JVC continues to wow hungry consumers with their latest camcorders. What with the release of the 3CCD hard-disk-drive-based (HDD) camcorders, the competition is surely intensified. The 30GB GZ-MG505 is JVC's flagship HDD camcorder that combines all the slew of feature there is for a camcorder. It has a 10x optical zoom, 8x for stills, a three 1.3 megapixel CCDs and a
widescreen LCD display that measure 2.7 inches. It even has extra features like 3-dimensional noise reduction and JVC's own Megabrid image processing technology.
If you had trouble before of recording only up to a minimum of four hours or less, this pretty baby can record 7 hours of high quality movie projects comparable to a DVD at 9MBps or 10 hours of videos at 6MBps. You can likewise capture still images using the 2,560 by 1,920 resolution. The images are then stored in the camcorder's SD card.
The new feature from the
camcorder series, Everio, is the 'event selection.' This feature allows you to tag video clips so you have easy retrieval in the future. It also has the DVD burning functions that allows you to control the burning process when the camcorder is connected with the JVC ShareStation DVD burner.
