JVC GZ-MG555


The JVC GZ-MG555 camcorder, also known as the JVC GZ-MG575, was produced by JVC in 2007. It records standard definition MPEG-2 video onto either a built-in hard disk drive, or on a secure digital memory card in MOD format.
Video can be recorded in four quality settings: Ultra Fine, Fine, Normal, and Economy. The built-in harddrive has capacity of 30GB and can hold up to 7 hours of video when recorded at the highest quality setting.
When recording to a memory card, the recording time depends only on capacity of the card. The GZ-MG555 uses full-size SDHC memory cards. One 4GB card can fit roughly 1 hour of video at highest quality setting. There are no limitations for using any of the recording formats when recording to a memory card.
In 2007 this camcorder had the largest imaging sensor for a consumer camcorder, 1/2.5". Other distinguishing features of this camcorder include:
Lacking from the camcorder is an optical viewfinder, headphone output, focus ring and full manual mode.
