JVC Everio GZ-HM340 Camcorder (Black)

With some of the worst video quality I've seen in an HD camcorder of late, the best I can say about JVC's entry-level HD Everio camcorder models is that they're small and cheap. Though they're $60 to $100 less than HD competitors, they're defined by a...

Relatively intelligent autofocus system; compact

Poor video quality; no optical image stabilization

The four sibling models--the JVC Everio GZ-HM300, HM320, HM340, and HD500--deliver subpar video for even their dirt-cheap prices.

JVC GZ-HM340

Performs solidly, but lacks most manual controls and design leaves something to be desired

Good color performance; Good sharpness for its class

Cheap construction; Few manual controls

JVC Everio GZ-HM340 Camcorder Review

The GZ-HM340 from JVC is a new entry-level HD camcorder that performs like a solid mid-range model. Its performance is on par with that of last year's GZ-HM200 from JVC, but it lacks most manual controls and its design leaves something to be desired.
