  • i got this for christmas

  • the only good thing about this is the 70x zoom

  • I have it, it sucks. its charging right now -.-

  • I have a JVC HDD 30gb Camcorder Everio and I accidently deleted my grandson talent show :( on the hard drive is there any way I can retrieve it.

    I Hope to hear good news from you soon :)

    Thank You

  • how do you improve the camera quality

  • i have 2 of them and bought them both for $650 a couple years ago. The quality is pretty bad. is there any way to make the quality better

  • i am looking for some information about camcorders, thanks for the comment.

  • i m looking for the camcorders, thanks fore the input

  • Is the jvc gz-mg530 better?

  • Can you please tell me how i can get panoramic view when i record with the everio camera? i cant figure it out. i already got the ultra fine quality HD thingy done. i have those black bars on the side like u do

  • The sound quality is garbage, there's no audio-in, and it's picture quality is ok. It has INSANE zoom.

  • You can burn a dvd from here also. They don't tell u that.

  • Anyway, the performance is very close, BUT best result are with manual settings and most users just don't know anything about that. When they hear I use only Manual Focus on my D5000 to film something, most of them say that is impossible. Well, it only has MF :D I'm starting to like more and more DSLRs as movie makers.

  • I bought this as my first camera, was EXTREMELY disappointed. at the time i was about...12, and though HDD stood for High Definition ... and thought maybe the extra 'd' was for drive or something. but anyway, i recently bought my second camera, the Sony HDR-CX550v ....OH MY GOD. PERFECT

  • @CalebStoneCrowe - Compare 550 to JVC GZ HM1 to be fair. But then again, Sony is more user-friendly.

  • @kaymanul Dang!

  • on mine it can only go to 2 hours and 10 minutes

  • Can It use a fisheye lens?

  • @0Mjschott7 nope

  • @Mike10508 Buddy in order to record game footage you need a game bridge adapter with that camera I think

  • Lens Size?????

  • I have a camera exactly the same but it`s silver

  • @TheGoofygangsta same!

  • can you put a fisheye on it?

  • ya i got a baby death lens on mine u just need to buy an adapter ring

  • i brought this camera as my first camera after this i brough a cannon xm2 i currently use and xl2 i was disapointed with this camera as it has no aux mics ports

  • It has a midro wave?! jk

  • When you first open the box and put it on the charger what is the recommended charge time??

  • About 14 hours, so basically just plug it in when you go to bed when you wake up it should be good to go

  • i hve this camera, but im wondering, can they be used with a baby death lens? somebody please repley.

  • if its the right size then sure

  • if the sizes are the same

  • I got this camcorder a while ago in black 60 gb version and utsban awesome camera

  • The ones they have on HSN is the GZ-MG630 they also have a 60 GB HD compared to 30 GB on the one in this clip.

    So if you got this exact same one you can't compare the price to the one on HSN.

    Also I wouldn't brag to much about getting this one for $269, they have alot of them on Ebay for $229 with free shipping.

  • same

  • Sold!!

  • i have a few questions. does this camera have a light? can this camera use a handle? lastly, can you put a fisheye on it?

  • u could get a light seperately but not for this camera. u can get a handle,it fits where the tripod goes. look up camera handles on google. and if u get a gz-mg330 model u can use a 30.5 stepup ring and 0.43mm fisheye. im getting this camera for my bday so im researchin a lot. message me for links to the fisheye and stepup ring site

  • alright. thanks alot man

  • yes it has a light, yes it can use a handle, and im not sure about a fish eye

  • yes to all your questions

  • ya you can put a fisheye on it

  • so am i

  • It's not HD?

  • im gettin this forr christmas

  • its a great camcorder!!! :)

  • i need help. can i get one for between 300-400$.  and can it hold a handle and fisheye lens? please comment or message me back

  • there $329 on both HSN and bestbuy if your still looking

  • lol i got mine for $269

  • How do I upload the videos to my Mac??

  • I have the EXACT same camera and I don't know how to get my videos on the computer and I want to put them on YouTube. Can you help? P.S IT'S AN AWESOME CAMERA!

  • I have one too :>

    Plug in your USB cable to your PC and camcorder, and then a new disk will appear in My Computer. Go in to the new disk and under one of the folders is a folder called "Streaming", your movies are in there, you can upload your vids from there to youtube etc

  • I tried that. I plugged it in and did every thing like u said and it said it can't open the files. It might be cuz my everio disk isn't installed. I lost my dick tho :(

  • Check the JVC website for a free download, or call jvc helpline give them the camera info and ask them to send you some replacement disks...

  • if u making a video can pause the video and un pause it if not plztell me

  • what size fish eye do i put on this?

  • Any kind you would like. But you have to have a 30.5 stepup or step down ring. hope that helps.

  • i have one that i got for $20 dollars from a friend and i love it...ut mine is 80 gb hard drive

  • its really nice i have 1

  • were do u get them for cheap

  • i got mine for 400$

  • i got mine for 299 euro

  • Nice video, just want to clear up some things, although USB 2.0 is capable of 480mbps, the camcorders HDD is not near capable of that speed nor a 5400 or even 7200rpm computer HDD. Also, if optical zoom is all your interested in, Sony has camcorders that go up to 60x optical zoom, just a tip though =)

  • i desktop hard drive is capable of 480 mpbs easily most modern drives at 7200 rpm can sustain 75 MBps that is 600 mbps

    the HDD in the everio is about 10 MBps or 80 mbps

  • I have a 5400rpm HDD in my notebook and it sustains around 50MBps or 400mpbs I should have done the maths to check if 7200rpm drives are capable of it, sorry, thanks for clearing that up! Although it still holds true that the cameras HDD is not capable of 480mbps, unless someone can prove me wrong again lol. Seriously though, thanks for that, I was giving misleading info, not good.

  • can you put a fisheye or wide angle lens on this?

  • hellyeah you can, find the thread size.

  • just got one today with the 80GB. and all i can say is that it's is the closest thing to a pro camera

  • i agree I have one too

  • how muchh was it?

  • with a 15 dollar case it was about 800 dollars. CDN WITH tax including GST and PST

  • wow i don't have that kind of money so im getting a cheaper one

  • Well, it's an AWESOME camera but if you don't have the money, you can check out the Flip HD. Not as good but cheap! About 200 dollars.

  • lol u can get one same kind but not hybrid same thing if not better for like 300-400 if u look around bcz there is def rent models

  • This is a great SD Camera and i have it although my dad doesn't realize that it has very nice lens. so he takes the camera to cambodia and let random people touch the lens. but in all great for small home videos

  • i just bought that camera and i hate it...i cant even import videos to my computer..its a piece of shit

  • yea when i first got one i was amazed at the clarity of the camera and everything but it got annoying when i uploaded the videos and they were in a MOD format and i couldnt do anything with them so i just got a video converter and i just convert the footage to AVI

  • please canyou tell me how you got it.

  • how i got the converter or the camera?

  • ya you can get a fisheye for it i got a clip on raynox but you can get a better one (the size is 30.5 mm)

  • What kind of fish eye lens would i get with that?

  • its about 170 pounds it said in currys

  • It costs about £250

  • 299 samething tho im getting one for chrismas

  • Any idea how long the battery lasts and how much a spare would cost please? Thanks from Eugene in Wexford Irl

    Would it be suitable for paragliding?

  • sorry people but how much does it cost?

  • I got the same except with 120 gb and hdmi output..

  • lol. i got the same thing except the hard drive is 80 gb and i got 40 zoom. And it is black! :D

  • Nice! Which PowerDirector comes with it?

    5/5

  • is this a camera for the youtuber

  • It is. It has a one touch upload for Youtube. I just bought it today :D

  • awsome do you know if it has a pause button

  • Yeap. You just press the Recording button again. It pauses. And to stop, there's the touch button near the LCD. :)

  • JVC sucks! I bought a JVC HD 300A and it is garbage. You have to have a separate hard drive or DVD burner to archive your shots and, in my case the HD USB cable was not in the brand new unopened box! To make matters worse my $200- cash back offer was not honored and there is no way to contact them locally - try and call these grubs on the phone and you have to send a snail mail complaint to a post office box in a Sydney slum! Which they don't reply to! JVC should stand for Just Very Crummy!

  • its awesome

  • what is the size of the thread on the lens?

  • i have the same , you can very good edit films taken with this camera!!!

  • I have this same one, smae color and everything >:P

  • can u put a fisheye/ wide angle lens on that??

  • it comes with a fish-eye program and you can put a wide lens on it!

  • its wayyy to exspensive

  • no. i got the same thing except it is 80 gb hard drive and got 40 zoom for $230 at hhgregg.

  • got one of these today there pretty good

  • The image quality sucks. Also such a hassle to upload to your computer.

  • .... upload videos to your computer and convert them to AVI. or which ever file you want.

  • What format does it record in .mov???

  • I dont know why people complain and claim you have to convert it.. you dont.

    It saves the files in MPG format. The thing is, it NAMES them as a .MOD file. All you have to do when you get it into your computer is RENAME the file with the .MPG extension, and its ready to be used in any way you wish

    I see people all the time saying you have to convert. Nope, you dont. Just rename the file as "XXXXXX.MPG"

    The camera's great, i love mine and picked it up for about 250

  • does anyone know if this comes with a nightshot plus??? not just nightshot...i mean the function that shows in an almost negative effect

  • hi all can you fit x2 teleconverter i.e x45 optical x2 90 optical. Im looking at Fs100,JVC mg330,Panasonic sdr-H80 x70 optical native can i get a teleconverter for the panasonic please let me know

  • is it 1080p hd or something like that

  • I just ordered one of these and I cant wait to get it!!!!!

  • Is the file type compatible with Macs?

  • I just bought this camera and the files it makes can be be opened in Windows Movie Maker. I converted the MOD file to MPG then to AVI, but it still refuses to import them. What a pain in the ass.

  • it cant get in windows movie maker?

  • Can you screw on lenses?

  • yes, there are threads in front of lense

  • i lost my charger.... can you charger it with usb cord

  • no, sorry.
