Typical price: £800
What is it: HD camcorder with 10x optical zoom lens
What we think: Ergonomic changes affect usability more than the upgrades to performance
What you need to know
Reviewed on: 25 October 2007
Tags: jvc, scene, optical, manufacturers
We like:
Good-looking design; high-quality audio; low noise, low-light video
We don't like:
Low-resolution video; needs built-in ND filter; no viewfinder
CNET UK judgement:
As a scaled-down version of JVC's GZ-HD7, the Everio GZ-HD3 ditches some of the fancier features, but its price is still higher than we'd like for this camcorder
