FEATURES

The GZ-MG335 30GB Hybrid HDD/Micro SD Camcorder from JVC adds to the allure of the entry level MG330, by including an Everio Dock. This dock sets the MG335 apart because it not only charges the camera, but it connects to your PC or Everio Share Station for transferring files or burning DVDs without having to run cables to the camcorder. Like the others in this product line, it comes with a 1/6" CCD image sensor, working in tandem with the Gigabrid Engine to provide high quality video and stills every time you shoot. And, let's not forget that the 30GB hard disk drive provides up to 37 and a half hours of recording time.

If you weren't already impressed with this camcorder, consider that it 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. The MG335 also features 35x optical zoom, Quick Restart, a Konica Minolta lens and Direct DVD and Direct Backup buttons among other features. This camcorder is not only stylish and user friendly but affordable, making it attractive on more than more level.

Micro SD Card Slot

Micro SD cards can also be used with PictBridge compatible devices for fast and easy printing.

Gigabrid Engine

JVC's Gigabrid Engine works to provide you with the best image possible from the 1/6" CCD image sensor by using a progressive scan to gather the most information from your footage.

Direct DVD/Direct Backup Button

With the touch of a button, you can burn your footage to DVD (using a connected DVD burner) with the Direct DVD button. In similar fashion, the Direct Backup Button allows you to back up your video to your PC with just the touch of a button.
