The revolutionary JVC Everio G series hard-disk camcorders offer unprecedented storage capacity, eliminating the need to carry tapes, discs, or any media at all–yet can record up to seven hours of DVD movie-quality video. They also record more than 10.5 hours at a quality level comparable to a DVD camcorder’s 30-minute mode. The GZ-MG50 has a 30 GB hard disk, is truly palm-sized, and weighs less than 14 ounces with the battery attached. Its design is similar to a MiniDV camcorder’s, which means that it’s comfortable to hold and operate, and includes a large, 2.5-inch flip-out LCD monitor for easy recording. Playback is easy, too, with multiple connections allowing convenient TV playback, dubbing to a VCR or DVD recorder, transfer to a PC or Apple Macintosh for DVD creation, editing, or posting on the Internet, or even burned directly without a PC to a full-length movie DVD disc using an optional DVD burner.

Review By Amazon
Just keep on shooting! Nothing to load, nothing to eject, nothing to finalize. Everio is designed to eliminate your worries. Just keep on shooting, because the built-in large capacity hard drive easily stores hours and hours of your video inside a lightweight compact camcorder. Plus shoot thousands of digital still images. So whether you’re at home or on the go, you’ll always be ready to record or playback your memories.
Review By Crutchfield
The ‘MG57 offers a host of features for great looking video and still pictures. A 1.33-megapixel image sensor lets you capture crisp digital photos and save them to the hard drive or to optional SDâ„¢ memory cards. And this cam uses a 15X optical zoom lens that’s specially designed to gather more light, teamed together with JVC’s proprietary video noise reduction system. The result is a brighter, cleaner-looking picture, even in dimly lit conditions. This cam’s rechargeable battery gives you around 70 minutes of recording time per charge, and you can add a spare battery to extend your recording time.

The 1.3 megapixel CCD captures every detail of your video, and stills at up to 1280 x 960 resolution. JVC’s Megabrid engine deals with video and stills in different ways, so they both look their best. You can store video and stills on compact SD cards, and easily transfer them to your computer or printer thanks to PictBridge and DPOF compatibility. 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.
