So far, everything about the camera has been great! It is very easy to use right out of the box. The zoom is quite impressive! The picture quality when viewed on a large TV screen is very clear. All in all, I'm very happy with it, and would recommend it.

Comments about JVC Everio G GZ-MG630 Hard Disk Camcorder (Sapphire Blue):
Great for home videos. You do not even need to load the CD if you have Windows 7. Great storage capacity. Easy to use. I purchased the 3 hr battery pack, and it was well worth it. Good quality picture. I like the light attachment too.
The only minor bad issue, is that it does not adjust to different types of lighting, but it could be the operator too.
