Stay away from JVC Everio Hard Disk Drive Video Camcorder. I bought one JVC Everio GZ-MG20U Hard Disk Drive Video Camcorder, and I still have no idea how to change the images (videos) to DVD. Dispite my email to JVC, they never reply to me. So b aware!

I love my little video camera, I just wish the resolution on the still shots were a lot better. Can't wait until I only need to carry one camera with me for both my still shots as well as take videos (both with great resolution).
