CES 2006: JVC adds Everio cams

(Display Name not set) Camcorders

As expected JVC is adding to its line up of Everio hard disk based camcorders. At CES it has announced four new models; a pair of 20 Gigabyte cams – the GZ-MG21 and GZ-MG27 and two 30 Gigabyte models – the GZ-MG37 and GZ-MG77. The big innovation for this year is that all the camcorders can be teamed up with a DVD burner for direct footage transfer even if the owner doesn’t have a PC. JVC has also upped the transfer speed too.

The top-end GZ-MG77 has a 1.9inch 2.3 mega pixel CDD, a 10x optical zoom lens and a 2.7inch monitor. The other three models have lower resolution 680k CCDs, but offer a more powerful 32x optical zoom. The 30 gig models can house between 7-37 hours of video storage with the 20 Giggers having 4.5-25 hours. All four models will be available in the US in February /March. There is however no sign of the promised HD compatible Everio. Maybe that’ll follow later in the year.

  • I hope JVC reads this comment!!!

    I currently like your GZ-MC500US. It’s been out for a while, so I’m waiting for a 720p version that records in mpeg4. Also, an image stabilizer, data buffering, shock absorption and night vision would be a few nice touches. It’s already got some other niceties like removable Hard Drive, compact size, ability to record in Dolby Digital Audio and 10x optical zoom.

    I’d pay $2000 USD for a product like this.

    Crossing my fingers! Please please please… JVC
