4 Stars JVC Everio hard disk camcorder GZ-MG330
Great little camcorder for the money. I’ve always had great results from purchasing JVC Products. It is easy to handle and shooting with it is a breeze. My only dissapointment is with the instructional documentation which accompanies the camera. The explanation of saving video to the hard drive, external hard drive and burning to a DVD are quite sketchy. There is a pretty neat looking editing program which installed with the program, which has no instructions at all. Oh, well. Maybe you will have JVC send me an instruction booklet so I might use it.The camera was a sound buy however, and as usual Amazon did a fine job of getting it to me in a timely fashion.
4 Stars Great little camera for family use
Been playing with this little gem all weekend. With practice and playing with some manual settings, you can get great quality video (even indoors). Don’t be afraid to play with it! Love the compact size and the lazer slide control for the menus. Transfer to pc is a breeze. The .mod files it produces kind of took me for a minute, but works out well. I am picky about quality, (especially indoor), and while this is not hd quality, it is very acceptable to me. I prefer not to deal with hd editing and only getting a few minutes on a dvd. I figure at this price, I’m happy. In a few years when I just have to have everything blue-ray, I’ll buy another camcorder and hand this one down to my son. A note on the software included: Before you try to produce and burn a dvd, please make sure you start a new project in the director program, or you won’t be able to make a dvd. -It took me a couple hours to figure that out. Other than that, I like the included software, and it is fast at creating a dvd. I just purchased the full version here on amazon (15 dollars cheaper than Cyberlink site). Can’t wait to get it!

3 Stars Nice camera but beware of the file format
I really like this camera. It is compact, shoots nice stills and has good sound qualities. The interface is intuitive and I was tweking settings right out of the box with little or no reference to the manual. It is perfect for quick family videos and fits in a small camera bag, making it easy to transport. The problem is when you shoot long videos and want to edit them down. I have found that for my purposes the .MOD format this camera produces is old and has to be converted to .avi or .wmv for the sort of editing I want to do. That means a very long conversion process through the supplied software, which I did not find particularly usable or helpful. The autofocus also has issues indoors in medium lighting and the image stabilization is not the best out there. If you want a happy cam to grab shots of the family and friends, then this is a really good buy. Otherwise, spend the extra and go for a unit that has more flexibility with its video outputs. I started out loving this camera , but every day I find something else I dislike about it.
5 Stars Best Price to Value!!!!
I got his camera for $600, and it was a great purchase. First, the camera is very compact which makes it easy to carry around. Even with its size, it has a 30GB storage and a 10x opitical zoom. I like the f/1.8 Konica Minolta lens, which focuses very quickly and takes some great-looking still photos. The 7-megapixel sensor also helps with its recording. Videos are recorded in MPEG format so it is very esay to transfer onto your computer for editing; no conversion necessary. Colors were very pleasing and white balance was also good. Definitely worth purchasing

3 Stars may be too cheap
I bought mine to digitize my LP collection, so I did not need something that would last a long time. It does the job but a few disappointments:
- the stylus died after only a few hours of playing (less than 10), fortunately this is easily replaceable
- in my case the right channel is somewhat attenuated compared to the right channel and no amount of fudging with the anti-skate improved things. This can be compensated on your stereo by playing with the channel balance on your amplifier or on your computer by amplifying the one channel with the recording software (audacity in my case).
So no show stopper so far, just annoying defects that come with the cheap construction. On the other hand it’s nice to have all these controls (speed, weight, anti-skate) and my kids think it’s way cool (for once).
In conclusion, if you want a keeper, you might want to stick to a brand name and dish a few more bucks. If you need a turntable for a temporary usage, and are ready to compromise quality for price, then this one will do.
3 Stars Good enough for the price
I bought this turntable a few months ago and I’m satisfied by its performance. It has good sound and it’s a good deal for its price.
Mine didn’t come warped. It’s obviously made out of plastic but then again, consider you won’t be getting a classic Technics model for 70 dollars.
If you’re starting collecting vinyl or you just want to listen to your old records without hassle, consider buying this turntable.
4 Stars a great turntable
i am completely pleased with this turntable.i know it is the greatest value out there.i strongly recomend this product.you won’t go wrong.
4 Stars Very Nice for the Price
This item is great for the price. I purchased it for my father this past Christmas and it is still going strong. I have two complaints: the stand and cover are both plastic which makes it a little less attractive and when we received it the hooks that keep the cover on were broken. I never bothered to return it, but if I had they seemed to have a pretty good policy.
5 Stars Excellent
Comes with a good cartridge and needle, comes with a plastic top, with weight changing and anti skating. Other people seem to have problems with the shipping, but i had no problems. The plastic was not warped. It is 62% off, this is probably as good as the expensive ones. Make sure you get a preamp for this, it does not have one buit in.
