Abstract: Pros: Small size. Sturdy. Zoom. Records to 30 GB hard drive. Affordable.Cons: Light balance in low light a bit yellow in automatic. Not HD. The JVC Everio GZ-MG330 is all about simple and easy. It’s not much bigger than my fist and packs in a 30 gigab...
Abstract: The JVC Everio GZ-MG330 is an excellent standard definition camcorder for this price range. It edges out the Sony DCR-SR85 (Review, Specs, $377.00) and the Panasonic SDR-H60 (Review, Specs, $295.00) in terms of video performance. It also has slightly b...

Attractive price; compact design; holds hours of video.
No eye-level viewfinder, mic input, or headphone jack; persistent video compression artifacts.
The near-identical models of the JVC Everio GZ-MG300 series--the MG330, MG335, MG360 and MG365--are budget-priced, hard-drive-based camcorders that are nice enough, but produce typical low-budget video. Specifications: Video input type: Camcorder; Opti...
Despite being a hard disk-based camcorder, the JVC Everio GZ-MG330 weighs less than 400g. It's still a bit heavy and bulky for carrying around in a pocket of any nature, but you won't think twice about stuffing it in a bag when you head out for a trip. Th...

Excellent storage capacity; small and light; choice of colors; innovative laser touch operation.
Average video performance in good lighting; poor low light performance.
The JVC GZ-MG330 features a smaller, lighter body than previous Everio units along with a choice of three stylish colors. It is the entry level unit in JVCs recent line of five Everio HDD DV camcorders. Clearly, JVC is aiming to make this unit as muc...
Abstract: Able to cram in loads of recording time JVC pioneered the idea of recording video to a mobile hard disk in consumer camcorders. But now all the mainstream manufacturers have hard disk models in their ranges. So JVC’s latest line brings the price and si...
The smallest and cheapest of JVC’s hard drive camcorders, the MG330 isn’t light on features. It has a huge 35x zoom lens, a widescreen 2.7-inch and even touch controls. The Laser Touch strip isn’t as cool as Sony’s touchscreens but...
The stripped-down Everio won’t tempt serious movie-makers from their glittering high-end HD shooters: there’s no viewfinder, microphone socket or headphone jack. The JVC’s standard def video look good enough but they’re larger and...
JVC started putting hard drives into camcorders around the time Apple put them into iPods: you simply won’t find a more confident or well made shooter at this price.JVC GZ-MG330 is tagged with camcorder and JVC. Select a tag (camcorder, for example)...
