JVC has launched their newest line of Everio Hard Disk Camcorders, the Everio G lineup which features a new, super-slim design.The four models in the Evrio G lineups include two 800K-pixel; the 30GB GZ-MG330 and 30GB GZ-MG335, and the two Megapixel models; the 30GB GZ-MG435 and 60GB GZ-MG465.

The 30GB GZ-MG330 offers a 35x optical zoom, and is available in three gem-like colours: sapphire blue, ruby red or diamond silver. The 30GB GZ-MG335, which is available in diamond silver, offers the same functions as the MG330 plus an Everio Dock for easy connection and charging. Both the the 30GB GZ-MG435 and 60GB GZ-MG465 feature a 1.07 Megapixel CCD and are available in onyx black. 

All products come with a 12 month international warranty and available nationwide.

A new innovation found on all 2008 Everio G Series models is the Laser Touch Operation user interface – a touch-sensitive illuminated scroll bar just to the left of the LCD monitor screen. Simply moving a finger up or down along the scroll bar allows the user to browse through and select video clips to view or edit, and operate menus for camera set-up. 

The 2.7-inch widescreen LCD’s high-resolution GUI is linked to Laser Touch movements, and the feature eliminates the risk of smudging or damaging the screen that users face with a touch-screen interface. And to provide better LCD visibility when shooting outdoors, the display features a new Auto LCD Backlight Control.  

Easy Shooting, Easy Editing and Easy Archiving 

The Everio G Series offers a triple advantage of easy shooting, easy editing and easy archiving. Archiving is made especially convenient with the optional SHARE STATION DVD burner, which for 2008 sports a dramatically slimmed-down design that makes it much easier to carry along when travelling. One touch of the camcorder’s Direct DVD button transfers footage from the camcorder to a SHARE STATION DVD burner or PC to automatically burn a DVD containing all the footage, selected footage or new footage only. 

The Direct Back-up button backs-up recordings to a PC through a USB 2.0 high-speed interface to free-up camcorder hard disk space. A DV (IEEE 1394: i.LINK) output on the Everio dock allows easy dubbing to DVD or hard drive recorders, and enables footage to be imported using many third-party NLE (non-linear editing) applications. Some basic editing can be done without a PC. Scene playback order can be rearranged within the camera, and 20 preset title screens can be inserted into the footage while viewing it or burning it to a DVD. These colourfully designed title screens are linked to the menu language setting, so they can be displayed in a wide selection of languages.

Picture Quality 

Picture quality is maximised by the use of an F1.8 KONICA MINOLTA LENS on most 2008 Everio G Series camcorders. This high-performance lens,captures precise, bright images, yet is small enough to have allowed JVC to develop a compact camcorder. Also adding to the picture quality is JVC’s proprietary Gigabrid Engine that integrates various noise reduction technologies to improve the signal-to-noise ratio by about 30 percent (3dB) over previous models without that technology. 

Printing, Storage and Extras 

All models also feature PictBridge compatibility for direct printing, microSD card slot and USB mass storage compatibility, and come with a convenient remote control. The JVC Data Battery allows remaining recording time to be displayed on the LCD even when the camera is off. Power-Linked Operation powers up the camcorder and engages the standby mode simply by opening the LCD, while Quick Restart starts recording just about one second after the LCD is re-opened.
