Customer Review: Warning from Video Novice
Summary: 1 Stars
*
I rarely write a one star review, but I strongly felt that purchasers should be warned about this camera. I am a satisfied user of the Flip Mino and a novice video maker on YouTube with 95 videos; I felt ready to upgrade to something better, so we eagerly anticipated our JVC Everio camera. It was a breeze to figure out how to use, and resulted in very high quality videos as seen on the camera itself. I was delighted! My husband was very excited to use it as well, since he wanted to add a video component to his business.
However, once we tried to upgrade the video clips for editing, we had problem after problem. We spent hours individually trying to get the camera to work and to search out solutions on the Internet to no avail. Increasingly frustrated, we finally called JVC. They said that this Everio will not work on computers without Vista! We were astounded as this was not mentioned anywhere in their promotional material on Amazon. They also said that we could buy more software from them from $39 to $99 to get it to work if all else failed; this was a bit of bait-and-switch we thought, so we declined.
We were able to procure a Vista computer and were hopeful about being able to keep the camera, since it is just what we needed. Unfortunately, neither of us were able to get it to work even then. It was especially frustrating and even infuriating because all of JVC's literature refers to the software as easy and states that you "simply follow the prompts". It was not easy. Not. Easy. My husband is very tech saavy; we are both professionals. We simply couldn't do it. Today we gave up the struggle and are relieved to be returning it.
You may be able to get this camera to work, but unless you're willing to gamble with that, I would strongly advise against purchasing this product. Of the more than a thousand reviews I've written, I have never so vehemently panned a product.
Strongly not recommended.
