Design

Most Everio camcorders from JVC have traditional, horizontal body designs that look like your everyday consumer camcorders. The GZ-GX1 fits this description for the most part, although its large 3.5-inch LCD panel gives the camcorder a bit of a strange look on the left side. Instead of a round shape on the left, the GX1 is almost perfectly flat, and the LCD panel extends a tad higher than the rest of the camcorder body. It's not so strange that the camcorder looks unusual, but the appearance is slightly off. Don't get us wrong, we are always fans of large LCD screens—we just wish the shape and position of the panel melded better with the body of the GX1.
