive space is what attracted me originally to this camera. I wanted to upgrade from my old piece of junk Panasonic camera, so I went online and found this beauty. After reading great things about it, I decided to purchase it. I took it out of the box and immediately felt the Steven Spielberg mania creeping ... ...camcorder. I love the fact that it can zoom in so closely to an object so far away and not lose its image quality. I don't really use the night vision, but it kind of neat to have. It makes you feel like a Navy Seal! The touch panel screen is kind of awkward at first, because I was so used to using buttons on the camera itself. But, after a month or so, the touch screen became second nature to me. I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone ...

The Canon DC330, is a brilliant camera with an amazing quality of output once you connect it to a computer. I really liked using this when I went on holiday, becuase it captured all of the memorys I wanted to keep, in high definition picture quality with amazing sound output for a camcorder!
I would reccomend buying this camcorder to anyone. Why? Everyone will have at least some memories that they want to keep with them, and this is just the beast ...
