I bought one JVC Everio GZ-MG20U Hard Disk Drive Video Camcorder, and I still have no idea how to change the images (videos) to DVD. Dispite my email to JVC, they never reply to me. So b aware!

REVIEW BY: Shari Reviewed Aug 07, 2007 I love my little video camera, I just wish the resolution on the still shots were a lot better. Can't wait until I only need to carry one camera with me for both my still shots as well as take videos (both with great resolution).

What You Should Know NUMBER OF IMAGES STORED ON A DIGITAL CARD The number of pictures you can take varies depending on your camera model and complexity of the scene being photographed. To calculate how many pictures your card can hold, divide the capacity of your card by the average file size of your images. For example, if you have a 256MB card, and use a camera that has an average file size of 1.2MB, then 256 divided by 1.2 gives you approximately 213 pictures. As you change modes on your camera, the number of images will increase if you shoot in a lower resolution mode, and decrease if you shoot in a higher resolution mode.



MEGAPIXELS AND PHOTO PRINT SIZE The photo print quality of your images depends on the camera's "megapixel rating." The higher number of pixels your camera has, the higher the resolution (or sharpness) of your images---and the larger your prints can be without quality loss.
