New JVC Everio Line Offers a Compact, Stylish Camcorder to Meet Every Need

2009 line includes palm-sized new high definition models, hard disk and memory recording, more color choices and new sharing options.

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- JVC today announced a new line of Everio camcorders that offers innovations in video sharing, dual storage memory models and hi-def camcorders no larger than their diminutive standard definition counterparts. For 2009, what the Everio line offers is choice - in storage medium, color and sharing. The line includes hard disk drive (HDD) models, memory camcorders, and for the first time dual memory models, including standard and high definition dual SD memory card camcorders, the world's first dual card slot models. There's also a standard definition model that combines SD card recording with internal flash memory. For sharing, all 2009 JVC Everios make it easy to watch videos on an iPod(R) or iPhone(R) by exporting videos to the user's iTunes(R) library with the new One Touch Export function provided by bundled software for Windows(R). This joins the One Touch Upload function for uploading to YouTube(TM), for 2009 a feature available on all Everio camcorders, and One Touch DVD Creation function for easy archiving and sharing by disc, a long-time Everio feature. All 2009 Everio camcorders are extremely compact, with the high definition models for the first time the same size as standard definition Everios that use the same media. In addition, more models offer color options for 2009, and the choice of colors has expanded to six. The 2009 JVC Everio line includes three HD Everio models that all record 1920 x 1080 full HD video. The GZ-HD300, with 60GB hard drive, and the GZ-HD320, with 120GB hard drive, offer HDD storage for extra-long recording times. The GZ-HM200 offers dual SD card recording, with continuous recording from one card to the next, and is one of the smallest and lightest full HD camcorders available. In standard definition, there are three new Everio G series models - the 60GB GZ-MG630, the 80GB GZ-MG670 and the 120GB GZ-MG680. The Everio S series of memory camcorders includes two models - the GZ-MS120, with dual SD card slots, and the GZ-MS130, with an SD card slot and 16GB of internal flash memory. All dual memory models offer continuous recording. Availability and pricing:
