JVC GZ-MC500 Review

Good Points
The size.
The micro drive.
Excellent video quality.

Bad Points
Battery life isn't brilliant, but it hasn't caused me any major problems yet. I'd definitely invest in another battery (or two) for a holiday or any major 'event'.

General Comments
The JVC GZ-MC500 digital camcorder is small. It's sexy, and it does what it's supposed to. I love it!



I knew this gizmo was small, but once delivered and in my hand I was amazed. It's tiny. The other selling point, obviously, is the micro drive. It's great not having to bother with tapes anymore. Take some footage, and within minutes it's transferred onto your PC to make a DVD or send to your mates. Video quality is fantastic, and as my last digital stills camera was only 2.1 mega-pixels, I'm well impressed with the photo quality too.
