The JVC Everio gz-mg70 is a hard disk camcorder meaning
that it does not require a tape to capture video footage.
You can store up to 30 GB of digital video footage, which
works out to be, 4 hours and 50 minutes of recording time.
The GZ-MG70 is a mini sized digital camcorder that is very
compact, fitting in the palm of your hand. Besides being

Cnet does a review
of the GZ-MG70, they write - As DVD camcorders begin to offer
serious competition to MiniDV cameras, JVC's Everio line
adds another option to the mix: hard drive storage. The
compact JVC Everio GZ-MG70 offers a whopping 7 hours of
video storage on its iPod-like 30GB hard disk. The high-end
GZ-MG70 boasts sharper video quality and much better stills
than the lower-end GZ-MG30U but still falls behind competing
classmates
David Kender over at camcorderinfo.com reviews
the Everio gz-mg70. He writes, The GZ-MG70 sells for
around $800, an expensive first step for most consumers.
This is JVC's top of the line in the G-Series, which use
non-removable hard drives for storage. JVC believes their
Everio G-Series represents the future of camcorders. They
have picked up on three notable features – portability,
simplicity, and capacity – that seem to mark the direction
in which the industry is bound to shift. And we can’t
argue that point. Camcorders are getting smaller each year,
and the writing is on the wall for tape media. But before
we can reach that land of milk and honey, where solid state
cams weighing less than a feather can produce video of unparalleled
quality, the path must be built to get there.
