Outstanding CamcorderStrengths: Compact, lightweight, excellent indoor video quality, simple video uploading via supplied dock. Weakness: None Don't be mislead by biased, negative, so-called professional reviews! This camcorder is outstanding, and a great value when purchased from Beach Camera. The f1.2 aspheric lens does a great job shooting indoors. Zoom is smooth and quiet, and when transitions are smooth by the operater autofocus does a good job of keeping things in focus. Video quality is excellent-very crisp and bright even...

Go for it!Strengths: 1. Very handy 2. Good lens 3. No tape, no disc 4. Good features for great price Weakness: None at this point I have had this camcorder for a week now and I am really glad I made the Choise to buy this. I was first looking at the Sony but later realized that the JVC was having more features than the Sony and also costed less than the Sony. The best part is the HDD. No more tapes and no discs. I like the HDD feature and if 30GB is not enough JVC has the same model with 60GB. Overall I am very satisified...

Excellent camcorder while taking great pictures as...Strengths: Hard drive, hybrid video/picture mode, great quality, easy to use Weakness: None! After researching many different camcorders, I settled on this. I choose JVC because of my prior experience with their VHS and C-VHS camcorders and being happy with their performance. This camcorder does not disappoint at all! THe 30GB hard drive holds hours of high quality video without having to search for tapes. Battery life is decent, but it's best to keep it charged at all times. Taking...

Great CamcorderStrengths: Small size and weight, picture quality. Weakness: Not compatable with MAC without aditional software. Now that I have had this camera for a couple weeks, I can say I am very happy with the purchase so far. This camera is so easy to use and the video quality is better than I expected. The camera has a very small size. It measures about 4"x2.5"x2.5" and weighs less than a pound with its battery. It is easy to carry, although it's too big for most pockets. There is no viewfinder but a very nice...

GZ-MG255 30GB Hard Drive Camcorder (10x Opt, 300x...Strengths: Nice lens, plenty spaces (30GB), large LCD Weakness: 10X optical This is a pretty good elementary DV. 30GB hard drive provides plenty space for recording, and large LCD (2.7") gives more scence. The shortness is there is only 10X optical zoom. For those wanting to use it for watching sports games it is a little bit short.

Okay...so I found an issue
Strengths: Excellent...almost TOO good low light capability. Straightforward user interface, Outstanding video clarity. Small, compact, lightweight.
Weakness: Okay...so there IS a weakness...
After penning my stellar review above I found an issue...not a problem with the camera itself, but with file transfers to an iMac. I also figured out something about the wonderful f1.2 lens...it's almost too good at gathering low light! This evening I shot video in the living room with normal evening lighting...SUPERB clarity and color, though a noticable lag in finding focus when pointed at...
