Looking for a camcorder to record your growing child's firsts? The GZ-HD300 Everio High Definition Hard Disk 'PAL' Camcorder (Onyx Black) from JVC gives you true 1920 x 1080/60i recording, to your choice of the 60GB HDD or to microSD/SDHC memory cards. Every memory will come across beautiful and life-like on your HDTV, thanks to the 1/4.1" 3.05MP CMOS sensor, GENESSA processing, and the HD Gigabrid Premium video engine. The KONICA MINOLTA HD lens and 2.7" LCD help by giving you a lens specially designed for capturing HD video and a wide display on which to compose and play back your video. Let's not forget the AVCHD UXP mode with a bit rate of up to 24Mbps, for improved clarity and detail.

While you're out capturing all those videos, you'll probably want to shoot some photos as well. Don't worry about having to lug around a camera too; the HD300 doubles as a digital still camera that boasts 1920 x 1080 resolution and Face Detection technology.

When you're ready to share little Johnny's first steps, uploading the special moment to the Internet, is easy. The camcorder features One-Touch Export to iTunes and One-Touch Upload to YouTube - taking the hassle out of the entire sharing process. The HD300 also features Direct DVD, which makes burning your video to DVD on your computer as simple as it gets.

Hybrid Recording
Record over 5 hours of 1920 x 1080 high definition video to the 60GB hard disk drive in the GZ-HD300. Should you need extra space you can also store video and still images to removable microSD/SDHC flash memory cards.
3.05MP 1/4.1" CMOS Sensor
The 1/4.1" CMOS sensor in the HD300 captures video and stills with true HD clarity and quality. Helping the sensor do its job would be JVC's HD Gigabrid Premium video engine, which optimizes image quality along with reducing the camera's power consumption, and GENESSA processing to make the most out of the HD signal.
KONICA MINOLTA HD Lens
The KONICA MINOLTA HD Lens is specially designed for capturing Full HD video and stills and features a 20x optical zoom, which brings far off subjects up-close with virtually no loss in image quality.
2.7" LCD Display
The LCD on the GZ-HD300 provides a 16:9 display on which to compose and playback video and stills. JVC's improved 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-HD300 doubles as a high resolution digital still camera. Capture beautiful 1920 x 1080 JPEGs with the camera and save them to the HDD or microSD/SDHC memory cards.
