 Average Rating : 
Rating : - Worked OK - for 90 seconds After reading many positive reviews for the JVC Everio GZ-MG330 and GZ-MG335, I purchased the 335 from Amazon since it came with the docking station for only about $10 more than the 330. I was replacing a JVC GR-DV1 MiniDV recorder and went with JVC since I had the GR-DV1 for over 10 years and was happy with its performance and reliability. Shot four video sequences with the Everio for a total of about 90 seconds. Watched the footage on a TV through an S-video cable connection, and found it to be inferior in crispness and color fidelity to what I was used to with MiniDV. Did not have a chance to shoot in ultrafine mode or with the built-in light, which I expect would have been higher quality. Next, uploaded video to a PC to get used to operation of the unit. Software was fairly easy to install in Vista (contrary to problems reported by another reviewer) and use. After uploading videos, attempted to record more video, but a "pause" symbol displayed in the LCD and the start/stop button would not work. Tried removing the battery and reverting to factory default settings, but still did not record video. Called JVC service and they suggested reformatting the hard drive. This still did not fix the problem, so they said I should re-pack it and ship it to their repair depot and I would get it back in a week to ten days. Contacted Amazon, and they would ship out a replacement camcorder the same day. Instead, I chose a refund, and will buy a different brand hard drive camcorder from Amazon. So, one star for JVC for a camcorder that did not operate properly after 30 minutes of use, but hats off to Amazon for their dedication to high-quality customer service.
