JVC Everio G Camcorders Review

September 22nd, 2005 1:46 PM | by Christen da Costa | 153 Comments

Forget tapes and discs because JVC’s Everio G camcorder line records right (double entendre) to a hard drive.

There a few different models of the Everio G line, which are reflected in hard drive size (20-30GB), zoom lens distance, and still photo quality (.3-1.3megapixel). This means it holds anywhere from 5-7 hours of high quality video depending on model. This should be more then enough for the family vacation, unless of course you’re one of those idiots that records landscapes and vistas that were clearly destined for still photography. Thumbnails of each shot can be displayed on the 2.5 inch LCD and allows you to select clip by clip for viewing. You can even create a 99 shot play list.

The best part of course is that importing and editing should be a snap. No more batch digitizing, or having one continuous clip of video to segment. Even better is that transfer is 4 times as fast because it no longer has to play in real time, and it connects to USB 2.0. JVC has also included editing software in the box, although I am sure many will opt for iMovie if Apple users.

The camera’s pretty small at just 11 ounces and 2.6 by 4.3 by 2.8 inches, and start at $750.

    Hello
    No need to touch or rename the videos .MOD. It is a problem of codecs. Just download and install the AC3 filter codec to your computer (It is a freeware that you can google it). Install the AC3 filter and you can use the programs that comes with the Everio. No need to change anything.
    Just copy your files and use power producer as usual.
    Hope that helps.
