JVC GZ-MG77 Hard Drive Camcorder
We were a little confused at first was the JVC Everio GZ-MG77 a hard drive or a DVD camcorder we had to re-read the press release twice. The long and short of it is that it is Hard Drive Camcorder that can burn DVDs without the help of a PC. The only catch is that you need to purchase the optional $200 Share Station.
Users can shoot to their hearts content and until their hard drives fill up of course, use the camera's built in function to select and rearrange scenes, connect to Share Station via USB 2.0 and then burn their movies onto DVDs.
The speed though isn't far from ideal though. For example one hour of video footage takes about 45 minutes to burn to a disc.
The camcorder features a 1/3.9-inch 2.2 megapixel CCD, 10x optical zoom, 30GB of hard disk space and a 2.7-inch LCD. No price point has been announced for its February or March release but we estimate it should retail for about $800-900. The Share Station will be available in April. www.jvc.com.
