I bought GZ-MG37 camcorder of JVC with 30GB built-in HDD. I got an error saying "HDD ERROR". When I took the camcorder to the service center, they opened it and said my hard disk was damaged because they were ANTS inside the Harddisk casing.
When I asked how can Ants go inside the casing, they said "they will place some semi-solid type of materials for supporting the hard disk, but it atracts ANTS".
And now the deal is "cost of the new HDD is RS.15, 000/- INR where the new camcorder price is RS.25, 000/- INR. And the best part was THE HARD DISK IS OBSOLUTE i.e it was not under manufacturing after a year of product release".
I tried JVC-USA, JVC-INDIA, they cannot guide me with an equivalent Harddisk to replace. Hitachi(harddisk used) is no more manufacturing the product.
The only option I had was to replace the HDD by paying 15, 000/- INR and take a RISK again or buy a new CAMCORDER.
So, buying JVC GZ-MG Series is "AT YOUR OWN RISK" after warrenty.
