JVC Everio GZ-HD300

 

James finds out whether JVC's Everio GZ-HD300 camcorder strikes the right balance between image quality and size.

The JVC Everio GZ-HD300, like other Everios before it, is a bit of a maverick. Although a number of the smaller camcorder manufacturers have attempted to shoehorn HD video quality into a pocket-friendly format, only Sony's HDR-TG3 has come close to...

PC Pro: Product Reviews: JVC Everio GZ-HD300

 

Better HD image quality than you would expect for a camcorder so small, but the price is a little high.

Best Camera for the Price

 

I just bought this camera, and tested it ... the video/picture quality is very good/excellent, in normal/good light conditions but in medium light conditions its crappy, so if you know you will film at night or in low light conditions this is...

Consumer review by:

very good product for the price

 

Great camera, but a bit too small and light for the long periods I have to film for as the strap is very uncomfortable.

Consumer review by:

never recveived the camcorder

 

Ordered this camera in preparation for a holiday. Received an inferior camcorder from the company instead of the one ordered. Eventually received a refund after 3-4 weeks after returning the incorrect goods. Would not use the company again, poor...

Price is excelent. very small and attractive. Easy to use

Poor low light capabilities, everything else above average

 

Poor low light capabilities, everything else above average

I got annoyed by cameras that underperform in low light conditions, i.e. indoors. This camera performs rubbish in low light conditions and average indoor conditions. It claims to be 1024i capable but footage shot indoors is grainy and almost mpeg like...
