JVC Everio GZ-HM30SEK

 

What's special about JVC's new budget contender?

Decent image quality ; Reasonable price ; More configurable than a pocket Internet camcorder

Fiddly control system ; 720p resolution, not Full HD ; No built-in memory

JVC also uses the extra pixels to provide a more powerful Advanced Image Stabiliser (AIS) option, which smoothes jerky camerawork a little more than the standard setting. However, this again crops into the frame a little more, which doesn’t affect zoom...

Delivery time was excellent. This is a refurb and seems to in excellent condition. I've run the video captures on a 70" TV and the images are very sharp. For under a hundred bucks you can't go wrong.

JVC Everio GZ-HM30

 

Lightweight, easy to use and a terrific zoom

Battery life on battery that comes with camera is about 30 mins so purchase larger battery if you will do a lot of filming in one day
