JVC Everio GZ-MS130 review

 

Keeping standard-def minicamcorders competitive against cheaper pocket video cams capable of 720p HD video has basically come down to two features: storage and optical zoom. The JVC Everio GZ-MS130 packs the same 35x optical zoom as 2008's MS100 and...

Good video quality for its class; manual controls; small, comfortable design; remote control included.

No inputs; one-touch YouTube uploading requires bundled software; no optical image stabilization; thin grip strap.

The JVC Everio GZ-MS130 is a nice little flash-memory-based standard-def camcorder.

JVC Everio GZ-MS130- A Good Mini Camcorder For Stiff Budgets

 

There are cheaper hand video cams coming in the market and they are catching on fast on the sales of the minicamcorders, so the latter are thinking of new ways to keep a hold over the market. Optical zoom and storage are the two features where hand...

Good video quality, remote control included

Poor strap grip, nothing else

This is an entry level camcorder and if you want a recorder for Web that is easy to carry around then don't waste your time and get this one!

JVC America GZ-MS130BUS EVERIO-CAMCRDR FL 32GB 35X BLK - MSRP $349.99

 

Great camera overall. The picture feature is not great, but that's not what we bought it for. Great picture and sound pick up. Light on it is awesome! Remote is key for tri-pod filming. Software is lacking and useless. Do yourself a favor and just...

OK camera, lousy interface

 

Overall I am very unhappy with this because of file imcompatibility with almost all video software except included software that is not very good.

camera is easy to use & small and has OK video quality

file format is imcompatible with nearly all generally accepted video format and included JVC software is next to impossible to use. Video files must be converted with included lousy software and cannot be exported directly from camera to computer to be...

Very happy with it

 

I had been researching models by the more well-known brands like Sony, Canon, Samsung, but after seeing and trying this model in the department store, seeing the quality of the video, the interface, and high quality feel, I just went and bought it...

video quality is pretty good. Took pretty decent video in low light. 16GB Flash memory is the only way to go. HD-based cameras are heavier, cost more, use more battery, and worst of all are more delicate. interface is pretty good. The overall feel of...

none so far

As soon as I touched it, I knew it was the one!

 

I was shopping for a camcorder and after reading up on all of the current models out that were in my price range I headed out to get my hands on some and do some comparisons myself. I had handled cameras that were up to $600 but as soon as I handled...

Very compact size, lightweight, looks nice, solidly built, has built in storage and SD card slot for even more storage, touch screen interface w/o having to worry about getting smudges and fingerprints all over the crystal clear LCD display, so easy to...

Small and Simple! Easy to use and Convenient!

 

The night before Christmas Eve our camera died. With four kids anxiously awaiting the morning to open their gifts I rushed to the only store that was open and found that most of the cameras and camcorders were out of stock. I'd never owned a camcorder,...

JVC Everio GZ-MG130U review

 

I bought the GZ-MG130 online, from Pixmania, for a very good price, and I was pleased with the purchasing process - everything transferred smoothly, and it arrived on time (if not slightly late). I opened the camcorder, and everything was intact an...
