Tags: JVC, JVC Everio GZ-X900, LCD display, stabilisation, slider
We like:
Good picture quality; three slow-motion modes; effective optical image stabiliser; unusual but appealing design
We don't like:
Expensive; fiddly menu system; only 5x optical zoom

At the top settings, video and still-image quality are both good, but, while the slow-motion modes and unique optical image stabiliser are interesting extras, a few niggles and the high price might make you think twice
