JVC Everio HD Flash Memory Camcorder

World's Smallest and Slimmest Design It took JVC to make an HD camcorder so small and light. 30% smaller

...

compared to the previous year's, these models are the world's smallest and thinnest HD camcorders with built-in HDD*, making them easier to carry and enjoy than ever before. Full HD 1920x1080 Recording All of the image information you are capable of seeing on an HDTV display will be recorded at the camcorder. Without losing any visual information to start with, this native 1920x1080 resolution is maintained from recording to playback. 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 1920 x 1080. Stylish Color Variations The new HD Everio Cameras are available in three colors: Choose the one that best matches to your style or preference. (Available body colors differ by model) GZ-HM200 is available in Garnet Red, Sapphire Blue and Onyx Black. 20x Optical Zoom The Dynamic Zoom function uses nearly all of the effective pixels of the CMOS to achieve incredible zoom magnification of up to 20x without any degradation of optical picture quality. Auto Illumi. Light Turns on automatically so you can shoot brilliant images even in low light situations. 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. Convenient 2-Way Strap You can use it as either a grip belt or a wrist strap, whichever suits the occasion. When not in use, it fits snugly against the body to minimize storage space. New Laser Touch Operation An evolved version of our previous Laser Touch Operation, this system now allows Zooming and Recording using either the Laser Touch or standard zoom lever and REC button. Of course, browsing through indexes and menu selections is easy as ever. Digest Playback This function automatically selects highlight scenes from among the recorded content using our proprietary algorithm and plays back what looks like a coming attractions trailer for a movie. 60 minutes of footage is condensed into 5 minutes of highlight scene. 1920x1080/60P Output (HD Upconvert) Using the same technology as GENESSA HD displays, this function outputs a 1080 scanning

Great Secind Unit Camera

JVC Everio GZ-HM200 Dual SD High-Def Camcorder (Black)

This camcorder is a great second unit camera. The colors are spot on. 20X Zoom is fantastic. Face detection works. The digital stabilization is outstanding. Using 2 sdhc cards that switch from one to the other automatically is pure genius. I use older AVCHD canon's for my work and love using this camera to cover some of Canon's deficiencies i.e. 20X Zoom (Canon's have 10 and 12X) I hate using tele lenses because of the vignetting and other problems. Th digital stabilizion is amazing and better on the move than my Canon's with their optical. A benefit is the ability to mount this tiny camera on a moving vehicle (or RC helicopter) with digital stabilization it works great while optical image stabilization gets screwed up. The size enables you to stick it somewhere and leave it or get a cheap housing for underwater stuff. The size and instant on also make it a great grab and go - no fuss camera (especially with the face detection). This camcorder is exactly what I needed to augment my

Well, the one thing that made me buy this camera was the price. I bought it at my local Best Buy for $402 after taxes. I guess they had a clearance sale and that's why it was so cheap.

Good size and functions.
My only complaint with it, is that the picture is not "amazing" compared to other HD cameras, but hey, those cameras are like $900+
Also, the picture gets grainy in low light. Most of my shooting is outside in daylight, so I don't really care.

Buy it if you see is at a lower price than the regular price.

JVC Everio GZ-HM200 Dual SD High-Def Camcorder (Black)

My very first impression of the JVC NM200 was that it was very small, and that first impression has stuck with me. Every time I use it I'm reminded that it is about a 1/3 smaller than the other previous generation camcorders I've used. However, don't let the size fool you, this guy is packed with features and is easily the best camcorder I've ever owned. First off, the Excellent: 1. The flip screen rotates a full 360 degrees (270 degrees one direction and the remaining 90 the opposite direction). This makes filming yourself easy since you can constantly monitor the framing. The screen is also very high quality and accurately displays what the camera is aimed at as well as recorded videos. 2. The video quality if fantastic, especially if you have good light (not making Paris Hilton videos on super dark rooms). The HD quality is simply great and transfers to my 42" TV both from the live feed option or burned to a BlueRay. 3. The layout and design of the camcorder is easy to use and

intuitive. I never cracked the manual since all the menus were easy to navigate. If you've used a camcorder before, you'll find this one especially easy to use. 4. Dual SDHC cards! This means you can have 64gb of on board memory (over 7 hours of full resolution HD recording) for just about $180, or 32gb of memory for under $100. Gone are the days of tapes, slow internal hard drives, and other lesser options. SDHC slots also makes it very easy to swap multiple cards in and out if you want to shoot video for an even longer time. The Good: 1. The touch sensitive scroll wheel--well not really a wheel but a touch sensor strip--takes a bit of getting used to but works really well once you've mastered it. It makes navigating menus really easy, but does take a bit of time to master. 2. Takes pretty good static images. They're not as good as a nice digital camera, but they're plenty good enough for most applications that don't involve blowing them up to 11x17. 3. The battery charges quickly. I can get a full charge in a couple hours. This makes up for negative point #4 below. The Bad (although not awful) 1. You can only record to one of the SDHC cards at a time. You must define one as the save location for video and the other as the save location for static images. You can, however, fill up one card and then switch video to the other card. It would have been nicer if the camcorder did this for you. 2. Audio quality is not that great. Of course any serious video work needs a dedicated mic so it's probably not fair to list this as a complaint, but its worth mentioning that the audio will not impress you unless you are very close to the target source. 3. Battery life isn't that long. I can get 2-3 hours of continuous use, but even with the camcorder off the battery slowly loses juice so that 2-3 days of inactivity leave the battery only 1/2 full. 4. Battery location is a bit odd. It actually locks unto the back of the camcorder and is fully external. This isn't that big of a deal, but it does get a bit hot and I thought it worth noting. 5. No external battery charger or dock it provided. This means you must plug in the whole camcorder to charge it. This is a pain, especially if you decide to buy an additional battery, although a kit like this Two(2) Spare NB2L Batteries + Charger solves that problem. SUMMARY: The GZ-HM200 is a fantastic camcorder in a small package. It is full featured, easy to use, and takes great HD video. Well worth the price.

JVC Everio GZ-HM200 Dual SD High-Def Camcorder (Black)

This JVC is the first camcorder I've ever owned, and I have to confess I was concerned it would be difficult to figure out given that I only understand about half of the lengthy product description above! I was pleased to discover that although reading all the instructions carefully would likely yield the best results, I was nevertheless able to shoot some great video footage my first time out once the battery was charged. The video I took outdoors was excellent quality, and I know the camcorder's image stabilization did a good job of mitigating my unfortunate tendency to jiggle it while filming. I was also impressed by the quality of the snapshots I took with this camera, and would feel confident relying on this camera for both video and still photo needs while traveling. My indoor video was not as great, but I'm willing to chalk that up to user-ignorance rather than camera defect. I suspect it is here that reading the instructions comes in handy; I didn't realize that the camera
