JVC Everio GZ-MG730 (30GB review: JVC Everio GZ-MG730 (30GB

JVC Everio GZ-MG730 (30GB

Solid standard-definition video quality; above-average photo quality; manual controls; small, comfortable design; dock and remote included.

Tricky menu navigation and polarizing interface; no external mic, headphone jacks; overpriced; unnecessarily uses too-small microSD media.

The JVC Everio GZ-MG730 produces acceptable standard-def video and good photos in bright light, but considering its price tag, it's ultimately disappointing.

JVC Everio GZ-MG730

7-megapixel CCD, attractive design, good auto-focus, advanced still image mode

Finicky control scheme, poor night mode, 'only' 30GB hard drive

The Everio GZ-MG730 is an above average camcorder that puts image quality above consumer-friendly gimmicks. It might be a little pricey for a standard-def model, but its output will not disappoint.

JVC Everio GZ-MG730 (30GB review

Standard-definition camcorders tend to have relatively low-resolution image sensors, but JVC bucks that trend with its top-of-the-line Everio G-series hybrid hard-drive/flash-memory camcorder, the GZ-MG730. Instead of a more typical 1-megapixel or...
