ProductCritic: JVC GZ-MG77 Reviews

Consumer Electronics Net (92)

I personally like what I’ve experienced with the Everio GZ-MG77U. It is the future of camcorders, available today. No more long transfers of video into the computer, no more one hour tapes to switch out, and I get to choose what quality of MPEG-2 video to record to.

Given the market, and accepting the technological limitations inherent in MPEG-2 / HDD recording and playback, we have to give a cautious “recommended” verdict for casual home users!

The GZ-MG77 is an above average camcorder, but it’s let down on occasion by poor video quality.

The small size and massive video storage capacity of the JVC Everio GZ-MG77 make it a tantalizing choice, but poor video quality keeps this hard-disk-based camera from being a tape- or DVD-killer.

PC Mag (60)

Although not the best in its class and a bit overpriced, the JVC Everio GZ-MG77U is a good hard drive camcorder.

The JVC GZ-MG77 may have seen some improvements since last year, but a few minor upgrades and slightly reduced price does not rezone this camcorder into the “pricey, but worth it” neighborhood.
