JVC Everio GZ-MG730

I bought this camera for home videos and snap shots. I'd have to say that it dose a generally good job at both but I wouldn't go so far as to say that it dose either exceptionally well. It is simple to use, works well enough and is small and light enough to justify not having to carry around two cameras (video/photo) on family outings.
After getting to grips with it, I can't say that I regret buying it, I just wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It has nothing to do with quality or value, it has more to do with 2 in 1 hybrid concept and putting all your eggs in one basket. If for whatever reason this camera were to get lost, stolen or broken, I would be out two cameras. Presented with the hypothetical situation of having to replace it, I would and could get two separate cameras of similar or greater quality for the same price.
I don't see the useful life of this camera lasting too long. I think after a year I'll be looking to replace it.
