The JVC GZ-MG680 Everio Camcorder is Perfect for Families and Kids - Great for Internet Video and Capturing Video Clips for Posting to YouTube
October 11, 2009 – San Diego, CA – Internet Video Magazine (www.internetvideomag.com)
The JVC GZ-MG680 is an affordable and very compact camcorder that allows you to record video or still images to either a 120 GB hard drive or a micro SD flash card. Even though this JVC Everio camcorder is tiny, about the size of my fist, it captures good looking video and provides a nice set of features including manual optical and digital zoom options, several manual overrides, built in light, and software that makes it easy to transfer your captured videos and images to your computer, burn to a DVD or to transfer to an online video hosting site like YouTube.
The Windows bundled software that makes make it easy to watch videos on your iPod or to an iPhone by exporting videos to the user’s iTunes® library with the new One Touch Export function. The One Touch Upload function also makes it easy to upload to YouTube. Finally, you also get a One Touch DVD Creation function to author and burn DVD copies of your videos. If you are working on an Apple machine, connecting the camcorder to your Mac via USB enables it to appear as an external drive.
Even though the GZ-MG680 is not a HD camcorder and only captures SD quality video, it offers an integrated HD up conversion (1920 x 1080p) capability that takes the camcorders' standard definition video recording and then converts it, allowing a HDMI connection for HD televisions.
According to Mark Shapiro, Internet Video Magazine Editor in Chief, “Using the standard video and audio cables, we watched the video back on a regular definition TV and it looked fine. We did notice some video compression artifacts on a busy backgrounds but nothing that would be overly objectionable. The audio captured with the internal mike sounded clear.”
