DVSpot reviews the JVC GZ-MC500 Camcorder here. This is JVC’s 4GB Mcrodrive based Camcorder that’s also a bit too expensive although I love the concept of recording to a hard drive as opposed to a tape. Here’s a refresher of some of the specs for this camcorder:
* Three 1/4.5-inch 1.33 megapixel CCDs for high-quality image capture
* 5 megapixel-class digital still recording up to 2560 x 1920 pixels (JPEG file)
* records 60 mnutes of DVD quality video
* Weight: 400 grams; volume: under 480 cubic centimeters
Their verdict?

The JVC Everio GZ-MC500 is an interesting concept that needs more refinement and a lower price in order to be competitive with things like DVD camcorders. With a selling price of $1500, the MC500 is one of the most expensive camcorders on the market. It does, however, have 3 CCDs, though you can buy these from other manufacturers for well under $1000 these days.
