Summary: What a Great Camera!!!
Comment: JVC Everio GZ-MG330 30 GB Hard Disk Drive Camcorder with 35x Optical Zoom (Red)
I bought this camera over the weekend from Best Buy as an open box buy for $339 with out really shopping around. I took the camera home and instantly started to use it. I instantly was impressed. This camera is so user friendly, even my wife was able to use it. This camera, I could tell, was a great buy, so I thought. I used the camera all day. We went to a carnival and little league baseball game and I used it all day. When I got home I immediately hooked it up to my 1080p 65" Samsung TV. I was blown away. The quality was HD. I was soooo happy. I then went to my PC and downloaded all of the editing software that came with the Camera. You really need that software. The reason is, my vista Movie Maker does not play back the footage in the great quality that it is. That's the only con. Their video editing software is just as easy and maybe better than Movie Maker. So I am very Happy!! Very easy to transfer from the camera to my PC. VERY EASY! I started to shop around to see if I could find the camera cheaper and I did. Amazon had it $25 less than best buy, plus it was not an open box. Amazon sold it to me brand new. Best buy stinks. At least they gave me all of my money back with zero restocking fee since it was an open box. FYI LOVE THE CAMERA

Summary: Good deal for a camcorder
Comment: Its a good camera for its price. 35X zoom with 30GB hard drive is really great. The battery life is not bad either. I used it on my Vegas trip and didn't have battery issues.Although I wish if the power off button was outside instead of being inside the LCD flap. Overall I do like the camera. Its my first JVC camera and I love it.

Summary: Easy recording, burning software not intuitive
Comment: Pleased with the ease of use of the camera. Picture quality is decent for the video's I will be making and price paid. Has limitations in low light but I knew that at time of purchase. Zoom is amazing. Still trying to figure out the burning software. I assumed it would be pretty intuitive and easy to select chapters for burning. Like any software I expect it to get easier the more I use it. All in all very happy with the camera, ease of use, and quality for the price.

Summary: Picture good and easy to use but..
Comment: I purchased this camera because I have a JVC camcorder and for my current needs size and weight are issues. Picture quality is certainly better than tape seems easy to navigate the menu's once you use it for a little while. My two complaints are: the minor one is that unlike my other JVC I can't embed the date in the movie which I find useful to date images. The second and most annoying is that when you back up to PC to save or move files to a movie editing program it doesn't save them in the order they were taken. The event files are out of sequence and according to JVC customer service they are listed by files size. So to get around this I have to look at each file individually at date and time, rename it so I can get it back into the sequential order I made the movies in. I don't pretend to understand the logic of the people who created the software, but when I take movie today and it creates a file, I don't want to see it in with files that are created a week from today. JVC says there is nothing they can do, if anyone else knows a better work around I would love to hear it. As it stands now my next camera won't be a JVC if I have to do this much work to create a movie and advised JVC of that. (for all the good it is going to do)
