Test: Einzeltest: JVC Everio GZ-HM200 Camcorder
Zitat: There are a ton of HD camcorders on the market that range between $400 and $800. Picking the best out of that bunch is a difficult task, but the GZ-HM200 is definitely a solid prospect. The camcorder offers an excellent value with an MSRP of $579, and it performed well in most of our video testing. The GZ-HM200 does have plenty of weaknesses, although no mid-range camcorder is perfect. In our testing, the camcorder had some trouble with low light sensitivity, and it doesn´t offer much in the way of still image capabilities. We also weren´t crazy about the GZ-HM200´s cheap construction—two of the port covers broke while we were using it—and its right-side hand strap wasn´t very comfortable. We found the GZ-HM200 to be quite simple to use, although JVC´s Laser Touch strip can be frustrating at first. The camcorder has good button layout, a straightforward menu design, and most controls worked adequately in auto mode. While models from other manufacturers do have their benefits, the JVC GZ-HM200 offers solid performance at a fairly low price.
