The GZ-MG555 Everio G Camcorder continues JVC's fine tradition of producing revolutionary camcorders. What makes the GZ-MG555 so special is its ability to record videos and pictures to an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) as well as to an SD or SDHC (High Capacity) memory card. This eliminates the need to purchase the recording medium because it is built in to the camera. The GZ-MG555's 30 GB drive can store up to 37.5 hours of video, and more than seven hours of DVD-quality video, in the MPEG-2 format, with 2-channel Dolby Digital audio that is just as amazing as the video. The 5.4 megapixel CCD captures every detail of your videos and stills at up to 2592 x 1944 resolution. JVC's Megabrid engine deals with videos and stills in different ways, so they both look their best. Connect Everio to your computer by USB 2.0, S-video or AV outputs and make your own DVDs. A complete software suite is included.
