JVC Everio GZ-MG730
$799.00
Released January, 2008
The Pros:Compact design that's easy to stow away in a jacket pocket or purse. Sound gathering capabilities are pretty good, can clearly hear everyone. Interface is intuitive enough that you can even tweak the settings without ever reading instructions.
The Cons:Records in a proprietary .MOD format that isn't recognized by most editing software. Takes a very long time to convert the video files into a standard other software will use. Autofocus has difficulties in normal indoor lighting.
JVC claims that its GZ series are the world's smallest and lightest hard-disk recording camcorders at approximately 0.74bs. The Everio GZ-MG730 features a 30GB internal hard-drive that can record up to 37.5 hours of video; the camera also has a micro-SD card slot.
