The JVC Everio GZ-MS120 is a tiny flash camcorder with a tiny lens. The JVC GZ-MS120 camcorder hasn’t a viewfinder, so adding a bigger battery is not much of a problem.
Our Rating 
(4/5)
Good: Good video quality for its class; manual controls; small, comfortable design.
Bad: No inputs; questionable YouTube friendliness; no optical image stabilization; thin grip strap.

“Keeping standard-definition minicamcorders competitive against cheaper pocket video cams capable of 720p HD video has basically come down to two features: storage and optical zoom.”

techsuave reviews the JVC Everio GZ-MS120 and writes:
“Even though the MS120 is compact, it is extremely cosy to use and does feel and appear nice, regardless of being wholly plastic. It is also available in three colors : black, blue, and red. The battery takes up the majority of the back ; there’s about enough room for the record start / stop button to the right of it. On top are the zoom rocker and a snapshot button.”
