Description
JVC's GZ-HD6 120GB HD Everio Camcorder brings together full high definition recording, a progressive scan signal and compact design in the same way as it's sister camera the HD5. However, the HD6 differs by providing an impressive 120GB of internal storage. The camcorder's 1920 x 1080 progressive scan signal produces the maximum image information for all your shots, resulting in high quality images each and every time. And, just like it's companion camera it takes up very little room in a bag or purse, making it perfect for use when traveling or for family events.Another impressive aspect of the GZ-HD6 is the accessory shoe and mic input; these features allow you to add a light or microphone to obtain professional-quality recordings. This camera also boasts a roomy 2.8" Widescreen Clear LCD that fights glare and ghosting when recording in bright conditions, an SDHC card slot for capturing extra SP video and 1920 x 1080 stills, and a wide range of manual controls such as focus and exposure settings. Power-Linked Operation prevents wasting battery power by automatically turning the camera off when the LCD closes while the Data Battery function let's you check remaining battery power and time. These features and more are all reasons why JVC's GZ-HD6 is one impressive machine.

Great hardware - Crippled Software
Strengths: Looks, capabilities, low-light gathering, Image Stabilization
Weakness: Proprietary video formats (TOD and MTS) and bundled crippleware which adds substantial additional and hidden cost. Very poor technical support.
I would love to use this camera, but it saves its files not in the advertised MPEG-4 format, but in proprietary .TOD or .MTS formats which require a special program to convert it to other conventional formats.
