Lots of great features, Glorious performance, Excellent lens
Not cheap
JVC’s range of Everio camcorders has proved mighty successful over the last few years and the latest addition to its HD stable looks certain to continue the trend. The first consumer camcorder to provide Full HD recording – that’s a reso...
Abstract: We were very impressed with Canons HV20, which is about the cheapest way to create your own High Definition (HD) footage. JVCs Everio GZ-HD7 isnt as cheap as the Canon, but its a lot more serious looking and is aimed at anyone who wants to shoot...
