More information from the press release:
With a 60GB built-in hard drive the JVC HD Everio provides up to five hours of full HD 1920×1080i recording at a high 30Mbps(MAX) Mbps. To ensure the best possible image quality, it features three CCDs and a Fujinon lens. Other features include optical image stabilization, a full array of manual controls, multiple digital connections, bundled editing and archiving software, and availability of an optional HD Everio SHARE STATION for easily transferring footage to disc..
In addition to its highest quality Full HD recording mode that records five hours of full HD 1920×1080i MPEG2 Transport Stream video with MPEG 1 Layer 2 audio, the HD Everio offers a long seven hour SP mode with a resolution of 1440×1080i, and a 1440CBR mode with a resolution of 1440×1080i and a five-hour capacity. Also, because it records in the MPEG2 Transport Stream video format, HD Everio recordings can be archived onto Blu-ray discs using provided software and a high definition Blu-ray recorder.
For bright, realistic colors the HD Everio uses three 1/5-inch CCDs – one each for red, green and blue. In addition, to ensure precise prism/CCD registration, JVC has incorporated Fujinon mounting technology used in professional camcorders. Fujinon also supplies the HD Everio’s 10x optical zoom lens which provides superior optical performance and nearly the same brightness (F1.8-1.9) throughout its f=3.3mm~33mm zoom range by virtue of its three aspherical lens elements, one made of indexed glass. In addition, the lens surface is coated with a new Electronic Beam Coating (EBC) that greatly reduces degradation caused by light reflecting off the lens surfaces, leading to greater light transmission and reduced flaring and ghosting. To preserve that quality, the HD Everio features optical image stabilization, avoiding the signal degradation caused by electronic image stabilization, which might be particularly noticeable in HD footage. In short, HD Everio matches its high-definition recording capability with a proven HD lens section that has proven its value in the broadcast industry.
While the HD Everio offers fully automated operation for point and shoot simplicity, it also offers a wide range of manual controls. These include a manual focus ring, manual white balance, exposure control, shutter priority mode, aperture priority mode and sharpness control. In addition, a Focus Assist function displays the edge of the in-focus elements in color while the rest of the image is black-and-white, making it easy to check which image elements are in focus. And a Zebra function displays a striped pattern across highlight areas on the image in the LCD monitor, making it easier to manually set the exposure. Also included is a mic input for connecting an external microphone.
The HD Everio is equipped with three digital interfaces – USB, HDMI and i.LINK. USB is primarily for file saving, HDMI for digital viewing on large screen displays, and iLink streams high definition video in full resolution or 1440CBR mode. HD recorded material is down-converted for output in DV over i.LINK, or in standard definition via the analog component/ S-Video/ Composite output.
The HD Everio camcorder also connects to an optional JVC DVD burner, the HD Everio SHARE STATION CU-VD40, with a USB 2.0 cable and is controlled directly through the camcorder. The SHARE STATION can be used to create HD data discs to archive HD video clip files and writes to both DVD-R and DVD-RW discs. It also allows for the creation of digital stills in a JPEG format. Dual-layer DVD-R is also supported, which means that the combination of the HD Everio and the CU-VD40 provides a PC-less solution to the high-capacity archiving needs of HD content. HD and still files can be played back in ultra-high quality via the CU-VD40’s HDMI output without the use of a computer. The HD Everio SHARE STATION also allows easy playback of archived files, without having to use the camcorder. Separately from the HD Everio, the CU-VD40 can be used as a DVD burner for PCs.
For editing and archiving via PC the HD Everio comes with the Cyberlink BD Solution software suite for Windows. This includes PowerDirector for HD video editing, PowerProducer for authoring high definition Blu-ray discs and DVD-Video discs, and PowerCinema for HD file management and playback.
Optional accessories for the HD Everio include a 46mm telephoto and a 46mm wide conversion lens, a battery charger and three additional batteries including standard, high power and extended power. Additional options include a stereo microphone.

JVC Everio GZ-HD7 Reviews
CamcorderInfo has a review of the JVC GZ-HD7 and writes, “With three 1/5†CCDs, a 10x aspherical Fujinon zoom lens, a microphone input, conversion lenses, direct Blu-ray compatibility ,and an impressively complete bundle of editing and authoring software, this camcorder is sure to generate even more buzz than it already has. As the first consumer camcorder to shoot and record true 1920 x 1080i video, referred to by JVC as “full HD†recording, the HD7 looks to be a strong challenger in a HD market that has been dominated by Sony during the past few years. With a compact body and an understated external layout, this $1799 MSRP camcorder should appeal to shooters looking for high-performance and convenience. Though details remain shrouded in JVC’s veil of mystery, the focus ring and the added control dial suggest that there are some manual control surprises in store under the HD7’s hood.” Link.
CamcorderInfo has a final review of the JVC GZ-HD7 and writes, “The much-anticipated JVC GZ-HD7 is another case of so-close-yet-so-far. It is the only consumer camcorder that feels and handles much like a prosumer model, with dedicated buttons for manual controls, an excellent focus ring, and an excellent Focus Assist. It includes a very nice removable lens hood, feels balanced in-hand, and is generally very good ergonomically. On top of all these great attributes, the HD7 is an HDD-based camcorder, allowing for day-long shoots without having to keep track of media, or laboriously digitize footage. Yet, for a device that looks and feels like a mini-prosumer cam, the absence of a headphone jack audio level adjustments is surprising and disappointing. JVC has also made some compromises in terms of video performance. On balance we like the look of the HD7’s footage, but its very saturated and its resolution is lower than any HD camcorder we’ve tested this year.” Link.
Consumer Guide has a review of the JVC Everio GZ-HD7 and writes, “While the GZ-HD7 maintains the convenience and easy operation we’ve come to expect from the Everio series, it is capable of delivering breathtaking video images. In addition to the usual automatic controls for point-and-shoot enthusiasts, the GZ-HD7 offers a comprehensive array of manual controls, including a focus ring and white balance and exposure controls. Alternately, you can select aperture or shutter priority modes. … The GZ-HD7 is noticeably larger than JVC’s standard-definition Everio hard-disk models, but the increased size and weight is a worthwhile compromise considering the performance and optical setup of this HD camcorder.” Link.
Digital Trends has a review of the JVC Everio GZ-HD7 and writes, “Its form factor and control layout are excellent. The manual adjustments take this up a big notch compared to competitors. And the amount of storage is amazing. That said, it is expensive and the video in less-than-optimal conditions was not as outstanding as one would expect from a HD camcorder. And the optical image stabilization wasn’t that effective, especially when compared to the recently reviewed Canon HV20. My dream camcorder at this stage is the HD Everio that delivers Canon-level video and has that company’s OIS. Somehow I don’t think I’m going to see that collaboration. And so the search for the ultimate sub-$1,500 USD HD camcorder goes on.” Link.
Gizmodo reviewed the JVC Everio GZ-HD7 last month and wrote, “Looking at its picture in a 720p monitor, we realized that yes, this is the real thing: tack-sharp HDTV with a camera small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Never have we seen such great video coming out of a camera so small and so cheap. It doesn’t feel cheap, though, and we were also highly impressed with its f/1.8 - 1.9 Fujinon zoom lens, 10x optical glass that’s plenty fast and crispy-critter sharp. … we found the colors to be vibrant and true without being overbearing, and the overall impression is that this is definitely HD we’re dealing with, and its sharpness is impressive.” Link.
Trusted Reviews has a review of the JVC Everio and writes, “The JVC GZ-HD7E is close to what a lot of people have been looking for – a high definition camcorder which looks to the future and ditches tapes in favour of the convenience of hard disk storage. But unfortunately, as with the AVCHD camcorders when they first came out, JVC has forgotten something important: editing. This isn’t entirely JVC’s fault, and at least the Cyberlink software supplied does the job. But if you wanted to use this camcorder for video editing more elaborate than PowerDirector can provide, you will currently be disappointed. … Overall, JVC’s GZ-HD7E is a very capable camcorder but until more applications support editing, its output will remain one for the gadget-hungry consumer rather than more serious enthusiasts.” Link.
PCPro has a review of the JVC Everio GZ-HD7 and writes, “The HD7’s image quality is average. We’ve noticed fair amounts of noise from the AVCHD format, and MPEG2 certainly beats that. But HDV still goes one better. The JVC acquits itself well in good outdoor illumination, with decent colour fidelity, albeit a little oversaturated. But video quality is only half the story. The HD7 is held back by the lack of compatible software. Although it offers a FireWire connection and is detected by Windows, we couldn’t get any software to capture from it. Instead, the USB port must be used to access the hard disk as a removable drive.” Link.
Techradar reviews the JVC Everio GZ-HD7 and writes, “There’s no doubt that the HD7 comes with a hefty price tag, but when you consider all the work that’s gone into it – namely that fantastic lens and CCD combination – and the quite glorious results that it’s capable of, it’s difficult to think of a better way to spend your money.” Link.
Howstuffworks reviews the JVC Everio GZ-HD7 and writes, “The Everio GZ-HD7 represents a series of firsts for JVC. This is the first consumer camcorder to record in full 1,080i HD resolution, and it is also the first high-definition Everio camcorder to record directly to a hard disk. In addition, this is JVC’s first consumer model to feature a third-party lens. The broadcast-caliber Fujinon lens with 10X optical zoom is normally found only on JVC’s professional cameras, which should give you a good idea of the video quality you can expect from this HD camcorder.” Link.
Videomaker reviews the JVC Everio GZ0HD7U and writes, “The HD7 is crammed with features meant to appeal to many different types of shooters. There’s even a standalone ShareStation unit (sold separately) that allows you to burn and archive your footage to DVD, for those of you who want to enjoy the high-definition video later or don’t have or want to use a computer. At first glance, the great manual features and quality construction make it appealing to those aspiring to professional work. The overall video performance, however, is only average, and the lack of serious audio capabilities probably makes it better suited to the hobbyist who needs long recording times.” Link.
