ProductCritic: JVC GZ-MG37 Reviews

Good Gear Guide (60)

JVC seems to have a hard disk camcorder for every occasion, with five models now on offer in the Everio range. The GZ-MG37 is the second lowest priced of the group, which is apparent when comparing the quality of its video and stills to its more expensive siblings. However, the image quality is still decent enough and the diminutive device actually packs a few features that are absent from the pricier models.

The GZ-MG37 is the ultimate in convenience. If this sole selling point is enough to attract you, the camcorder may not disappoint. But if you’re just looking for something more convenient than MiniDV, there are plenty of DVD camcorders that deliver the same or better quality, and plenty more camcorders at the same price that can deliver vastly superior quality.

The MG37’s easy-to-use design, compact size, and bountiful storage would make this little camcorder quite appealing—if it didn’t have to shoot video. Unfortunately, the GZ-MG37’s image quality is universally bad, no matter what the shooting conditions, and all the bells and whistles in the world can’t make up for that.

The JVC GZ-MG37 captures video to a 30GB HDD, enough for 7 hours of the highest quality video and 37 hours of the lowest quality. We want to warn you, however: the high quality is not that great to start with, and the low quality is very low.
