JVC Everio GZ-MG20 review

 

JVC Everio GZ-MG20

Stores tons of video; excellent zoom reach; very small.

Terrible battery life; mediocre video quality; grainy low-light footage; requires a computer or stand-alone DVD burner.

Though the short battery life and mediocre image quality are frustrating, the JVC Everio GZ-MG20U's amazing recording capacity and tiny size still make it an enticing device.

Still-image quality is terrible. The VGA-resolution images lack detail and are grainy no matter what the lighting conditions.

Ease of use, small size and light weight. Hard disk - no tapes to worry about.

Battery life could be better.
