Anyone that is looking for their first digital camcorder or that would like to upgrade to a model that does not need discs, this is by far one of the best models that I've tested. The picture is superb and the software included will let you do just about anything to convert your videos onto DVD. br / br /The controls are very easy to get to and you can quickly navigate as fast as the action you are trying to capture on film. The screen is fully adjustable and can even be seen in bright sunlight. This is one electronic item that I would have trouble replacing if anything happened to it! br / br /I've only had one issue with this camcorder, which was resolved quite easily: I've got pretty large hands, and holding onto this camcorder, even with the image stability made taking snapshots nearly impossible due to blurriness. At the same time I had bought this camcorder, I also purchased the largest battery that will work with this model. The extended length of the batter on the camcorder allows for placement of a thumb without hitting any controls. It also allows for the camcorder to be held in a more stable manner. If you are not interested in a battery, I would strongly suggest a monopod or tripod for extra stability during filming.

JVC Everio GZ-MG330 30 GB Hard Disk Drive Camcorder with 35x Optical Zoom (Red) br / br / br / br /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 br /

Very nice cam, great zoom, good video quality. Image stabilizer is great! Only one drawback: my silver cam gets scratched very easily :(

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.
