JVC Everio GZ-MG57 Reviews

CNET has a review up of the JVC Everio GZ-MG57 and writes, “It performs adequately, but that’s about it. As you’d expect from a hard-disk-based model, it starts up relatively quickly. But it doesn’t seem to be able to remember the date and time, which costs it some points for efficiency. Autofocus operates just a hair too slow, taking a critical moment to really lock on the subject, and the zoom switch doesn’t feel like it has enough play to comfortably cover the 15X zoom range. … Though small and well designed, the JVC Everio GZ-MG57’s performance and video quality can’t match the competitions’.” Link.

Good Gear Guide has a review of the JVC Everio GZ-MG57 and writes, “One of the great advantages of hard disk drive camcorders is their enormous recording times. At maximum quality the MG57 can manage a huge seven hours of footage, which is expanded to fourteen using the normal quality settings. Transferring the footage to a computer is made easy with the included USB cable. Overall, we’re big fans of the MG57’s design, but unfortunately the video quality just isn’t quite there. The simplicity of recording and large hard disk may prove too tempting for some, however.” Link.
