Reviews of the JVC Everio GZ-HD7

Review Summary: . We love the HD7's roomy hard drive, but the camera's sky-high price and subpar image quality should make you think twice before buying. If you plan to edit video in anything other than iMovie HD 6, we'd recommend skipping the Everio HD GZ-HD7 altogether
