JVC Everio GZ-MG57 Reviewed
CNET have reviewed the compact VC Everio GZ-MG57 Hard Disk Camcorder. 'Released in September 2006 with little fanfare, the JVC Everio GZ-MG57 seems to do nothing more than fill a hole in JVC's hard-disk camcorder lineup. Similar to its predecessor, the GZ-MG50, JVC made several small changes without really changing the overall product.
For one, the GZ-MG57 is slightly more compact than the GZ-MG50; it's a very good size for small adult hands and might even be comfortable for older children. At 14 ounces, it's also quite light compared to most other camcorders. Like the other Everio models, you control most of the cameras options via a joystick on the bezel of the LCD. The menu system is fairly straightforward, and it provides quick access to all the shooting settings, including white balance, shutter speed, and scene modes.'
