Camcorder JVC Everio GZ-MG70U

The machine has 30 GB hard drive and ability to shoot continuously for 7 hours. Compared with the previous release MG30U, GZ-MG70U for sharper video quality.
GZ-MG70U a compact body. Click for larger image.
Everio GZ-MG70U launched in 2005 and JVC no longer produce this model anymore. However, consumers still buy water by the machine easy to use, re-equipped with the most basic features and especially cheap.
MG70U is equipped with 30 GB hard drive and compact body. Its width is similar in other camcorders, but the height and the shorter term. You can shoot with one hand and easy jacket pocket. If the battery is its weight is less than half a kg. Weight gain was essentially due to each of MG70U thick crust, so look very solid.
Due to the size of the compact Everio lacks a lot of external controls. Look around you will only see three buttons: control recording mode - off, on, a zoom, and camera button. If you want to use a lot more buttons that can open the LCD screen. Here you will find additional five buttons and a menu option looks like a game controller. One of the most interesting controls is the Info. With a single touch, can know the total duration of the clips you have captured or existing battery. Because these machines are usually older Everio time short battery life so this tool really useful.
The body has few controls. Click for larger image.
Operation of Everio GZ-MG70U is simple although the menu selection is made complicated. For example, set the clock back in the menu display and not placed in the basic setup or install cameras visible.
With older models, to remove the camera from the bracket if you want to switch to SD memory card, then the JVC Everio GZ-MG70 will direct for films stored on 30 GB hard drive. With this capacity, you can go from 7 hours (for movie mode) to 14 hours (normal quality) and MPEG-2 video format resolution of 720 x 480 pixels. Even if for a resolution of 352 x 240 pixels may be turned in 37 hours. This is considered a significant improvement compared to MiniDV models (only one hour to shoot high quality video) or the Mini-DVD (for 20 minutes).
The format of the file ending with Everio camcorder is quite strange: MOD. But in fact its standard format is MPEG-2 VOB with Dolby Digital sound and is easy to switch to other forms using the correct software. Photo width is 4:3 or 16:9.
It only takes 6 seconds to close the camera can operate, and a second to switch from turning to photography. The automatic mode works very well. Autofocus mode exposure compensation is very sensitive in terms of glare to dim. Focus manual control is difficult to be more accurate to use via a small LCD screen and manipulated by the controls. Although most of the time different zoom, image stabilization technology still works fine.
The zoom button is very sensitive tuning and easy to control but to help balance the zoom is a little difficult to use. Micro camcorder's sound can only be obtained at distances from 3 meters downwards.
Open the screen to see every kind of hidden in controls. Click for larger image.
Everio camcorder line has some drawbacks. In fact, many of its features remain poor first series Everio GZ-MG30U. The lens is only 10x zoom, 25x compared to the GZ-MG30U tube will be nothing. In addition, images obtained are dark. CCD offset is higher resolution (2 megapixels, more than the 680,000 pixels in your life) and flash support for both shooting and recording.
Another downside is the noticeable lack of viewfinder, 2.5 inch wide screen is folded only the viewfinder when shooting and shooting. This screen is only useful when shooting outdoors or in excess light conditions. However, sometimes difficult to adjust focus. The color obtained is quite sharp, but not be as taken in other machines.
 
Also, the weakest point of the machine is battery life. Although large memory allows continuous rotation in 7 hours, but the battery can only run in 50 minutes and if the use of additional functions like zoom or review shall be 40 minutes. Users will always have to bring extra batteries if you want to go or take a longer time.
The image quality of the Everio GZ-MG70U GZ-MG30U line better because a larger CCD (1/3.6 inch). The better quality of MiniDV models, but in the images require more details such as grasslands are not sharp. Sometimes missing the color or the stripes appear strange or weird in the picture.
Although when using the white balance automatically in low light can be yellow, but in terms of overall color display of the Everio GZ-MG70 camcorder is quite good and accurate.

Pros

  • Large
  • Small Camera
  • PC file transfer speed on fast

Cons

  • Low Battery
  • Microphone less
  • Image quality is not good
