Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Spend a little extra, if you can... Comment: I almost went for this camcorder, but in the end, I opted for a Sony DCR-SR62 camcorder. It cost just under £300, has a 30Gb hard disc built in and a touch-screen display, but has a 1.3Mp resolution. It really makes a huge difference on the quality of your videos. I've got nothing against this particular JVC model, but at the time I knew nothing about camcorders, and am glad I chose to spend a little extra and go for the Sony. Hope this helps ! Customer Rating: Summary: Easy to use, loads of storage space and great price. Comment: I think the title says it all. Really simple camcorder to use, used it straight out of the box with no hassles at all. Very impressed with the storage capacity. I spent a long time researching which camera to opt for, and after many weeks of reading reviews and checking prices, I definitely made the right choice! The reason for writing the review is to let people know that it is possible to use the simplest editing software, Windows Movie Maker, which is provided free with Windows. Earlier comments suggest the editing software which is bundled is not very good, but you just need to know how to use it. On the CD that comes with the camera is an application called PowerDirector, this allows you to change the saved movie file from a .MOD file (the JVC standard extension) to a AVI or MPEG file for use with Windows Movie Maker or any other editing software. Open PowerDirector Import your .MOD files. Add your .MOD files to the timeline (or) If you want to create individual .AVI or .MPG files, add the files to the timeline individually. Once your timeline is setup how you'd like it, Click "Produce" Now select Save to File Finally Select .AVI or .MPG and select the directory that you'd like your file stored to. It's that easy. Then edit to your hearts content! Buy one - at this price you'd be daft not too! Customer Rating: Summary: JVC Everio MG130EK Comment: I brought one of these recently although not from Amazon. I think this is an excellent little camera with a few caveats. The image quality is ok for everyday stuff, but when you play it through the AV cable on a big tv you can see it is not brilliant. It is also not great in low light. It has an 800K CCD for capturing images and the photo stills are at 640 x 480 - about 0.4 Mega pixels, which compared to most modern stills cameras is worthless, but then why would you take stills with a video camera? If you want a better picture then try the MG155 and MG175 version which I understand have a 1 Megapixel CCD so should be slightly better image quality (approx 30 or 40 pound more)or the MG275 which seems to get good reviews with a 2.18MP CCD but again more money! The menus on the 130 are easy to use and good looking and the HDD system for retrieving your sections of film is also very simple and much better than tape. I use Pinnacle Studio to edit my footage, and the MOV files prove no problem to import, as long as you select all files when searching for them as the MOV format doesn't appear to be that standard, although all my players (windows media, Nero Showtime will play the files no problem at all). In summary a great camera - image quality not brilliant but slightly better than my old MiniDV camera, and ovearall a good cheap all rounder, and best of all tiny to hold and dead easy to use. Customer Rating: Summary: Guaranteed delivery??? Comment: I'm sure the camcorder is fantastic. But, it hasn't been delivered, despite me paying for express next day delivery, so I really can't tell yet. Yes, I know it's Christmas and all that, but maybe Amazon shouldn't *guarantee* what they can't guarantee! Customer Rating: Summary: Neat! Little Gadget (much' smaller than a beer can)..1/2 I'd say! Comment: What! a little cracker!! ..Paddy would say! and "That" sums up' this camcorder perfectly!. Like many techy Items today! it' requires abit of know how!. Easy for some... and hard to grasp by others.."But"..stick at it! and you will survive. I have a high spec HP machine and it struggled to install the supplied software CD but I'd put that down to my previous fiddling with my computer. Now! back to Paddy', this camcorder fits snugly in the hand and weighs next to nought!. I have only had a quick' go at it! round the home but! it's performance outstrips what I paid for it. Well worth buying................................. More Reviews
