Keeping standard-def camcorders competitive with cheaper pocket video camcorders capable of 720p high-definition video has basically come down to two features: storage and optical zoom. The JVC Everio GZ-MS120 packs the same 35x optical zoom as 2008's Everio GZ-MS100, and, although there's no internal storage in this model, there are dual SD/SDHC card slots. That's one slot more than its rivals, allowing you to go up to 64GB of storage should you want it. The MS120's video isn't half bad either, considering its £210 price. Continue Reading...
