JVC GZ-MG365 HYBRID 60GB HDD/MICROSD CAMCORDER (BLACK) PAL CAMCORDER

JVC's GZ-MG365 Hybrid 60GB HDD/MicroSD Camcorder (Black) improves on the MG360 by including an Everio Dock. The Everio dock connects to the camcorder allowing you to transfer files to your PC or burn disks in the Share Station without extra cords and cables. And, like the MG360 the 60GB hard disk drive provides up to 14 hours and 20 minutes of recording time in the ULTRA FINE recording mode. In the even that you need to shoot even more, you can also record extra video footage and still images to MicroSD cards. In addition, the 1/6" CCD sensor, in tandem with the Gigabrid Engine, produces high quality video and stills every time you shoot.

If you weren't already impressed, consider that this camera also features Laser Touch Navigation, a system that lets you scroll along the side of the LCD screen, instead of on it, for menus and browsing through video clips. This camcorder also boasts 35x optical zoom, Quick Restart, a Konica Minolta lens and Direct DVD and Direct Backup buttons among other great features. The affordable yet sleek and functional GZ-MG365 could be just what you've been looking for.

60GB Hard Disk Drive

The 60GB hard disk drive can hold just over 14 hours of footage in the best recording mode (ULTRA FINE) and up to 75 hours in ECO mode. Forget about the days of carrying around extra tapes or DVDs, with this much recording space no matter how long your record the GZ-MG365 will be able to keep up.

1/6" CCD Image Sensor

Laser Touch Navigation

JVC's Laser Touch Navigation is much like the touch screen menu navigation systems seen on other brands of camcorders, except that there's no need to touch your LCD screen - preventing it from being smudged or damaged. Simply run your finger along the illuminated scroll bar to the left of the LCD screen to browse and select video clips and to operate menus for the GZ-MG365.
