JVC Everio G Series: No disks, No tapes

The JVC Everio Series digital media camera is a revolutionary HDD camcorder that stores video and images on an internal hard disk drive. JVC envisions camcorders of the future as hard drive devices that don't require removable media such as miniDVD discs, DV tapes, or media cards. They will also be really small and light.
Indeed, the Everio like GZ-MG30, GZ-MG37, GZ-MG77, and GZ-MG505 are just that?a compact hard-drive-based camcorder. The body is quite small, at 2.7 by 2.8 by 4.3 inches, and it weighs just a bit more than 13 ounces with battery. But if JVC really wanted to make this the camcorder of the future, the video quality would need to improve. Right now, this innovative approach to home video does not justify spending so much for such mediocre images.
