Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The GZ-MG505EK from JVC has been declared as the Best Camcorder of 2006 by TIPA. It spearheads the Everio family. The GZ-MG505EK too takes pride in having all the wonderful qualities that give the Everio range of products its envious reputation. The GZ-MG505EK gives an unmatched image grain to all your shots thanks to its unbelievable Tri-CCD system. It creates sharp and vivid images by dedicating a 1.33 (1.23 effective) megapixel CCD to each red, green and blue colour. JVC's advanced prism optics and filterless 3-CCD pixel shift technology quadruple the pixel count to a record 5 megapixel-class stills. In 16:9 video mode Everio uses 774,180 effective pixels for each RGB colour for full resolution 2.3 Megapixel imaging. Thanks to the broader dynamic range, you can enjoy videos with truly realistic colours and digital stills up to 2560 x 1920 pixels for beautiful A4 prints. JVC optics using three-dimension angle mounting technology assures high precision prism/CCD registration with extreme accuracy on the order of one micron. In fact, this innovative technology enables each primary colour of the image to benefit from a dedicated sensor that guarantees extremely natural recordings. The 10x powerful optic zoom restitutes even the minutest details of the shot. The panoramic mode enables you to record your videos in the 16/9 mode with a 720 x 576 pixels maximum resolution. The storing mode of the camcorder is yet another delight that the GZ-MG505EK has to offer: It has a 1.8" mini hard disk and a capacity of 30 Gb! You can record up to 37 hours of video or 7 hours of high quality digital recording. You can then write the recordings on your DVD using the USB connection without even switching on your computer. It has a diagonal 2.7" (6.9 cm) antireflection LCD screen. The GZ-MG505EK is very easy to use. The direction button is close to the screen. The presentation interface in the form of thumbnails ensures an easy navigation on the camera menu. In addition, the INDEX/DATA button enables you to know the balance capacity of the battery and the hard disk space available. The GZ-MG505EK has a remote control and this makes using the camcorder easier. It combines performance and user-friendliness- just like all the other equipments from the Everio range.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 6 Mar 2007
    By Mr. F. Mirza (Eastbourne, England) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    Bought this camcorder recently and I am not disappointed, it is as good as it says it is. There are a few ups and downs which are below.
    It records at the resolution of 720x560, at the Ultra fine settings, and the 30GB hard disk can record up to 7 hrs of footage (which is more than enough if using it for home videos) and 14 hrs on the economy quality settings. I haven't used it on the economy settings so not sure what the quality is like. The quality of shooting indoors and at night time is very impressive too, much better than my previous Sony DVD-202E with 800k CCD. The camera does becomes hot after about two hours of continuous use, about which it warns on the camcorder. Neither on the website nor does here it tells you what the battery life is, so I bought a extra battery . The battery it comes with is small in size and lasts up to 45 mins, so if you are thinking of shooting longer than that then an extra battery will help, the one being sold here last up to 250 mins but is much bigger in size.
    It record in .MOD format, which when I changed to .mpg extension worked with all the normal media players. It connects to PC via a USB and files and be copied directly from the cam to the PC without requiring and software. It come with CyberLink Power DVD solution, which lets to play, edit and make the captured video into DVDs, or any other preferred media.
    The only drawback is no view finder, the battery could have lasted longer with the viewfinder. Shut the LCD and the cam shuts down as well. The LCD is also a good quality, not as excellent as in Sony camcorders but it serves the purpose well. There is a small analogue to navigate through the options, the settings are quite simple. Took me about an hour to understand all of them (without reading the manual, as my camera didn't have one in English and the power lead is European too!!)
    It does works best in manual settings as the Auto settings over expose. The still picture quality is just satisfactory, although it does say 5 mega pixels but it is no near to a normal 5 mega pixel photo camera.
    As the only cam of its type in the market (non HD 3 CCD), it is a good value for money too and the prices seem to be dropping soon as Panasonic have introduced their first 3 CCD camera which is also High Definition, competing both SONY and JVC and is priced almost same as the SONY high definition camera.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, 30 Jan 2007
    By G. WILLIAMS "gipsymagpie" (UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This camcorder combines a camcorder and stills camera in one. The video quality is excellent from such a tiny thing. The video quality is great and the convinience on the hard disc is great...just plug into the usb 2.0 of your computer and its just like a portable hard drive. The video files are called .mod files but bizarrely all you need to do is rename the file as .mpg and it works fine! I haven't used the supplied software for video editing but it's a stripped down version of Cyberlink's Power Director software. For stills it takes an SD card so it is just like a normal camera.

    Now a year on I can say that the stills and video suffer in poor light. But the wedding video I made with it was truly awesome. No faffing with tapes. Instant review and the flexibility to flick to stills in a few seconds. The stills are beautiful in natural light.
