1/2.5" CCD Image Sensor

The 1/2.5" CCD image sensor in this camcorder captures stunning video and stills each and every time you shoot.

Laser Touch Navigation

JVC's Laser Touch Navigation is much like the touch screen menu navigation systems seen on other brands of camcorders, except that there's no need to touch your LCD screen - preventing it from being smudged or damaged. Simply run your finger along the illuminated scroll bar to the left of the LCD screen to browse and select video clips and operate menus for the GZ-MG730.

Everio Dock

The camcorder comes with an Everio dock that connects the camcorder to your PC or Everio Share Station for transferring files or burning DVDs without having to connect cables to the camera. The dock also charges the camera when it is connected.

Elegant Design

The compact size of the camera makes it ideal for travel. Just slip it into your bag and forget about it until you're ready to start recording. The sleek color also adds to the style factor of the GZ-MG730, making you look not only smart but hip.

10x Optical Zoom

The 10x optical zoom brings your subjects in close and clear with no loss in image quality.

Micro SD Card Slot

Record your extra video footage and still images to micro SD cards for easy transfer to your PC for emailing, printing, or sharing on sites like YouTube. Micro SD cards can also be used with PictBridge-compatible devices for fast and easy printing.

Gigabrid Engine

JVC's Gigabrid Engine works to provide you with the best image possible from the 1/2.5" CCD image sensor by using a progressive scan to gather the most information from your footage. Five digital noise reduction technologies also work together to improve the vertical resolution of the GZ-MG730 over previous standard-definition camcorders made by JVC.

Direct DVD/Direct Backup Button

With the touch of a button, you can burn your footage to DVD (using a connected DVD burner) with the Direct DVD button. In a similar fashion, the Direct Backup Button allows you to back up your video to your PC with just the touch of a button.
