Full Review - Conclusion

Conclusion

There’s no question JVC had definitely made some progress with its hard-disc drive camcorders. By using three CCDs, annoying digital noise is greatly eliminated. The camcorder focuses quickly, is nicely designed other than a floppy lens cap but pure video quality leaves something to be desired. Colors really didn’t have much pop and in some cases were just plain off the target. And at this price, it’s tough to recommend. 

Pros:
  • Massive storage (7 hours of MPEG2 video)
  • Much less video noise than earlier Everios
  • Fast focusing and response
  • Nice ergonomics 
Cons:
  • Colors don’t have pop
  • Color accuracy off target
