JVC Everio GZ-MG505

By Lori Grunin on 03 August 2006

A well-designed hard-disk-based camcorder, the JVC Everio GZ-MG505 produces video and stills that look great on TV. But its price might make you hit Pause.

    • Good: Easy to use menus, great sound with the add on mic, easy to hold and feels more secure than any camera i have ever used, drop protection for the HDD
    • Bad: Poor battery life with supplied battery, hard to fit camera in any sort of carry case with large capacity battery attached!

    Just the easiest to use camcorder ever !

    Video on the PC in my case was quiet good so i can only assume there is more to the quality on the pc than just simply transfering it

    • Good: Hard Disk, Easy Quick PC Transfer, Size, Controls, Look
    • Bad: Video image quality not the best for the price. Battery that comes with the camera drains way too quick

    Everything A1 except the video quality

    • Good: Small and light
      Stores loads of video compared to other models
    • Bad: Must use the LCD for shooting

    Great little compact camcorder
