After weeks of looking at all the camcorders out there (minidv, disk drive, memory card) I chose this one. Sure, it was easy to use but! the picture quality was something else. If you leave it in auto, it's hard pressed to give a good quality video. If you use it in manual mode sure it's better but not by much. It was too time consuming and cumbersome to adjust everything manually in order to get a good video. No matter what I tried, the highlights were blown out and even in low to medium sun, highlights on someone's skin were just too much for the camera to handle. And if I did find the perfect combination of settings (with manual mode) to give me a good quality video, the moment had passed. The small L.E.D light that comes built-in is pretty much worthless when it comes to shooting inside. Even with sufficient lighting inside, the camcorder is not that good. The manual that came with the product was substandard I feel. Didn't even discuss how to make adjustments in the manual mode, had

My wife and I are expecting so I started reasearching what cameras to buy. I was very confused at first with all the different models and options but eventually wanted something easy to use or else it might just gather dust. I settled on getting a camera that used memory cards because of fewer moving parts and the ability to easily transfer data to a computer. I visited stores in the area and I really liked the JVC Everio but the downside was there were only models with a hard drive. About a month later I found out there was a new JVC Everio model using SD cards and I quickly bought it. This camera is so easy to use it's great. I simply flip the viewer open and can start recording in a second. Great zoom, lightweight, and the lasertouch control panel makes it so easy to adjust settings. I just taped a two hour lecture the other day and it was easy. When I got home I transferred 4GB of data to my computer in minutes. My wife who has two left thumbs even finds it easy to use. Battery

I have had this camcorder for about a month. The main reason I bought this camcorder was for convenience. I have MiniDV camcorder as well, but I never got around to uploading video from camcorder to computer and then converting AVIs to mpeg to DVD. The workflow with MiniDV was too time-consuming and needed a lot of system resources (1 hr AVI takes about 13GB disk space!).
This camcorder was great. For around $320-ish, its great value. Its totally solid state, no moving parts. I use 16GB SDHC card (around $50-ish), that card can record about 3hr58min video in best quality. The battery lasts about 2 hrs. I doubt I will ever shoot more than 4 hr video in a day. you can always back up your video on a computer at the end of the day or buy multiple SDHC cards.
You can use the included USB cable or a SD card reader to upload mpeg files to a computer. You can upload video and burn a DVD in as little as 10 minutes (if you go straight to DVD and do not edit). You can also upload your video you-tube
