The Everio G GZ-MG630 Hard Disk Camcorder (Ruby Red) is an affordable, compact camera for the home movie crowd. Whether you're capturing your growing child's first few years or family vacations, the MG630's 60GB hard disk drive gives you ample room to store digital stills or over 14 hours of video on the highest quality setting. Should you need more space, optional microSD/SDHC cards can hold overflow video and stills.

The camera features a 1/6" CCD sensor, a KONICA MINOLTA lens with 40x Dynamic Zoom, and a 2.7" LCD. The display's Laser Touch Operation system gives you control of the camera's zoom and recording functions, along with intuitive menu navigation.

Sharing on social media sites is most definitely in your plans; One-Touch Upload to YouTube offers an easy way to share videos with far off family and friends. Other One-Touch features include, One Touch Upload to iTunes, backup to PC, and DVD creation with the optional SHARE STATION.

Record to HDD or Memory Card
On the highest quality setting over 14 hours of video can be recorded to the 60GB hard disk drive. Overflow footage and stills can be stored to optional microSD/SDHC memory cards.
1/6" CCD Image Sensor
The GZ-MG630 has a 1/6" CCD image sensor for capturing standard definition video and still images. JVC's Gigabrid Engine works together with the sensor for improved image quality.
KONICA MINOLTA Lens
The KONICA MINOLTA lens features 40x Dynamic Zoom, in addition to the lens' 35x optical zoom. Both of these optical zoom settings bring far off subjects up-close without a loss in image quality.
2.7" Widescreen Clear LCD
The LCD on the GZ-MG630 provides a 16:9 display on which to compose and playback video and stills. JVC's new Laser Touch Operation system lets you navigate the camera's basic controls and menu selections on the side and bottom of the screen.
Still Image Capture
The GZ-MG630 doubles as a digital still camera. Just switch to the image mode on the camera and you're ready to record up to 832 x 624 still images to the HDD or microSD card.
