Does anyone own a JVC Everio?

Question

I'm thinking of buying my boyfriend a JVC Everio for christmas. We looked at them at the store and he seemed to like it, but I'd just like to hear other peoples opinions on it. If its easy to use, etc.

Thank you!

Answer 1

JVC was an innovator of the HDD camcorder, however many other companies have improved on the design and performance since then.

If you're looking at a HDD camera, I would reccommend Panasonic or Canon, they tend to have a better build and better lenses, thus giving you better looking video, more options, and a longer-lasting product.

All of the Canon HDD camcorders are good, if looking at Panasonic, be sure to get one with a Leica lens. Great video quality!
