excellent, i love itStrengths: compact, easy handle, professional look, hard drive storage, still photo Weakness: battery, focus speed, stabilizer, price I bought this camcorder one month ago at price of $469, and used it all the way during my CA trip. It worked pretty well. The 5 mega pixel sensor and a 10x zoom lens provide much better effects than the canon lower end camcorder I used before. The most impressive merits of this camcorder are: the black, compact professional look; easy handle design, personalized menu; no hassle hard drive...

DisappointedStrengths: Video shot while on tripod. Still picture performance. Weakness: Image stabilization. Have to remove from tripod to get at SD card slot. I bought one of these from BuyDig. It was my first ever camcorder purchase. The video and stills were very nice, not having to fuss with mini DVD's or tapes was awesome. However, video taken with the electronic stabilization enabled was much "worse" quality when compared to that shot on a tripod. As I need a handheld what with a new baby on the way, tripod shooting to get good quality video just...

satisfiedStrengths: I bought this as a gift. I like its camera funtion, it has good picture effect. I alos like its manual funtions. Weakness: As a camcorder, I would say it is not the best. Overall, I like this camcorder. It is small and easy to hold. I like the black color. The best part I like is that I don't need to change tapes and buy tapes, do not need to transfer the video from the camcorder to my computer. And I don't need to take my camera with me on the trip.

JVC Everio GZ-MG555
Like most consumer camcorders, the Everio GZ-MG555 comes with still picture capability that can take some stunning images. This is a common feature in camcorders, but the quality in the GZ-MG555 outperforms in this area. The camera can easily toggle between camera and picture mode by simply pressing up on the dial switch. For the sake of conserving space, the GZ-MG555 allows you to select either... TopAdvertisement

Unbelievable video/stills from JVC
Strengths: - Very light. - Very Small. - Easy to use. (You don't even need to read de manual, very intuitive) - Excellent still photos. - Good video. - Flash and light in camera.
Weakness: - In dark places, blury video. - You need extra batteries. I recomend the 815 (lasts around 2.5 hrs., not to big), 808 (comes with camera, small but only lasts 1 hour), 823 (last more than 3.5 hrs.,
Overall, If you are a practical person, that will appreciate portability and ease of use more than perfect image (although it's not bad at all), I really recomend this camera.
