WE RECOMMEND

Recently JVC announced their new HD Everio GZ-HD3 camcorder. The new camcorder is smaller than the other HD camcorders from JVC and is said to have a 60GB HDD and the ability to record to SDHC cards as well. That effectively means unlimited recording, so long as more SDHC cards are available.

The cam records in 1440 x 1080 in MPEG-2 TS, so it’s not a full blown HD camcorder. Currently there are no hard specs available on the camcorder such as retail price or availability. You can tell from the images that the camcorder will have a 200x digital zoom, but available optical zoom us unknown. This type of hybrid camcorder makes it very easy to transfer video to and from your computer via USB or SDHC card readers.
