  • 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 ...

  • 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...
