JVC’s newly announced Everio cameras are aimed squarely at consumers who want to be able to store entire vacations worth of video without slurping it down to their laptop. They come in two flavors: the cheaper model has a 60GB hard drive, while the latter doubles the drive space to accommodate almost 29 hours worth of MPEG-2 video. And if that’s not enough for you, both models are expandable with 8GB microSDHC cards.
They aren’t available in the States yet, but bide your time: when they are released, you can expect a price roughly around $750 for the 60GB and $810 for the 120GB.

Blazing Saddles voice: DCULBERSON is right. I have a 30GB Everio with a full size SD right there on the bottom. So, why? Also, I must say, 120GB? What are you going to do? Never take anything off? I already got the business from friends and loved ones for trying to fill the 30GB on one trip.
Rarin’!
They’re cool, but .. why on earth would something that big have a MicroSD slot? It makes sense on a small phone where there is very limited space. But a full size SDHC slot would’ve allowed larger capacities, and there’s almost certainly room for one.
MPEG2? How 2004.
