Anyone have any good or bad opinions about a JVC Everio GZ-MG330?
hey you cannot go wrong with getting a JVC Everio they are one of the best if not the absolute best camcorder on the market, today this one is VERY good.
:yes:

But is it recommended to film a concert with that cam? Will the quality be good enough or would it be waste of time to tape it 'cuz the quality will suck? :]
it is a little bit bigger of a camera check out the specs here pretty reasonable camera, i still say if you have the money get a JVC Everio : )

Don't the Everio's compress the video? The quality wouldn't be perfect that way, it'd be lesser than it should be.

I've been using a Sony DCR-PC100 recently, working great for me. Filmed some local bands here and they all came out great.

Anyone heard of this new camera?
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SC-MX20-M ... 839&sr=1-1
Samsung SC-MX20

I was trying to find some good reviews of it from pre-release testers, but couldn't find anything. Release date according to Amazon is Oct 1st.


Edit: Wow, nevermind, it appears this one is built for the "YouTube generation" with resolution settings for the default YouTube aspect/resolution. Back to JVC hunting for me then.
