small vidio camera for such high quality pictures
Review of JVC Everio GZ-MG20 by jivecube2006 taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Compact, Light..hrd drv.
Disadvantages Small Battery

...JVC Everio GZ-MG20 No cds,dvds or cassets. Straight on a hard disc. No problems of space. Then onto the computer where you can download onto a cd if you like what you have. or plug straight into the tele. still pictures are crystal clear and movies are great. Zoom is maybe too powerful which i find if not mounted on tripod you shake. Tends to become out of focus. Im glad i waited. to buy this product and JVC have manufactured cine cameras for many yrs. Possibly for the size of battery, manufacturers could have given spare battery. there's about 9hrs of memory to fill yet only short life.on battery. I need car charger and spare battery Carying bag was not included in the price, but the shop i went to gave one to me as a good jesture.... Read review

Easy To Use Tough Digital Camcorder
Review of JVC Everio GZ-MG26EY by johnny040676 taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Small, lightweight, east to use, strong and sturdy
Disadvantages Battery doesn't last long enough

...I have owned this camcorder for about 18 months now and I must say I am very pleased with it. I went for one with a hard drive as there are less moving parts to break while you are out and about filming. Also you are not messing about with tapes or discs. Brief Description ******************* The JVC Everio GZ-MG26EY is a very compact little hard drive camcorder with a 20GB hard disk, 32x optical zoom, widescreen, LCD display and many other features I will go into later. It fits nicely into a small shoulder bag and can be carried around quite comfortably ready to shoot if needs be. It feels very nice when strapped in to your hand and all basic fuctions are easily accessible with the one hand holding it. It is also quite an attractive little camera and can shoot digital stills as well as video if required. What's in the Box... Read review
