  • great concept, but the video quality is not

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 13, 2006
    Pros: Great concept! Extremely user-friendly. Powerful zoom. Extra features.
    Cons: EXPENSIVE! Video quality is questionable. 16:9 files stretched back to 4:3 when played.

    Summary: It took me several months of waiting for a good deal on some new technology. I heard enough stories about miniDV, DVD etc. from friends and I think those cameras are not really user-friendly and convenient... Got a good deal at Costco for this one, ... read more

    Pros: No tapes, DVD's. 30 GB Hard Drive. Awesome sound quality. Small and lightweight.
    Cons: Poor video quality for an expensive Hard drive camera The .mod files are a pain

    Summary: I got the JVC Everio GZ-MG37u Camcorder using my Air Miles program. It did cost me 7600 air miles which at the average cost per mile being .11 cents or so made this camera worth about $836 CAN. All that being said, for that price don't buy this camera. ... read more

    Pros: Compact size and HDD Format. Very good outdoor performance
    Cons: .mod file format and indoor/lower lighting conditions

    Summary: The Everio offers many great things. It is incredibly small, lightweight and compact. The HDD is simply awesome when on trips and the outdoors in general as you are saved the hassle of carrying and cueing up tapes. You will also find that the outdoor ... read more

    Pros: excellent videos, easy file transfer, easy archiving of files
    Cons: no viewfinder, worthless still camera, proprietary video file format

    Summary: The JVC Everio GZ-MG37 is a leap forward in integration for the digital home. Over the years I had been happy with my previous camcorders, including a now historic 1984 over the shoulder VHS model. I have usually waited for quantum leaps in ... read more

  • Why kill the convenience of HD with proprietary .mod format?

    Pros: small. big HD. intuitive.
    Cons: .mod video format.

    Summary: I bought the $500+ JVC Everio GZ-MG37u yesterday based upon the small physical size, large 30GB HD, and ease-of-use of HD over tape. What the marketing doesn't tell you (besides splashing "MPEG2 video" on the box) is that the camera exports video files

  • AWESOME CAMERA

    Pros: Everything. Size, ease of use, hard drive, quality, ect.
    Cons: Goofy people that think it's a digital picture camera and give it bad reviews.

    Summary: I am 100% happy with my camera. It is compact, good quality, and easy to use. I got this camera for my birthday and I have had a blast with it ever since. I can't wait to have babies and record them growing up. My wife and I record all family events

    Pros: Small, fairly easy to set up and use. Good zoom lens aboard
    Cons: Too small for larger hands to control. No viewfinder, only flip out screen

    Summary: I purchased this camera while on vacation in Waikiki in April. At Costco, the price was $699. It has all the features most want, nice size optical zoom lens, 7 hour record time on a hard drive, still snapshot capability. I played the videos back through

  • Great step into the future.

    Pros: 1hr transfer in 5min, mpg supported by many editors,size
    Cons: pictures good for emailing or web, native 16:9 is just a mimic

    Summary: Say no more to tapes.I just bought the GZ-MG37 and was up and running the camera in a short time. My biggest leap in 9 years from that of VHS-C. I can transfer the .mod files to the PC hard drive and you just rename the extension file to .mpg, and thats
