Five digital noise reduction technologies also work together to improve the vertical resolution of the GZ-MG360 over previous standard definition camcorders made by JVC.
- Direct DVD/Direct Backup Button

Comments about JVC GZ-MG360 Everio Hybrid Camcorder:
I use this product for capturing family gatherings and outings. This is my second HD camcorder. My first one is a panaonic which is a bit heavier (which was the case 2-3 years back). So I can definitely appreciate how compact this one is. Picture quality is good (not the greatest)and is very easy to operate. I would recommend this for casual users.

Comments about JVC GZ-MG360 Everio Hybrid Camcorder:
I've used the camera indoors and outdoors. I am very pleased. battery life is great. The picture quality is excellent. I like the built in lens cover, although using a a uv filter makes it a bit useless. I have to get used to not having a viewfinder and using the swingout screen as the viewfinder.

Comments about JVC GZ-MG360 Everio Hybrid Camcorder:
I use this camcorder for our ski trip and its perfect. Its small size makes it easy to hold while riding along side the family. Along with the wide angle lens(purchased seperatly), its the perfect combo for the action shots that usually happen when you are either too close or too far. The hard drive stores all the action and a micro SD card can also be used. Easy to store, light weight compact size, with all the features I need.

Comments about JVC GZ-MG360 Everio Hybrid Camcorder:
easy to handle (fits right into your hand!) and operate, clear picture. simply turn it on, open the lens cap, and you're ready to go. i have not tested any of the more advanced features but am pleased with the performance so far. excellent choice for those wanting quality video at a reasonable price, and probably as close as you can get to hi-def without having to take the plunge to replace your tv and dvd, and upgrade your computer's burner.

Comments about JVC GZ-MG360 Everio Hybrid Camcorder:
This product works great. We were at first a little hesitant by not having a view finder, but you dont even need it. Actually it is better without the viewfinder and you use the video screen.
Great picture and easy as heck to use.

Comments about JVC GZ-MG360 Everio Hybrid Camcorder:
This is an amazing piece of equipment. Very intuitive and easy to use. I bought it for my parents who are going on a trip to Alaska and my mom figured out how to use it without the instructions.
I love the ability to move video on to DVD - very simple!

Comments about JVC GZ-MG360 Everio Hybrid Camcorder:
I got this camera recently, and I couldn't be happier with it. I make a lot of home videos and I have a channel on YouTube [...] This camera is perfect for my needs, and the MPEG format is fine for Adobe Premiere. The touch navigation system is cool, but takes a little getting used to. It doesn't have a viewfinder, which I don't find terribly detrimental, but I just figured I'd point that out. The images are really clear, but unless you have some way to edit 16:9 widescreen on your computer, then you'll need to shoot in 4:3. With the 60GB HDD, you can record 14 hours of the highest quality video, and 75 hours of the lowest. The 35X optical zoom is wonderful. You can see objects 200 feet away like they're a few feet in front of you. Even the digital zoom looks fine, at 70X.It looks great and is very portable. I'd also like to point out that the lens cover is very amusing. Instead ofa lens cap, it has a switch near the lens which you flip to take the cover on or off. The last point is that it opens automatically when you open the LCD screen, which also takes a bit of getting used to.I can't really think of anything bad about it, just that it takes a little bit of getting used to.
