JVC Everio GZ-MG70 2.12 MP 30 GB Hard Disk Drive Camcorder w/10x Optical Zoom

Lots of storage for digital video and still picturesJVCâs Everio G Series camcorders eliminate the need to carry tapes, discs or any media at all, yet can record up to seven hours of DVD movie-quality video or more than 10 hours at DVD camcorder-quality. To put this storage capacity in context, it would take 22 single sided DVD camcorder discs (8 cm/20-minute discs) to hold just seven hours of video at camcorder quality.In addition to native 16:9 and 4:3 DVD movie quality video, the new camcorderâs 2.12 megapixel CCD enables shooting of detailed JPEG photos of up to 1600 x 1200 pixels. The hard diskâs high capacity means that nearly 10,000 photos can be shot and still have room for hours of video, even at the highest quality settings.Despite the enormous storage capacity the GZ-MG70 weighs-in at just a pound with included battery, and is small enough to easily take anywhere. Its design is similar to a MiniDV camcorderâs, which means that itâs comfortable to hold and operate, and includes a large, 2.5-inch flip-out LCD monitor for easy recording. And with multiple interfaces and supplied software (Windows® and Macintosh), itâs easy to view and share whatâs shot.MPEG-2 Video Recording for DVD-Movie Quality FootageThe Everio G series GZ-MG70 offers seven hours storage at 9 Mbps, which is close to the maximum bit rate for DVD movie quality recording, or 10.5 hours at 6 Mbps, comparable to DVD Cam recordings. Two more modes are available for even more recording time. The high quality MPEG-2 recordings are in the same format used in DVD so there is no quality loss when burning them to DVD, and no time and quality wasting conversion.2.12 Megapixel CCD for nearly 10,000 High Quality Still ImagesThe GZ-MG70 is equipped with a 2.12 Megapixel CCD image sensor that enables capture of high quality video and stills. And for the best possible video and still image quality, JVCâs Megabrid Imaging Engine sep
