I need a nicer one. So tell me what you think
Answer
It is a no-name piece of crap. Whether or not it uses MiniDV tape (only one current consumer camera still does by the way) or not isn't the issue at all. Stick with quality name brands. Canon, Panasonic, JVC, Samsung, Sanyo and Sony come to mind. I can't think of any camcorder under $150 that quite frankly isn't a waste of money.
I got this for $119 a few weeks ago. Good luck still finding it.

Right now you see the models that were introduced in 2010 having their prices slashed. New models often pop up after the Consumer Electronics Show of late January-early February. That's when the 2011 models were shown. Most hit the shelves 4-6 weeks later. 2010 models at bargain basement prices were common a week or so ago, but now pickings are slim. Good luck.

Do all JVC everios have the same size thread?
Zach
mine is the gz-hm320BU and it fits a 37 mm fisheye lens my friend wants to get an everio but he's getting a different model i want to know if his will also fit a 37 mm fisheye or not
Answer
Many JVC Everios have no thread an cannot support a lens filer or add-on lens. The GZ series are consumer grade. Your GZ-HM320BU was new in 2010. Consumer cams change about every 18 months, and yours is no longer available. This does not mean it is somehow "bad" or "obsolete - it is neither... but just the nature of consumer electronics.
JVC does not exactly make it easy on their website. But follow these steps:
http://camcorder.jvc.com/product.jsp?pathId=171 displays the current Everio high definition camcorders.
On any of them, click on "Compare".
Under "Select models to compare", click the top one to select it, then the right arrow. Or shift-click to select multiples (or all) and click the arrow to have them appear in the window to the right. Click "Display Chart". Scroll down to "Filter Diameter." Some have a 40.5mm or 46.0mm spec, but most are blank, hence, no threads. Remember (or write down) the models with the filter spec, then go back and see if those are any your friend wants to get.
That 37mm fisheye will also fit any other manufacturer's camcorder with the same 37mm filter spec. If it is decided to get a camcorder with a different filter diameter spec, see if you can find a "step-up" or "step-down" ring to be an adapter.
