Easy to use, more convenient than ever

Strengths: Small size, widescreen shooting, large storage capacity

Weakness: No viewfinder, short battery life

I'm your typical video camera hobbyist - one who takes casual videos of family, vacation, school & other events, and videos for fun. Sometimes, if I have time, I edit my videos, make transitions, titles, add music, etc. If you're like me, this is a great video camera, and I highly recommend it. If you're a professional, you might have to analyze it more in depth for your needs... First of all, a...

Great Video Camera for the most part

Strengths: Easy to use & navigate menus, good still pictures and video. Small

Weakness: Only shoots in mpeg-2, no Firewire!

This video camcorder has definitely been a love/hate relationship for me. There's a lot I love, and a few things I really, really hate. So lets start with the good. My main use for this video camcorder is for shooting video for our local community theatre. I needed a camcorder that could shoot for long periods of time without having to change tapes every 30mins. Also needed a camcorder that did...

Great product

Strengths: 2MP camera, HDD, SD slot

Weakness: limitied space on HDD (up to 7 hours of video), short battery life with regular battery

This is the camcorder I decided to purchase for several reasons. It is digital, no tape required, it has SD memory card slot built in, higher resolution digital still camera (2MP). After all, great product, with a good price thru PriceGrabber (saved over $200)

I like it very much!!

Strengths: Compact size, light weight, very easy to use for recording, especially appreciate it 7 hours continuous High quality recording. By connecting the USB, it's very to edit the file to Playable-DVD.

Weakness: Even Everio GZ-MG77 has 2M Pixel CCD sensor, but the still picture quality is not really clear.

The battery charing is through on machine charging circuit, I'm very worry about burning the camcorder some day, so, if the package can include a external battery charger, it will be perfect.
