Ease of Use
Is this JVC easy to use? It is a light camera, so you won't have troubles carrying it. I didn't like the fact that there wasn't no instruction manual so that's why I don't fully can control it.

Charging

It's very easy to charge up the battery, it slots onto the back of the camera. You just have to plug the cable into the AV sectuib and after that into the mains. After that, it will quickly recharge.

Holding

This is an essential part of a camcorder's reputation. Feeling all the buttons and having it fit into the palm gives you an unique sensation of control and professionalism.

Recording

Say au revoir to those full-of-functions camcorders. JVC Everio is a camera with which you can easily record - point and shoot. I am in love with that sound when pressing the Record button...

Playback

You can playback the footage that you've filmed by following simple steps. Again, simplicity is the leading quality of this camcorder .

Upload

It's just perfect! Now I understand why you don't need instructions. It is just too simple, like a kid toy. Two moves and your upload, either to PC or TV begins.

Zoom

The zoom is almost at 40x, even though there it is said that it has only 30x. I managed to see birds from tries that i haven't even heard. Also, it is not a bad zoom, it clears the image.

Good Points

Lightweight: The camera is incredibly light

Small: The camera is very compact and it fits into the palm of your hand very easily.

Colour: The colour makes the camera very stylish.

Easy: You don't have to be a pro to work with it.

Battery Charge: It is amazingly quick to charge up the battery.

LCD Screen: The quality is just awesome, the Screen is like a place for pixels to

30 GB Hard Disk: it is very small, but has 30 giga...

Bad Points
Quick Restart: You'll have to wait sometimes to much until the screen finally disappears...And this is a little bothering if you take many photos daily.

Still Image Quality: You have the opportunity to take steals from the footage. Instruction

Manual: it doesn't exist!

You can find this JVC Everio camcorder at very good prices, from 200 to 300 dollars. I will certainly affirm that those money are well worth the camcorder. It s a brand on the marke iat and they just can't deceive buyers by providing bad quality. This is a kind of gadget that you get attached to. When I go out, I always take my camcorder with. You just can't never know what places you'll attend and things you're going to see.
