Conclusion In terms of measured values the JVC GZ-HM335 is on par with all competitors in the 500 Euro range, and in lowlight situations it even outperforms Sonys Exmor-R sensors.Nevertheless, this camera has three shortcomings that should be taken into account.One of them is the operation which is really awkward and thus hardly encourages the use of the theoretically good manual control functions. The second is the lens without wide angle.Here Sony and Panasonic in particular show much more --definitely a strong argument (not only) in this price range.And thirdly, problematic are also the hot colors, but that of course is a matter of taste.Apart from that the HM335 doesn´t show any real weaknesses compared to its close competitors.The effort to get excellent Full HD quality with a small sensor and a small lens packed into a small body proved too hard for other manufacturers too.Due to the unergonomic menu the GZ-HD300s manual controls are hard to setWhats true for all of these minis: if you dont need your cam to be so totally compact you get more picture quality for 100-200 bucks more.
