JVC Everio GZ-MG77 / 67 Hard Disk Camcorders
More hard disk based camcorders flooding into the market, this time from JVC Victor. Makes you wonder why these companies even came out with DVD camcorders only to phase them out. The JVC Victor Everio GZ camcorders come in two flavors:
- THe MG67 with 20GB hard disk space
- The MG77 with 30GB hard disk space
For heaven's sake, why can't they just launch the 30GB model? Both models feature a direct-DVD function, using which you can burn your recordings on to a DVD. You do need to purchase a separate DVD-writer though. The hard disk is protected from bumps using a shock absorbing gel layer around the drive and with a 3D acceleration sensor. The Everio can function as a 2 megapixel still camera. I suspect that they can take in an external SD card as well. The Everio is quite compact weighing in at 370 grams.
Sales start in Japan from the 1st of March. Pricing is yet to be announced. Should be selling in the States and Europe soon.
