  • Good quality video, Easy to use, Small
  • Poor quality still images, Short battery life, No viewfinder The Final Word A great little camcorder only let down by poor quality still images and below par battery life.

  • Abstract:  The compact Everio GZ-MG505 camcorder captures quality video with ease, but transferring that footage to a PC can be tedious and confusing

  • Taken on its own strengths, the JVC GZ-MG50E is a formidable package. Image quality is good, there is sufficient storage space for the lack of removable media not to be a problem at all, and the features are more than adequate if you don't have semi-profe...

  • Abstract:  JVC?s auto controls are as sufficient compared to most camcorders, so point and shooters could safe record a baseball game without too much trouble. The menus are inviting, so those willing to play around with a few controls should manage.

  • Compact design; easy operation
  • Proprietary video codec makes using third-party editing tools problematic
  • Although the hard-disk format has yet to come of age, theres plenty to recommend here. The MG505 is a solid and impressively specced camcorder that pushes the format that little bit closer to superseding tape ...

  • Generally satisfying video and still-photo quality, Light and compact design, Appropriate and usable manual controls
  • No eye-level viewfinder, Requires a pass through the manual to understand operation, No internal lens cover, Renders reds poorly, Video looks washed out on computer
  • A well-designed hard-disk-based camcorder, the JVC Everio GZ-MG505 produces video and stills that look great on TV. But its price might make you hit Pause. ...

  • Massive storage (7 hours of MPEG2 video) Much less video noise than earlier Everios Fast focusing and response Nice ergonomics
  • Colors don’t have pop Color accuracy off target
  • There’s no question JVC had definitely made some progress with its hard-disc drive camcorders. By using three CCDs, annoying digital noise is greatly eliminated. The camcorder focuses quickly, is nicely designed other than a floppy lens cap but pure...

  • Abstract:  The GZ-MG505 is the flagship model in a range of JVC camcorders that generate compressed Mpeg-2 video streams in addition to Jpeg digital still images, and write them to a 1.8in 30GB non-removable hard disk drive (although an optional SD card can also ...
