JVC GZ-MG130U HDD Camcorder Product Details

JVC GZ-MG130 Hybrid Video Camera
The JVC Hybrid Video camera can record on two mediums-the internal hard drive for digital video or a SD-flash card for still photography. The hard disk drive can hold an impressive 30GB of video-that equals an estimated 37 hours of standard quality recording. You can record at even more detailed settings-up to 7 hours of ultra fine detail video! The SDHC/SD flash card slot will allow you to record, transfer, and travel with your digital still pictures, which can be up to 640x480 resolution quality.

Detailed CCD Sensor, Incredible Zoom Functions
You’ll capture all of the action (and all of the details) with a 1/6-inch, 680,000-pixel CCD sensor. The 34x optical zoom allows for real physical magnification for recording fast-moving memories, with minimal blur! When you’re really, really far away, increase your magnification still further with an ultra-powerful 800x digital zoom. The GZ-MG130 has a 2.7-inch, true 6:9 ratio LCD for widescreen review of video and pictures. Watch what you’re filming in real time!

Easy to See, Easy to Use Controls
The JVC Hybrid Video Camera has controls designed to be easy to use and find. The stick-based control makes it easy to switch between functions-review, record, and save/store both video and still digital photographs. Helpful features like automatically illuminating buttons, battery length/charge information, quick restart standby features, Direct DVD and Direct Backup button, even an included remote control make operating the GZ-MG130 that much easier. This digital video camera even features a USB 2.0 connection for high-speed transfer of images and video directly to your home computer! Join many customers who are part of the JVC community.

Stay away from JVC Everio Hard Disk Drive Video Camcorder. I bought one JVC Everio GZ-MG20U Hard Disk Drive Video Camcorder, and I still have no idea how to change the images (videos) to DVD. Dispite my email to JVC, they never reply to me. So b aware!

I love my little video camera, I just wish the resolution on the still shots were a lot better. Can't wait until I only need to carry one camera with me for both my still shots as well as take videos (both with great resolution).
