I have always loved to capture everything that seems to be nice with eye of a camera. I love nature and capturing its beauty. I have played around with still pictures for quite some time. I always desired to have a camcorder, so that I can also capture my memorable moments in moving video. My desire was fulfilled on my last birthday when my uncle gifted this beauty to me. From then I have been using it and I am very satisfied with its performance. I love JVC for producing such a wonderful camcorder.
>Width: 7.4 cm >Depth: 11.8 cm >Height: 7.2 cm >Weight (Without battery): 425 g >Weight (With Battery): 470 g Very compact and light weight. The one I have got is black in colour. It looks very pretty.
>Optical Sensor Type: CCD Sensor >Optical Sensor Size: 1/2.5" >Camcorder Sensor Resolution: 5.4 Mpix This high resolution means you can record your video and still images having very high detail. Thanks to the high resolution you can enlarge your captured images to a high level without losing image quality.
>Widescreen video capture >Media: Hard disk drive Its great to have an integrated hard disk drive. Its 40 GB capacity is enough to record 50 hours of video. Just keep on recording and when no space is left, transfer the data to your computer and start recording again. Its really
fun!
>Optical Zoom: 10 x Without losing any image quality, you can zoom up to 10 x with JVC Everio GZ-MG575 Camcorder. This zoom is more than enough for me.
>Digital Zoom: 300 x If you will zoom to a high level you will surely compromise on image quality. 300 x is too much of zooming, still it is good to have!
>Electronic Image Stabilizer When you zoom to an extent that the image gets blurry, image stabilizer comes to the rescue and tries to sharpen zoom images, by attenuating the level of shaking movement.
>Shooting Modes: Spotlight, portrait mode, sports mode, twilight mode, snow >Special effects: Neutral, Vivid >Colour options: Bright, Natural This camcorder also comes with a bright or natural colour selection mode to make your images as true to life as possible.
>Exposure Modes: Programmed, automatic, aperture-priority, shutter-priority >Auto Exposure Bracketing: 3 steps >Digital Video Format: MPEG-2 >Still Image Format: JPEG >Remote Control: Camcorder remote control – infrared Sit back while you are playing back from the camcorder on a TV. The remote makes it easy to perform certain operations.
>Supported Flash Memory: MultiMedia Card, SD Memory Card, SDHC Memory Card >Hard Drive: Built-in 40 GB Hard disc drive You have got an option to store your still images on a separate memory card. You have got the liberty of using the built-in hard disk drive as well.
>JPEG 2592 x 1944 >JPEG 2304 x 1728 >JPEG 1600 x 1200 >JPEG 640 x 480 >JPEG 2592 x 1456 >JPEG 1920 x 1080 >JPEG 1360 x 760 You can chose between the above resolutions. 2592 x 1944 is the highest resolution you can get, which is pretty impressive.
>Camera Flash: Built-in flash >Flash Modes: Auto mode This camcorder has got a built-in flash which has a range of 2 meters. The built-in flash comes in handy at night.
>Type: Zoom lens - 6.3 mm - 63 mm >Focal Length: 6.3 mm - 63 mm >Focus Adjustment: Automatic, manual >Auto Focus: TTL contrast detection The automatic focus feature of this camcorder is impressive. But if you think you should fine tune it, you have got the manual focusing as an option.
>Optical Zoom: 10 x >Zoom Adjustment: Motorized drive >Filter Size: 46 mm >Features: Built-in lens shield The quality of the lens is just awesome. It's great to work with this camcorder.

Too many to discuss. You can directly burn a DVD by just pressing a button, using PictBridge you can directly print high resolution still images, you have got night mode, auto power save helps extend battery life and and and…… Really the features included are too many to discuss!
For those who love photography and capturing videos, the Everio GZ-MG575 is a must! If you are thinking of buying a camcorder and have money on hand, do give a deep thought to this beauty as well. I think you will be more than satisfied by it performance. I will strongly recommend this product to all those who can afford it. It will prove to be a nice toy in the hands of professionals as well.
