JVC GZ-MG135

OK – For the beginner this is ideal,easy to use, just point and begin recording. The software program is excellent and is use and making your own productions are great fun. If you want a camcorder to learn with this the camera. Ease of use for beginner. software with package great and easy to use. Manual focus difficult to use, Very poor quality in poor light areas.

Good – A compact and easy to use HDD recorder. The Hard Drive simplicity and control enables continuous recording without need for concern or interuption. Quality in Ultra Fine is very good and editing suite seems useful. A recent purchase that has been used for over 12 hours with no issues. Size and flexibility of use with hard drive, zoom is smoother than replaced Panasonic. Even using normal recording the quality is reasonable. Menu and controls are logical after initial review of instructions. None so far, this is a recent purchase. Perhaps some issues in low light quality but this is yet to be compared to older mini DV.

Good – A great HDD Camcorder easy use controls heaps of record time, the dock is a great idea, makes charging copying and playback ultra easy Compact, do silly disc's or tapes, easy to use, The DOCK !!!!!! Havent found any.
