The GZ-MG130 Everio G Camcorder continues JVC's fine tradition of producing revolutionary camcorders. What makes the GZ-MG130 so special is its ability to record video and still pictures to an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) as well as to an SD or SDHC (High Capacity) memory card. This eliminates the need to purchase the recording medium because it's built right into the camera. The GZ-MG130's 30 GB drive can store up to 37.5 hours of video, and more than seven hours of DVD-quality video in the MPEG-2 format, with 2-channel Dolby Digital audio that's just as amazing as the video.

The 1/6" CCD captures every detail of your videos and stills at up to 640 x 480 resolution. JVC's Megabrid engine deals with video and stills in different ways, so they both look their best. 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.

30 GB Hard Disk
Everio records to SD(HC) memory cards, or to its built-in 30 GB hard disk that gives you up to 37.5 hours of recording time! Imagine, no more tapes or DVDs to buy!

The 32x optical zoom gives you a great close-up look at your subjects. The digital 800x zoom pulls images in from even farther.

Comments about JVC GZ-MG130 Everio G Digital Media Camera:

I have never owned a video camera before and I just got this one yesterday! This thing is amazing! It is small, easy to use, zoom's really far, and the sound quality is superb. I didn't even need to read the directions to begin using it. The only reason I looked at the directions was to put the strap on. I love this thing and can't wait to get some good video with it.

Expertise: Beginner

Problems Encountered: None!
