The GZ-MG505 is the flagship model in a range of JVC camcorders that generate compressed Mpeg-2 video streams in addition to Jpeg digital still images, and write them to a 1.8in 30GB non-removable hard disk drive (although an optional SD card can also...

I didn?t think it would happen (myself not being a great fan of MPEG video cameras), but if someone was entering video ? especially if they were intending to travel and wanted a convenient, simple camera with a lot of storage for under $2000 ? then I w...
  • 3CCDs. Long recording time. Adequate software. Pleasant in the hand. Simplicity of controls. Cold shoe and microphone socket. Relatively sophisticated still camera functions; nice pictures.
  • Slow to focus on zooming. No headphone socket. Drop-off in available pixels in 16:9.On-the-camera battery charging. Lack of optical image stabilisation.

Cramming three CCD sensors into a camcorder isn’t a new idea. You split the image into red, green and blue light and use a sensor to capture each, with the promise for all this hard work being brighter colours and more detail. The MG505 packs this t...
  • 3CCDs mean a detailed and colourful picture. Masses of storage. Nice big, bright widescreen.
  • Colours are sometimes too vivid. Hardly pocketable. Optical viewfinder can be grainy and washed out. No HD.
  • 3CCD has yet to prove it’s worth the premium. If you want a hard-disker, go for one of the cheaper Everio models...

Keeping It Real Simple On the left side of the LCD screen is a joystick that controls manual features (i.e., shutter, iris, white balance, etc.), night shot, manual focus, backlight and spot exposure. Thats quite a bit of control for just a single joy...

The JVC GZ-MG505 is the best of the Everio hard disk drive (HDD) camcorders, a welcome relief to a product line marred by overpriced and underperforming camcorders. However, much like its predecessor, the GZ-MC500, this top-of-the-line model managed to br...

  • With HD camcorders only a few hundred dollars more, value is questionable for this SD model Battery life is shorter than competing models...

JVC?s auto controls are as sufficient compared to most camcorders, so point and shooters could safe record a baseball game without too much trouble. The menus are inviting, so those willing to play around with a few controls should manage.
