The JVC Everio GZ-HD40 is the world's first AVCHD / MPEG-2 dual-format camcorder allowing access to the superior long time compression afforded by AVCHD, as well as MPEG-2's superior editing and post-production environment. JVC provided the GZ-HD40 with a 120GB hard disk drive for up to 50 hours of AVCHD full HD video recording, and a docking station with the requirements of the consumer or high-end enthusiast in mind.

The JVC GZ-HD40 performance highlights include 1920x1080/60P output, new CMOS chips with Interpolation Technology information beyond the 1920x1080 full HD imaging, 17Mbps high bit rate recording in the XP mode, and HD Gigabrid Duo Engine hybrid image processing chip that includes 7 noise reduction technologies. It also offers full HD 1920x1080 recording in the FHD mode, and up to 50 hours of full HD recording and 5 recording modes including capturing digital still images.

This ultra-compact and lightweight HD camcorder also has advanced operations, including hybrid storage with microSD Card (not included) AVCHD & MPEG-2 Dual format capability, a variety of shooting assist functions and a wide range of manual controls. It has power-linked operation that automatically turns on the camera when you open the LCD so you can shoot right away, and turns off the camera when you close the LCD so you won't waste power. The HD Best Shot Function lets you take high resolution "snapshots" directly from your recorded HD footage, and print them just like you would from a digital still camera. It is equipped with an accessory shoe and mic input and a data battery that allows you to check the remaining battery power and remaining recording time in minutes at the touch of a button, even while the camcorder's power is off.

"The camera was very easy to use and worked immediately with iMovie '08.
