Everio uses the high-quality MPEG-2 data compression format and JVC's
original codec chip for moving picture recording and a Microdrive, CF
card or SD card as media to save these images. A shock absorption
mechanism for the hard disk has been newly developed for reliable
portability. In addition, Everio has a Super Hi-Resolution Lens, a 2.1
Megapixel CCD and a processor for high-resolution images with optimal
color production. All these factors make Everio a new style of camera.

Still images or video--capture either 60 minutes of
DVD-quality MPEG-2 movies or thousands of super-high resolution
UXGA-size JPEG pictures with the Everio--the first camera to use
Microdrive technology. The included 4GB Microdrive card, though it is
the same size as Compact Flash card, has such unprecedented capacity
because it is has its own built-in HDD (hard disk drive).
The completely tapeless Microdrive format lets you choose higher
video quality or longer shooting times.
Store more photos than you ever thought possible on the included
4GB Microdrive card.
Until now, tapeless formats have been severely limited in the
length and quality of video capacity, but the Everio's Microdrive lets
you shoot up to 60 minutes of high quality MPEG-2 video--and even more
in lower resolution modes. A selection of recording modes lets you
choose more quality or more shooting time. The highest quality ULTRA
mode records at a constant bit rate of 8.88 Mbps with AC 3 audio --
comparable to the DVD data rate (average 4 Mbps video/9.8 Mbps
maximum). Essentially what you get is DVD quality, with the same video
and audio format as a movie DVD. And the number of still photos that
will fit on the Microdrive card is nothing less than awe-inspiring:
More than 5000 of the highest resolution images (1600x1200 fine).
2.12 Megapixel CCD
This 1/3.6" CCD with a total of 2.12
million pixels (effective: 1.23 million for moving pictures, 2 million
for still pictures) offers the high resolution capabilities needed for
high quality digital videography and photography. And the Megabrid
Engine applies separate, optimized processing to moving and still
images, for videos with a high signal-to-noise ratio, and
high-resolution still pictures.
Versatile, Lossless Data

many Gigabytes of capacity. You can eject the Microdrive card, just as
you would a CompactFlash or SD Memory Card, and load data into your PC
via optional card adapter. Or simply connect the camera via its USB2.0
interface for quick downloading to a PC. All transfer is
digital-to-digital, so you won't lose any quality in the process.
