JVC Everio GZ-HD3 - Camcorder - High Definition - 570 Kpix - optical zoom: 10 x - supported memory: MMC, SD, SDHC - HDD : 60 GB

The HD lens of the GZ-HD3 was developed by camera specialist, KONICA MINOLTA, to ensure optimal lens performance for use with 3-CCD image sensor and MPEG2 recording technology. The result is an extremely detailed picture with clear contrast and strong presence throughout the image - the type of stable and consistent performance that becomes essential when recording images at HD specifications.Three 1/5" Progressive Scan CCDs with Pixel Shift TechnologyFor bright, realistic colors the HD Everio uses three 1/5-inch CCDs - one each for red, green and blue. Naturally, by having dedicated CCDs for each primary color, the camera is able to gather the maximum visual information, which leads to more realistic color reproduction and presence. Using Pixel Shift Technology, the Red and Blue pixel locations are shifted relative to Green, allowing the sampled color information to be quadrupled through interpolation.The GZ-HD3 is equipped with a built-in video light that automatically illuminates the scene if you are recording video in a dim environment. The palm-sized GZ-HD3 is easy to take anywhere, with a lightweight and compact body weighing a mere 1.5lbs (670g) including battery. It also offers point-and-shoot simplicity so no crucial scenes are missed, plus manual controls for more ambitious users.
