Digital Still Images
Every Everio can conveniently record digital still images. Just switch to the image mode and then press the snapshot button. Record your snapshot to either the HDD or a micro SD card. It's your choice. The snapshot will record up to 832 x 624.
Stylish Color Variations
New Everio Hybrid Cameras are available in four colors: DIAMOND Silver, SAPPHIRE Blue, RUBY Red, and ONYX black. Choose the one that best matches to your style or preference. (Available body colors differ by model)
40x Dynamic Zoom
The Dynamic Zoom function uses nearly all of the effective pixels of the CCD to achieve incredible zoom magnification of up to 40x without any degradation of optical picture quality.
Auto Power ON/OFF & Auto Lens Cover
With Everio, you don't have to use the power switch each time you operate because the power is linked to the LCD's opening and closing. Just open the LCD; the power turns on and the lens cover automatically opens. Just close the LCD to power off and close the lens cover too.
Quick Restart
In combination with Auto Power ON, you're ready to shoot in about 1 second when the LCD is re-opened. Never miss a crucial moment.

 Great For a Hobbyist Like Me July 3, 2010

This is actually a teen's review. I got this camcorder just over eight months ago and I love it! I'm a hobbyist videoer, so it's wonderful! The battery life is okay(two hours), but I have the biggest one available on order right now.JVC BN-VF823U 2190-mAh Rechargeable Data Battery for JVC MiniDV and Everio Camcorders It's a little pricey, but worth it.
Okay, back to the camcorder. The software is lame. Once you've imported your video into their software you can't use it in any other editing programs. The quality goes way downhill, and it doesn't fill the whole frame. All their software does is edit it and throw it onto a DVD with a VERY simple menu. No titles, no transitions, nothing fun. The only title is on the menu. It also pauses at the end of each video clip, so it doesn't look smooth and polished. Windows Movie Maker works, but as a more serious video hobbyist I use Corel VideoStudio ProX3.Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 JUST MAKE SURE TO IMPORT IT WITH YOUR EDITING SOFTWARE, NOT THE SOFTWARE PROVIDED WITH THE CAMERA!!!!!! Some reviewers say that a drawback is that it records in only .MOD format, but I haven't run into any problems with that. I haven't tried the HDMI output, but it only goes up to 480p. As for the zoom, I never use the Laser Touch zoom, I use the toggle on the top. It has 35x optical zoom, which is VERY nice. (I never use the Dynamic zoom) I like the fact that the lens cover is automatic, and that all you have to do to turn the camcorder on is open the LCD cavity. The Laser Touch is nice. I like it LOTS better than Sony's touch screen. One downside is that the Laser Touch record button makes it seem like you're recording when you're actually not.
The only big stinker (besides the software) on this camcorder is the still photo. They are always grainy. But this is not a digital camera, nor did I buy it for that. A separate digital camera is always better.
In closing, this is a great little camera for recording events, and it's probably the best camcorder you can get without going hd. I use it a lot.
Thanks for reading this review!

I love this camera. It is easy to use. Download to a disc or computer is simple (I have windows 7). playback on TV is very easy. The only thing I would recommend would be to have an extra charged battery on hand. You get about an hour and a half of charged time. If you can plug your camera in to an outlet to video, even better.
The quality of video is great too.
Pleasantly surprised at ease of use March 21, 2010

We bought the camera to replace our 10-year old Panasonic PV-L50 VHS camcorder. I tested a display model at a local Best Buy and was amazed at the clarity of the pciture when I zoomed to maximum and was able to read clearly a small sign (letters between 1/2-inch and 1-inch high) about 60 feet at the end of the aisle). The display model was the last one available, so I passed on it there, and bought it through Amazon.
The JVC is light and easy to hold. The "record" button is easily accessible without being too close that you can accidentally hit it.
Before buying, I read reviews about JVC cameras and was somewhat concerned about ease of editing film clips. The reviews made it seem a complex process. I'm a novice with digital camcorders, so this was my biggest fear. As it turns out, once I became familiar with Windows Movie Maker, there was nothing to fear. If you're unfamiliar with Windows Movie Maker (it came with my Windows Vista), be prepared to spend an hour or two to get familiar with that program - editing a couple of clips, splicing them together with the storyboard feature, and successfully saving it to a CD or hard drive.
Look at getting the DB Roth deluxe accessory kit for tripods, carrying case, long-lasting battery, and other useful acessories.

What a piece of junk, I wish I could return this thing. Every time I transfer files to my computer and then I turn the camera on it says there are corrupted files on the camera. The quality of pictures this thing takes is horrible but video is pretty good. Transferring the videos to my computer is more difficult than what it needs to be...............DO NOT BUY, I WILL SEND YOU MY PIECE OF JUNK
Good Quality February 1, 2010
