Product Description

Color: Black

From the Manufacturer

The JVC Everio GZ-MS130 offers a single SD/SDHC card slot and 16GB of internal flash memory, for continuous recording: when one storage medium fills up, recording automatically switches to the other.

Everio MS130 camcorders make sharing and watching videos easier than ever. New for this year is the One Touch Export function that allows Everio videos to be imported into iTunes and loaded into an iPod or iPhone. All 2009 Everios also offer One Touch DVD burning and the One Touch Upload function that JVC introduced to users in 2008 as a new and convenient way to upload videos to YouTube.

To use any of the three functions, simply connect Everio to a PC using the supplied USB cable. Then, choose one of three buttons on the Everio: UPLOAD, EXPORT, or DIRECT DVD. Pressing the button will launch the appropriate Windows PC application that comes bundled with Everio, and you follow the simple on-screen prompts. With just a few mouse clicks the process of uploading to YouTube, exporting to iTunes, burning to disc or transferring to an external hard disk drive will be completed. For uploading to YouTube, the user can perform an in-camera edit of any length video to fit the 10-minute YouTube limit.

The new Everio MediaBrowser software supplied with all Everio models is a Windows application providing an easy-to-search calendar-type graphical interface for indexing and finding video files. Thumbnail images of recorded videos and stills are superimposed on the calendar so it’s easy to see when any scene was recorded. The Everio MediaBrowser also allows easy playback, simple cut editing, and "Decomotion" to spruce up recorded footage with animated graphics for upload to YouTube. It also supports Export to iTunes, Upload to YouTube, burning to disc or transferring to HDD.

Another new feature found on all Everio camcorders is Digest Playback, which offers an easy and entertaining way to check the content residing on Everio’s HDD or SD/SDHC card. The function automatically selects highlight scenes from among the recorded content using JVC’s proprietary algorithm and plays back what looks like a "coming attractions" trailer for a movie. Sixty minutes of footage is condensed into five minutes of highlight scenes.

Other Everio features have been enhanced for 2009. Laser Touch Operation has been updated to allow control of zooming and recording using either the Laser Touch scroll bar or buttons next to the LCD screen, as well as by the standard zoom lever and REC button. And as before, Laser Touch makes it easy to browse through thumbnail images of recorded scenes and access menu selection. Power-linked operation, long offered by JVC, goes a step further this year. Simply opening the LCD monitor automatically opens the built-in lens cover and powers up the camcorder. Closing the LCD also closes the lens cover and shuts down the power. With Quick Restart, recording can start in about one second after the LCD is re-opened.

In addition to performance and convenience, the 2009 Everio line offers plenty of style and shooting comfort. New designs feature elegant curves, a silver-framed LCD and comfortable, angled grips with a new dual-use strap. The strap can be used in the usual camcorder fashion, supporting the user’s hand when shooting, or it can be extended and used as a wrist strap like the type on most digital still cameras.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product, October 11, 2009

This review is from: JVC Home JVC Everio MS130 16GB Dual Flash Camcorder (Black) (Electronics)

I just purchased the JVC Everio MS 130 color blue, a week ago. (I got it at Best Buy). I wanted to say that I am a VERY satisfied customer. This is the first time I've ever bought a digital camcorder. After reading several good reviews on this item I thought I would go and get it myself.

The picture quality is sharp and very clear. The sound is amazing. It comes out loud and crisp. The menus are very easy to use. I had a hard time getting use to the "touch" type of screen. But after reading the manuel that came with the product I realized I was doing it wrong, so after that the screens and the menus were very easy.

I had no problems uploading my videos and burning them onto a dvd. I purchased the Maxwell DVD+R dvd's at Walmart and they played fine on my dvd player. (I have a magnavox dvd player).

I know some people were complaining about loading their videos onto youtub and how the video comes looking like it was squashed. I do not understand this. My video on youtube looked just fine. I filmed in 16:3 and the quality on youtube was great.

I also have a software editing product called Roxio. This program is great for editing my videos. The only problem is that the audio w/ the camcorder is not compatible to this software program. You can still add your own background music to the video but the actual audio attached to your video won't transfer. HOWEVER, do not fret. I have the older version of Roxio. I was told by a prompt on this software that if I upgraded to version 10 the audio would be compatible.

I haven't had any problems with the battery life. I charged it fully two nights ago and filmed a good 30 minutes yesterday and today. I still have a 50% charge. I think the charging percentage could probably be a little higher; but since I was constantly turning the product on and off, filming at different times, it probably wears down the battery more.

What I also love about this camcorder is not only does it come w/ 16 GB of internal memory, there is also two slots to put memory cards into, so you can add additional recording memory to this product!

Overall I am happy I bought this product. I am very satisfied and would defnitely recommend this to anyone who asked.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value camcorder, delivers as promised, September 9, 2009

This review is from: JVC Home JVC Everio MS130 16GB Dual Flash Camcorder (Black) (Electronics)

I'm a camcorder newbie and bought the JVC MS130BU basically on an impulse at Walmart. I wasn't sure what I was getting into, but I took the plunge because I needed a video camera fast. I've now had the camcorder less than a week and am very satisfied with what I purchased. Could you get a better camera, I'm sure that you could, but for a standard definition digital camera, I am very happy with the image quality. The image playback direct from the camera into a 42" Samsung LCD 720p TV is sweet. High definition images aren't needed here. Why spend extra money if you don't need to?

I'm in agreement with the previous review from P.L. Penar that the menus are cumbersome and not as straightforward as I'd like and the 4 gb video file size limitation can be a problem. Also, the included Pixela Software Media Manager makes me scratch my head. Not the most polished of programs, and I wish you could export your videos to file formats that you could edit with other popular video editor. (P.L. explains in his review how to accomplish that). For this, I'm only giving the camera four stars, but it would have five if they could fix this.

Overall, I can't complain about the performance of this sleek, lightweight and compact camcorder. If you're looking for a value-priced, good quality video camera, this one fits the bill the just fine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Early experience good, video format needs conversion, April 1, 2009

This review is from: JVC Home JVC Everio MS130 16GB Dual Flash Camcorder (Black) (Electronics)

I've just begun testing this camcorder, and it seems to work very well. Be aware of two limitations: (1) maximum file size is 4 GB, so the manual says it will create a new file at that point if you are continuously recording. (2) the MOD file format is indeed MPG, and can be copied from the camcorder and renamed as .mpg and edited. However, even when acquired in 16:9, the file has internal tags that tell all Windows software that it is 4:3, so it appears "squeezed" on screen. The solution is to shoot in 4:3 only, or to use DVDPATCHER to change all tags to 16:9 (be sure to keep the other parameters unchanged). Ultrafine has 9100k and Fine has 8400k data rate. The software provided for conversion only converts to WMF at low data rates, so is not useful. Oh, and JVC was completely unhelpful in this regard. They referred me to Pixela technical support, even though the software was not the problem. (I would quote the rather dismissive email, but that would be illegal, according to JVC.)
I do not have an assessment of battery life yet. Menus I would assess to be a bit cumbersome, with scrolling and selection buttons far apart from each other. Overall, though, a good camera -- very narrow in body and light in weight.
