This camcorder is the best for home movies. This camera is meant to replace a Sony 8 mm Handycam that requires occasional "percusive maintenance" (a careful slap to the side) to operate. I did the research to compare Sony,JVC,and Canon for the following features: under $300 price, SD/Memory Stick media, good quality picture, and ease of use--without a lot of features that I would never use. The main use for this camera will be to easily shoot family events that can be uploaded to YouTube and Facebook or sent to a DVD. from Amazon.com Pros: Great Camera. Works as the JVC website claims it does. Variable speed zoom and everything. from Newegg.com There are some other errors that cause DVD authoring programs to stop processing when it gets to a file created by this camcorder which I haven't bothered to figure out. So, if your intent is to save time by not having to convert files to put on a DVD, this isn't the camcorder for you. I was very disappointed in this and contacted JVC, and they wrote back that I should use their software for converting the files and putting them on a DVD, and that they had no intention of coming out with a software update to fix the problem. But I want to use other software, so I still have to waste time converting the files. from Amazon.com The JVC Everio MS 120 is a great camera. Small, light weight, and a long lasting battery. from Amazon.com You can take snapshots in the middle of recording a video, the quality is ok for facebook but it you're looking for high quality you should get a digital camera. It has no built in memory, but recording to SDHC is convenient and downloading to PC is very easy, just insert the SD card and grab the AVI files, I haven't had any problems with the encoding. If your budget is $200-$300 then you're probably comparing this JVC MS120 with the Canon FS200 or the flip ultra HD (maybe the Sony/Panasonic ones as well). I went with JVC since Canon is more expensive, flip ultra HD has very limited controls and the reviews of Sony/Panasonic ones weren't that great. from Amazon.com I really like this JVC flash memory camcorder. No longer do I have to sit through hours of tape either on the computer or through a dvd recorder recording video to dvd. from Amazon.com I ordered the jvc everio ms 120 based on the suggestion of a local store clerk who didn't have the camera in stock. Problem: it didn't work. from Amazon.com I purchased this little camcorder about a month ago along with JVC BN-VF815US 1460 mAh battery. Overall I am very impressed with this little camcorder. from Amazon.com After doing much research I bought this camera from a chain store to ensure that I could return it easily if need be. Good thing I did, the first one had a small red dot that showed up on the left hand side of the screen while in low light conditions. from Amazon.com Bought this for my daughter to video her horse riding hobby, easy to work, good video quality. The still pictures aren't the best but i suppose a camera would be better for that. from Amazon.com
