Digital Video Camera & Camcorder Review

The JVC GZ-MG21 is a nice idea, but its poor video quality and irritating control scheme make conventional camcorders seem a lot more appealing.

CNET has an editor review on the JVC Everio GZ-MG21 Camcorder and has a rating of 5.4 out of 10. and writes: “Hard drive camcorders seem like a great idea. A tiny hard drive in a small camcorder case can record hours upon hours of video without having to switch out a tape or a DVD. Unfortunately, JVC’s execution falls short; just like its nearly identical sibling, the JVC Everio GZ-MG27, the Everio GZ-MG21 may seem like a nifty camcorder, but its video quality and design leave a lot to be desired.

The first thing you’ll notice about the JVC Everio GZ-MG21 is that it’s small–really small, about the size of a large fist. It’s light, too, weighing less than 14 ounces with its battery. We like tiny devices, but the GZ-MG21 just doesn’t feel comfortable in large hands. If you have tiny mitts, though, this camcorder will probably fit just right.”
