JVC Everio GZ-MG20U Video Camera

I bought the 20GB model and love it!

When I plug it via USB to my Mac, it mounts as a hard drive. Now, instead of relying on software to do clip separation from a stream of video from tape, you have each clip as a separate file. You just drag and drop each clip into your favorite movie editting program afterwards.

The one thing I don't like about it is its low light sensitivity. There is a large amount of noise that gets into the video sooner than with other DV videocameras that I have used.

There is a small light mounted on the front which helps, but it doesn't throw light very far.

Otherwise, it's a very small compact videocamera that works pretty well.

Buy it from amazon.com
