JVC Everio GZ-MS120 review: JVC Everio GZ-MS120

JVC Everio GZ-MS120

Good video quality for its class; manual controls; small, comfortable design.

No inputs; questionable YouTube friendliness; no optical image stabilization; thin grip strap.

The JVC Everio GZ-MS120 is a nice little flash-memory-based standard-definition camcorder.

JVC Everio GZ-MS120 with dual memory card slots

JVC Everio GZ-MS120 is a sub t mind the big size, get this unit. It is not capable of recording HD videos but is an excellent option if you are looking for SD recording for putting clips on websites like YouTube. The bundled user-friendly software...

Compact, good video for entry level camcorder class, manual controls

Grip strap is too thin, the camcorder is not YouTube friendly, lacks optical image stablitizer

We would recommend the JVC Everio GZ-MS120 to people who are fond of Flip-style mini camcorders and don't mind the big size. We thought the two card slot was more of a gimmick than innovation and other than that the MS120 is a typical of a standard SD...

JVC Everio GZ-MS120 Camcorder (red) Review, Prices

It is really difficult to eliminate the image of the cheaper video cams from the minds of the people but honestly speaking, this device has everything that can erase the impressions of those cams from your mind. The prime drawback of such pocket cams...

The quality of the video is quite good and also the designs are simply comfortable and suitable for any of the designers. Manual controls are fairly nice making sure that the user can never stuck in using the device

The user can't make any inputs in the device and also the ability to connect the You Tube is not compatible which makes the functioning worthless. The optical stabilization of the device is not good looking. The problem of grip is always an issue with...

There are different aspects of the JVC Everio that are considerable but seeing the overall view, this is the stuff that makes a sense and we recommend buying the camcorder.

JVC Everio GZ-MS120

Two SD card slots allow for up to 64GB of storage, but otherwise the MS120 is a nice, albeit run-of-the-mill, flash-memory-based standard-def camcorder.

Good video quality for its class ; Manual controls ; Small, comfortable design

No inputs ; Questionable YouTube friendliness ; No optical image stabilisation ; Thin grip strap

Yes, the dual-SDHC card slot is a gimmick, but hey, it works and it allows you to grow your storage larger than other manufacturers' camcorders. Other than that, the JVC Everio GZ-MS120 is a fairly typical standard-def camcorder.

Great video camera until I noticed a dancing pixel which would turn blue when in should be black. Totally messes up the video.

good camera, bad info

Great Camera. Works as the JVC website claims it does. Variable speed zoom and everything. Five star rating for camera itself

New egg website is claiming that the camera is AVCHD. It is NOT! They are misrepresenting that feature of the camera. I called them about it and they gave me an account credit for finding it and said they would change it. It has been 3 weeks and the...
