Read Epinions reviews on the JVC Everio GZMG555 HDD Camcorder 

Pros: -uses a harddrive, not tape or a disc, so you can have long recording sessions

Cons: -image quality is just par -poor image stabilization -expensive -poor bundled software

The Bottom Line: a good camera with nice HDD technology, but just doesn't match up to competitors in other areas with other features.

Pros: Small, light, compact. Easy navigation through the menus.

Cons: Mediocre image quality. Horrible(!) proprietary software. Unable to use own software.

The Bottom Line: Until JVC allows you to use your own editing and burning software - AVOID!!! The bundled software is SO awful, that any possible benefit of convenience is eliminated.
