Like all the Everio G Series camcorders, the hard drive means no DVDs or tapes need to be carried around.
The Everio GZ-MG505 is a five megapixel camcorder that combines a 3-CCD image device and a 30GB hard disk drive which will give you up to seven hours of high quality recording. And in Eco mode you could get over 37 hours of video footage.
Theyve also added a high-performance image sensor for high-resolution JPEG photos of up to 2560x1920 pixels and a huge 10x digital zoom or 300x optical zoom.
While adding all this technology the GZ-MG505 will only weigh 510g including the battery.
You can expect to pay around £999.99 for the Everio GZ-MG505.
