The next tier in the range is a brace of shooters with 1.07-megapixel CCD chips. The MG435 stows video in a 30GB hard drive, while the MG465 has 60GB. Both include a 32x zoom.
Each of the new range can be connected to the ShareStation, pictured, for one-touch backup.
Fans of still photogaphy may not be swayed by JVC's claim that the GZ-MG530 and GZ-MG730 do away with the need to carry a separate camera. But both these 30GB models pack an array of camera features, including shutter and aperture priority, auto exposure bracketing, backlight and spotlight compensation, and an onscreen histogram.
The MG730's 1/2.5-inch CCD sensor boasts 7.38-megapixel resolution, while the MG530 delivers 5.37 megapixels.
