Product Description

Compact Everio S makes sharing simple. This elegant, slim, lightweight camera boasts a Konica Minolta Lens, 35x optical zoom, Laser Touch operation and sharing videos over the Internet is now easier than ever with the one-button uploading to YouTube, the leading video sharing site. Everio S also has all the convenience Everio is famous for. The JVC Everio GZ-MS120 has a dual pair of SD/SDHC card slots and offers continuous recording: when one storage medium fills up, recording automatically switches to the other. When recording with the dual-slot GZ-MS120 in the highest quality mode (Ultra), recording capacity ranges from 3.7 hours using a pair of 8GB cards to 15 hours using two 32GB cards. In the lowest quality mode (Eco), recording time ranges from 20 hours to 80 hours. Everio MS120 camcorders make sharing and watching videos easier than ever. New for this year is the One Touch Export function that allows Everio videos to be imported into iTunes and loaded into an iPod or iPhone. All 2009 Everios also offer One Touch DVD burning and the One Touch Upload function that JVC introduced to users in 2008 as a new and convenient way to upload videos to YouTube. To use any of the three functions, simply connect Everio to a PC using the supplied USB cable.

JVC Everio MS102 Dual flash CAM

Review Date: April 29, 2009

Reviewer: John Lo, saint paul, mn

This is a great little camcorder. Its a little bigger than the palm of your hand and not much bigger than a digital camera. I tried out the ultra fine mode and economy mode and both work great. The ultra fine give you better detail but takes up lots of room. The economy mode works just as good but provides less detail. It shoots very clear picture in adequate lighting but in low lighting, you will need to turn on the LED light or make the proper adjustments. Also, you can view what you recorded right on the camcorder. It is also very easy to convert the videos you record to a workable format. For the price of $270 you can't go wrong. I recommend it to everyone.

Convenient and time saving

Reviewer: William Astudillo,

I really like this JVC flash memory camcorder. No longer do I have to sit through hours of tape either on the computer or through a dvd recorder recording video to dvd. Great standard def picture quality. First I purchased the Samsung SMX-F34 flash memory cam., but took it back because video quality was terrible. Too over compressed. Didn't like the mpeg4 video. This JVC cam. has way better video. Mpeg-2 video. Less compression. Love all the features and the fact that it has a light, a small light, but still a light. I was impressed by the low light video this camcorder took. The only drawback for me is that there is no fade-in or fade-out effect. That I really miss. But it has everything else I need. This camcorder, JVC Everio MS120, I won't be returning to the store.

Works great for camcorders in this price range

Reviewer: DaveC,

I've had this camcorder for a month or so now and I've been really happy with this camcorder. I use this camcorder to take pictures of my wife and kid occasionally. The video quality is acceptable when there's sufficient light, at low light the video gets grainy but there's a built in light that can be turn on (manually or automatically). The microphone was also pretty sensitive and the sound in my videos are good of good quality. You can take snapshots in the middle of recording a video, the quality is ok for facebook but it you're looking for high quality you should get a digital camera. It has no built in memory, but recording to SDHC is convenient and downloading to PC is very easy, just insert the SD card and grab the AVI files, I haven't had any problems with the encoding.
If your budget is $200-$300 then you're probably comparing this JVC MS120 with the Canon FS200 or the flip ultra HD (maybe the Sony/Panasonic ones as well). I went with JVC since Canon is more expensive, flip ultra HD has very limited controls and the reviews of Sony/Panasonic ones weren't that great. And the JVC has kept me happy so far.

I love this camera

Great camcorder...just upgraded from C-VHS. This camcorder is light and very easy to use. The battery lasts for 4 hours and the removeable cards are perfect for direct copy to a computer.
