The New JVC GZ-MG505 camcorders have the latest technologies incorporated for top notch image quality. The camcorder uses pixel-shift technology to deliver 5-megapixel quality. It is also capable of delivering a native resolution 16:9 (1173 x 660 x3 effective pixels) and 4:3 DVD movie quality video with higher color rendition. One can also store up to 10,000 still images without worrying about disk space. The essence of a good camcorder apart from its sensor is the LCD. The latest offering by JVC doesn’t disappoint in this department too. The MG505 features a 2.7” widescreen 16:9 LCD which is also capable of live display in 16:9 aspect. The camcorder also includes a built in microphone, a hot shoe and number of USB ports.

The New JVC GZ-MG505 also incorporates the patented Megabrid Imaging Engine which separately processes video and still signal for optimal performance. For the ultimate protection the camcorders have been built to be extra tough and include the JVC floating suspension system that reduces the effects of vibrations through advanced polymer shock absorbers. It also includes a high resolution 10x optical zoom (8x for stills) JVC lens, with 16:9 angles available for video – 35mm equivalent to 41.2mm (43mm for 4:3 stills). To further make life easier for the user JVC has incorporated an on board DVD burner control which can be connected to an JVC DVD burner, the CU-VD10 SHARE STATION.

The camcorder as you may have guessed by now offers a lot of options. Some other features found on this new camcorder include software applications like , CyberLink’s PowerProducer™ 3 NE for authoring DVDs, PowerDirector™ Express NE for editing, and PowerDVD 5 NE for playback. For Macintosh users, JVC provides PIXELA’s Capty MPEG Edit EX for simple editing and Mono DVD for easy DVD authoring. The JVC Everio GZ-MG505 will be available in July for $1,300.00.
