JVC GZ-HD3 – not bad HD camcorder with HDD

This is a Full HD camcorder, which enables you to shoot in 1920 x 1080 resolutions to an internal 60 GB hard drive, providing the clearest video when viewed on your HDTV. The internal hard drive provides a tape free format with an SD/SDHC expansion memory card slot, in case you need more for recording or to capturing still images. Combine this with the compact, modern design of the HD3 and you have a camcorder that not only captures excellent images but also can go anywhere you go, without being conspicuous or cumbersome.
JVC GZ-HD3 Key Features
- The Konica Minolta HD Lens for the GZ-HD3 provides the best performance for the 3-CCD sensor. Clear, beautiful images are the result with this made for HD lens.
- The compact design of the GZ-HD3 allows you to take a camcorder anywhere you go. Weighing only 1.5 lbs the camcorder fits in a pocket or small bag - you will forget it is even there.
- The built-in light on the GZ-HD3 automatically comes on when you are shooting in a low-light situation.
- In an effort to get the shot and save your battery power, JVC designed the GZ-HD3 so that it automatically turns on when the LCD screen is opened and turns off as soon as it has closed.
- You can check on the amount of battery power you have left as well as the camera's recording time with this function, available with JVC Data batteries only.
- By dedicating each of the 3 CCD Sensors to pick up red, green, and blue when shooting the GZ-HD3 provides you with natural color rendition. Pixel Shift Technology shifts the red and blue pixel locations relative to green, quadrupling the color information via interpolation.
