- Great while it lasted
I purchased this camera in December of 2005 to use to record the milestones of my then 6 month old son. I ended up using it sparingly, as the battery would drain quickly while not being used, so everytime I went to use it, I had to remember to charge it up. But that's not that uncommon with rechargeable batteries, so I got used to it.

The biggist issue that 22 months after I bought it (Halloween 2007), I went to record my son for Halloween and got an error message that said "Lens ... Read More

- Good Quality for the price....
This camera has worked really well. I use it often in a Gym videoing High School Basketball and the lighting in a gym has not been a problem and been very clear...

I do wish it had a night vision capability... it would help in really low lighting situations... The Zoom button is hard to get if you have big hands... but not a negative for me..

Overall a very good camera...

- MY JVCEVERIO MG40 AS AN EXPERIENCED CAMERA USER. EVEN TOOK COURSE IN COLLEGE
I GIVE 2 POINTS AS I CANNOT ACCESS MY VIDEO FOOTAGE TO COMMENT ON QUALITY. THE CAMERA IS EASY TO RECORD. IT IS LIKE ALL OTHER CAMCORDERS. THE PRINT ON THE CAMERA IS VERY DIFFICULT TO READ EVEN WITH GLASSES. I AM NO TECHNOPEASANT BY ANY MEANS. I HAVE READ AND REREAD THE INSTRUCTIONS. I CAN NOT GET THE CAMERA TO REWIND OR PLAYBACK. I CALLED JVC. YESTERDAY I WAS ON HOLD FOR 45 MIN. WHEN A FEMALE PICKS UP THE PHONE, SAYS, I THINK! CALL BACK TOMORROW AND SLAMMED THE PHONE DOWN. I TRIED FOR HOURS ... Read More

- works ok but...
This camera is easy to operate but when it comes to getting the footage on the camera turned into a DVD it is not so easy. I am a fairly comfortable and experienced computer user but not an expert. The software included has very inadequate instructions. For example it says "never plug the camera into the computer while the camera is turned on". Later it says "don't ever turn the camera on or off with it plugged into the computer". Hmmm, this makes it awfully hard to transfer files! An email to JVC customer ... Read More

- Great little camera, but night shooting a little grainy.
I really like the long record time of this camera. I bought this camera for my trip to Europe, and it was great. It's small, yet powerful. I could record off and on for days before having to dump the movies on my laptop. I would suggest getting a second battery, preferably the 3 hour. The 5 hour is almost the size of the camcorder itself, and made it heavier.

It was hard to find a case that is small enough for it, yet big enough to hold extra stuff like batteries. I bought the: CASE LOGIC ... Read More
