Review:

The good:  Supersmall and light; stores as much as 37 hours of video; easy and fast video transfer to your computer.

The bad: Subpar video quality; aspect-ratio issues with third-party programs when shooting wide-screen; no video light; no provisions for external microphone or accessories.

The bottom line: The small size and massive video storage capacity of the JVC Everio GZ-MG77 make it a tantalizing choice, but poor video quality keeps this hard-disk-based camera from being a tape- or DVD-killer.
