Verdict: If this camcorder cost under £500, we'd give it a much higher rating. But for its quadruple-digit price, we expect far better performance and video quality from the JVC Everio GZ-HD7
Pros: ; Nice manual features; attractive design; high-quality audio; low-noise, low-light video
Cons: ; Ineffectual optical stabiliser; needs a built-in ND filter; some horizontal jitter and stuttering during playback; low-resolution video; sad battery life
