JVC Everio GZ-HD320 First Impressions Camcorder Review

Other Features

One-Touch iTunes Upload
This feature is a PC-only method to transfer clips from the camcorder to your iTunes library. Once there, the iTunes conversion engine can resize the clips and place them on your iPod and iPhone. It's a great feature not so much because JVC surmounted some bug engineering problem, but because it made the process a little easier, and ease of use is the whole modus operandi of iPod.

One-Touch YouTube Upload
Similar in operation to the iTunes upload, once the included PC-only software is installed, you can speed the upload process to YouTube. Of course, it's not actually one-touch; it's several steps, and only a little easier than doing it completely on your own. We're holding out for a camcorder with built-in WiFi or 3G which has actual one-touch upload.

Face Detection
New this year is the ability to recognize and correct exposure for faces. JVC claims the ability to recognize up to 16 faces.

Video Light
The small, weak video light on the front of the GZ-MD320 can be set to turn on and off automatically or manually. It can also be used in still photo mode.
