The JVC GZ-MC500 Digital Camcorder is the first of its kind an MPEG-2 hard disk camcorder that captures high-quality digital still images and movies to a 4GB Microdrive. At the heart of the camcorder''s brilliant imaging is its 5 Megapixel 3CCD configuration Megabrid Engine and 3-D Noise Reduction. The pocket-sized camcorder also includes a built-in pop-up flash SD slot rotating handgrip and a digital image stabilizer. Advanced Photo Functions such as an Auto Exposure Dial and a Manual Focus Ring add another level of consumer control. Agile and innovative the GZ-MC500 merges the guts of a high-end digital still camera with the features of a MiniDV camera to create an advanced piece of camcorder convenience.
