JVC Everio GZ-MG40 1.33 MP 20 GB Hard Disk Drive Camcorder w/15x Optical Zoom

Which format of Digital Camcorder should I choose? Tapes or DVD? How about no tapes or DVD's at all! That's the concept of the JVC Everio G Digital Camcorder. The state of the future is solid and you can get it right now.

The benefits of recording video to a hard disk are the same benefits that have made hard disk-based audio players so popular random access to quickly locate desired material, the ability to effortlessly delete unwanted material, and easily rearrange the playback sequence. What's more, there's no danger of mistakenly recording over something that's to be saved. Scene selection is made easy thanks to on-screen index images, so the large amount recorded won't become a hindrance to quick accessibility. And with remote control operation, it is possible to connect the Everio G camcorder to a TV and operate it from a distance, just like a DVD deck. Playlist operation allows recording of desired clips directly to DVD with the optional DVD burner, or directly to VHS or other analog input devices with the S-Video or Composite video output for perfect copies every time.
