So why would anyone buy a JVC Everio?

   I just went to a JVC HZ-HD30 hard drive type camera to record
   several hours of video without taking a break. More than the 1 hour
   tapes.  This camera is basically useless. See,,,,, its formatted in
   Fat32. So guess what? Right, the files cant be anything over 19mins in
   length or about 4gb. You have to drop them in the editing software and
   they don't sync up. There is a glitch. Fortunately I had a separate
   sound recording device that saved my arse and I was able to layer in a
   splice right under the sound that dropped out when the "new" file was
   created.

   So what the hell is it good for? And why would any
   manufacturer make a camera like this? Are all hard drive cameras
   formatted in fat32? No, it cant be reformatted in NTFS either by camera or by computer.

   19 minute files, are you kidding me?

    

   Anyone?

    If that's the case, they should call it the Neverio.

   A buddy of mine had one of those too and ended up taking it back.

   I am glad this topic was brought up because I was considering one for a backup and now I know to look elsewhere. Thanks everyone.
