JVC Everio G GZ-MG680 Hard Disk Camera (Onyx Black)
JVC's Everio G GZ-MG680 Hard Disk Camera is a compact and lightweight machine for recording all your family memories. Capture over 28 hours of the highest quality video to the 120GB HDD; extra footage can be stored to optional microSD/SDHC memory cards. Even though the MG680 records in standard definition the video can be up-converted to 1920 x 1080/60P for viewing on your HDTV, using the HDMI output.
The camera also features a KONICA MINOLTA lens with 40x Dynamic Zoom as well as the HD Gigabrid Premium Engine that works together with the 1/6" CCD image sensor. Covering the rest of the camcorder's basics we have the 2.7" LCD with Laser Touch Operation and digital still image capture.
For those who are YouTube crazed, the One-Touch Upload to YouTube will be right up your alley. Other One-Touch features include: One-Touch Export to iTunes, DVD creation, and Direct HD Playback with the optional SHARE STATION.
- Up-Convert to 1920 x 1080/60P
- Using the camera's HDMI output, you can up-convert your already shot video footage to 1920 x 1080/60P high definition for high quality playback on your HDTV.

- 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.
