» JVC New Camcorders for 2008
(January 2008)

JVC has Announced several new camcorders, and a collection of
DVD/VCR combo devices for CES 2008. The camcorders are led by
the 7.4-megapixel Everio GZ-MG730, which holds a 30GB hard
drive, and uses a CCD sensor with a primary color filter. The
main feature is said to be its double-use as a still camera,
since it not only incorporates flash, but also shutter and
aperture priority modes, exposure bracketing, backlight and
spotlight compensation, and a histogram view.
The remaining four Everio hard drive cameras are limited to a
680,000-pixel resolution, and do not have still picture modes
mentioned. They do however have 35x optical zoom and
illumination lights, plus in the case of the higher-end GZ-MG360
and MG365 models, doubled hard drive space (60GB). The
lowest-end GZ-MG330 is available in three different colors: red,
blue and silver.

The two new MiniDV camcorders, the GR-D850 and D870, also
feature 35x zoom and illumination lights. The D870 though is the
only camera update with Dual Recording -- the ability to snap
stills while shooting video -- and Live Slow, which merges
slow-motion footage with live audio.
The DR-MV100B and DR-MV79B are DVD/VCR combo recorders, and are
capable of upconversion to 1080p through an HDMI output. The two
can also read the DivX codec, a relatively rare feature on
recorders that can be useful for burning archives. The MV100B
alone is equipped with an ATSC tuner, allowing it to record
over-the-air HD on a timed schedule.
Finally, the HR-XVC11B/12S is a straight-forward DVD/VCR combo,
whose only major feature is the ability to run timed recordings,
as with the above units. No dates or prices have been published
for any of the camcorders or recorders.
