JVC Everio GZ-HM200 review

Does JVC's Everio GZ-HM200 do the job for casual shooting?

Price is right ; 20x optical zoom ; Dual card slot

Image quality ; Handling ; No hard drive

A neat little unit, but lacking in key areas

JVC Everio GZ-HM200 Camcorder Review

As far as mid-range HD camcorders go, the JVC GZ-HM200 ($579 MSRP) is a solid product. The sister-model to the GZ-HD300, the HM200 includes dual SD/SDHC memory card slots and offers a fairly straightforward shooting experience. The camcorder has some...

There are a ton of HD camcorders on the market that range between $400 and $800. Picking the best out of that bunch is a difficult task, but the GZ-HM200 is definitely a solid prospect. The camcorder offers an excellent value with an MSRP of $579, and...

JVC GZ-HM200

Some handling issues and cheap construction, but overall, a good mid-range model

Excellent color accuracy; Good low light color and noise

Poor low light sensitivity; Laser Touch is a pain to use

JVC Everio GZ-HM200

A very compact camcorder. I have only used it a few times but it seems quite easy to navigate through the menus and to transfer you recordings to PC. Seems like a very good programme to edit your recordings and burn them onto disc.

Very limited internal memory. I have had to buy a 4gb memory card to enhance the memory

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Eggcellent

We do like it as it is our first, compact, HD, flash based camcorder. Bought it as a "re-certified camcorder" and saved a lotta dough. As always, fast shipping, great prices from Newegg.

Small portable camcorder. HD is excellent when shooting outdoors with natural light

HD is grainy when shooting indoors without natural light. LED light provided by camera is a joke. Might as well not even came with one. Software for us is complicated. I'm 39, so I might just be officially "tech stupid", but I've figured out all the...
