JVC Everio GZ-MG330

As a producer on public access cable, i needed to eventaully get my own equipment to film my shows. Long story short, I ran into the HDD series of camcorders and then to JCV. With a hard drive, I never need tapes and I can easily transfer video files from the camera to my PC. You can even trim off the unwanted parts of the video footage directly on the camera! Not only does this have a 30gb harddrive but it also has a micro sd slot. This camcorder is fantastic IMO! Just as advertized it can get up to 9999 still photos, 37hrs of video footage in low resolution setting and 10hrs on the highest quality setting.

I had no problems with the automatic focusing or light adjustments.
FF and rew buttons are gone and replaced with the LCD screen lite touch buttons and the lazer touch strip...That is really cool!!!
No lens cap to lose because the lens is protected by a built-in shutter.
Low on light? This also has a built-in spot light.
Sound reception is great IMO! From 15' away in a regular room I got clearaudio talking at regular tone. No need to shout at this camcorder.

With the battery in it, its an inch longer than a Motorola Razr phone, just as wide and 3x as thick. Yeah, its small! The connections are well hidden and placed in maybe the best places where you can still shoot with everything connected.

The full package comes with battery, usb, AC, AV cables, hand strap, neck strap, and remote. No worries if you get a used one without the manual just go to JVC.com. The thing that brought it home for me is that it also comes with the software and editing disc. With this, I no longer need to go to the public access studio to edit my footage and produce a show. Import, edit, add intros, transitions, text, effects, then produce add chapters if i want. Basicly you can almost make your DVD run like a store bought movie. Then you can burn to CD or DVD or save as a file on your PC.

It would be super moronic of me to find something faulty or flawed about this JVC Everio GZ-MG330 camcorder.
