    CNET Review

    November 6, 2006

    The Good: Small and well-designed; stores 7 hours of video.

    The Bad: Mediocre video and still photo quality; sluggish autofocus.

    The Bottom Line: Though small and well designed, the JVC Everio GZ-MG57's performance and video quality can't match the competitions'.

    Review Summary: Once again the Everio design impresses us, but the video quality isn't as good as we'd like with this unit.
