JVC just announced 4 Everio camcorders with all the advantages of an iPod, not to mention it includes a similar 20GB and 30GB 1.8 in. Hard Drive instead of MiniDV tapes or DVDs. They ve also (finally) added Mac support and might be partnering with some 3rd party to make a DVD burner for the camcorders.
The GZ-MG20 and GZ-MG40 have a 20GB internal hard drive while the GZ-MG30 and GZ-MG50 have 30GB internal hard drives. The camcorders include 1.8″ hard drives, manufactured by Hitachi. Because of the hard drive mechanism the camcorders are very small and light weight (14 oz.). The best step in technology with the new Everio’s is the fact that consumers will not need to purchase a large number of removable media such as MiniDV tapes or DVD discs to operate their camcorder.
