JVC Everio GZ-EX250 Pro Reviews

The JVC Everio GZ-EX250 is a decent entry-level camcorder for its features, less so for its video quality. If your main goal is a small, fully automatic camcorder for preserving memories and getting better results than your smartphone, it's a fine option. The 40x zoom lens and the Wi-Fi do make it more appealing, but no optical image stabilization and the limitations on the wireless functions hurt the package. Still, it can capture things you simply can't with the fixed lens of a smartphone or minicamcorder, and you'll be able to upload on the spot. And frankly, you'll have to spend more money to get better video with the rest of this camcorder's features, so it's really up to your video quality needs versus your feature needs and budget. If you want to shave about $80 to $100 off the price, though, I suggest getting the GZ-EX210 and buying a large SD card; it'll be less expensive in the end.
