New JVC Everio GZ-MC500: World's Smallest 3CCD Camcorder

I4U News - New JVC Everio GZ-MC500: World's Smallest 3CCD Camcorder: "JVC showed at a dealer conference in Prag a new JVC Everio digital camcorder with 3CCD chip technology (GZ-MC500).

The JVC Everio MC-500 is supposedly offering a 5MP resolution through pixel shifting technology. The new Everio is pretty much the same size as the JVC GZ-MC200 (GZ-MC200 measurements: 74.0 x 56.0 x 94 mm) making the GZ-MC500 the world's smallest 3CCD Camcorder. The new Everio is of course also storing MPEG2 video onto a 4GB internal hard drive. JVC says that 6 and 8GB micro drives will be available in 2005. A 10x optical zoom lens and a flip open flash are featured in the new all black GZ-MC500.

The new JVC Everio GZ-MC500 should be available already in March for about 1500 Euros. JVC will show the new Everio at the Cebit 2005. JVC seems to be really on a roll here with their Everio. No other camcorder company is currently offering anything like it."

I will definitly love to have this camera, although 1500 Euros is waaaaaaaaaay too much for my pockets.
