JVC GZ-MC500 Digital Media Camera Revealed

The JVC GZ-MC500 has a better image sensor than the JVC Everio GZMC200

JVC is coming up with a refresh of their Everio line of Digital Camcorder/Camera with the JVC GZ-MC500. It brings significant improvements compared to the previous model, the JVC Everio GZMC200:

• 5 Megapixel still images (from 2)
• 3 CDD image sensor (from 1 CDD)

This Uber-Camcorder records videos and still images on a removable 4GB microdrive that can store up to 1 hour of DVD-quality video. Additional microdrives cost about $180. Using microdrives is infinitely more convenient than tapes, because of the fast random access. The files are also ready to be burned on a DVD.
