The JVC Everio GZ-MG670 is a member of the Everio G Series Camcorders and is the medium priced member of the three 2009 camcorders in the line. It has an extremely limited choice on color - it only comes in Onyx Black. The JVC Everio GZ-MG670 uses a KONICA MINOLTA LENS that includes an 800x digital zoom and features a 1/6-inch 800,000-pixel CCD image sensor. The sensor is supported by a 40x dynamic zoom magnification that uses all of the CCD pixels without any degradation of the picture quality. It has a 80GB Hard Disk Drive and can handle a microSD or a SDHC card to add on extra space to its already formidable hard drive.
