By Tony Gomez (cnet.com)Read the full review

Attractive price ; compact design ; holds hours of video

JVC Everio GZ-MG330 (30GB, silver)

By Freddy_Knuckles (cnet.com)Read the full review

Every time I go to use the camera, it takes AT LEAST 10 seconds before it's ready to shoot. Every day, I go for walks though a heavily forested park with all kinds of wildlife. I'm trying to put together a video of all the sights and sounds I see every da...
