A tour of the design of the JVC Everio GZ-HD7 camcorder.

Going by feel

One of the nicest things about the HD7's controls is that every single one feels completely different, thanks to various combinations of button shapes, sizes, and textures. As someone who shoots primarily through the eye-level viewfinder--and with the HD7, the battery life is so abysmal you really should limit your use of the LCD--I hate that the menu button lies in the LCD cavity.
