More on JVC's high-definition Everio camcorder

by Thomas Ricker, posted Sep 29th 2006 at 9:00AM

We just babelfished a bit more information out of Japan this morning on JVC's new high definition Everio camcorder. JVC confirms that their hi-def HDD cam will feature a trio of 1/5-inch CCDs like their GZ-MG505 camera and will shoot 16:9 at 1080i like we had assumed. So if you need to shoot in 1080p and can afford it, well, you'll just have look elsewhere. The new Everio will also be the first to slap on a FUJINON lens presumed to bring a 10x optical zoom judging by the print 'round the ring. We expect to see some working prototypes on display at CREATEC Japan where more information will surely roll.

With how large the images are on this site now, you could start labeling them as "actual size"!

I like the idea of hard drive camcorders.

I have an old JVC GR-D90US mini-dv model. It has a unique analog input feature, which is great for dubbing. I wish these Everios had that too.

Has an MSRP been announced yet?

And how big will the hard drive be? Hopefully since it's HD, they'll up the HD size to accomodate it.
