Comments JVC Everio GZ-HD40 - Camcorder - review

Comments on JVC Everio GZ-HD40

The Everio GZ-HD40 is a very strong entry, and on pure quality and features really puts JVC on par with Canon and Sony, with a few niggles such as the lack of a lens ring. However, its price is a drawback. At nearly £1,000, the HD40 is significantly more expensive than Canon’s HF10 or HF100, which still get our nod as the best AVCHD choices in 2008. Fortunately, the HD30 variant offers identical quality and features, apart from the smaller 80GB hard disk and lack of a docking station. As that is available for £645, over £300 less than the HD40, it makes the much better choice – and the best value hard disk-based AVCHD camcorder currently available.
