Customer Review: Excellent for low-budget and mid-range expectations!
I think flash memory is the best feature of this camcorder. I have an 8gb high-speed card that works wonderfully. I can EASILY import clips into iMovie, which was my biggest worry prior to purchasing this camcorder. This is a great, no-nonsense camera for recording my little girl's every move.
Customer Review: what a piece of crap!
I got this JVC GZ-MS100 for Christmas, and I must say it is of low quality. I have owned JVC video products before, and have always been impressed with their quality and reliability. But this particular camera I have to take issue with on several features: 1)the USB port-it is on the micro scale of USB ports,very small and quite difficult to connect the cable-it sits on the front of the camera,right next to one of the strap holders(a loop of metal that the strap is attached to). It is located so close to the strap holder that it is very difficult to attach the USB cable-it's like their research department never actually tried to connect a USB cable here. 2) the laser touch sensor-it makes menu navigation cumbersome and slow. 3)the image stabilizer does not seem to work at all on high zoom settings and just barely on normal wide setting. I wasn't expecting steady-cam level performance, but this is ridiculous. 4) As other reviewers have mentioned, it does not work with Macintosh. I have a 2008 iMac,and this camera is totally useless to me.I cannot get the files from the SDHC card into my Apple. The person who bought this for me knows I have an Apple computer, and said the salesman told her it works with Macintosh-WRONG! Reading the fine print on the carton it came in,under the heading "System Requirements" I see that it says for Macintosh "The software for Macintosh is not included."In the manual it has a page about File Backup on a Macintosh which basically tells you how,cable-wise, to attach the USB cable-it does not address the fact the CD-ROM has nothing that can be used by an Apple.Nor does their website offer any software driver downloads. 5)it is a terrible owner's manual.Not only is it written by Japanese who still do not understand English syntax,but there are entire areas of usability that are not even mentioned,such as a paragraph about files and format on the File Backup section,or how to use the included card reader. After being so impressed with JVC products years ago, I am shocked to see how far they have fallen.
