Question
I have a JVC GZ-MG130U and like it very much.  Have a friend
with a 12MP SLR, thinks my camcorders is not much.  What
kind of comparison are we doing here?  Confused!

Answer
You can't even compare.  First of all, I doubt your video camera has more than 2 or 3 mp.  But pixels aren't the real issue.  It's about print quality and lenses.  And your lens was designed to do video.  It's really not very good at still images.  Of course if your friends camera could do video, it wouldn't be very good at it.

Expertise

I can answer questions about point and shoots and 35mm SLR`s from the 1960s to present. I can also handle most questions on digital cameras from "camera" makers, like Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Sony, etc. Though usually I`m not too familiar with the driver interface, as 3rd party devices for download are more efficient. Sorry, but I can no longer answer questions about the value of old cameras.
