JVC Everio GZ-MG230 30GB Hard Disk Drive Camcorder

 

It's the same as the 330 except the zoom is 28x optical zoom. I bought my gz-mg230 at walmart on Sale for It50. I love it. The 230 is the best I have owned. Just Google JVC GZ-MG230 and you can get ALL the info you need. I also bought a camera lite at...

JVC Everio GZ-MG230 30GB Hard Disk Drive Camcorder

 

The lack of support for this camera is amazing. I'll agree with Kevin in a previous review. It's like it doesn't exist. If you search th JVC for the mg330 there's page after page of information. For the mg230–nothing.

JVC Everio GZ-MG230 30GB Hard Disk Drive Camcorder

 

This camera has no lighting or color correction of any kind. You will need to adjust this by buying an external light to attach to the outside.

Perfect for what I wanted

 

Bought this to travel with. We use it to record canine agility trials. Easy to transfer trial videos to the computer, edit them together (change .mod extension to .mpg) and make DVDs.

Compact, great picture quality even when not at highest settings, travels well, great capacity

Anti-shake not quite up to some other brands, but I guess it's hard to stablize a 700x zoom

Not good

 

Great price, great features

DOA. Like another reviewer, it arrived and would not charge the battery. Worked on ac power but shut off immediately under battery power. Will have to see how long until I get my replacement

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Small and packed with features

 

If you are traveling with this camera, since there is no tape drive, the TSA allows this to remain in your hand luggage. Tested this in SFO, ORD, DTW, SYD, AKL airports. There was a sign that said "remove video recorders with a tape drive".

Very easy to use, bought it for a trip to Australia, and forgot to bring the manual. It was easy to figure out, and took fantastic quality video. It is so small that it fits into a shirt pocket. Battery life is fantastic, lasted all day with only...

None what so ever
