With a lightweight design that's 30 percent smaller
than previous models, the JVC GR-D270 MiniDV
camcorder is an affordable choice for recording
life's most important moments--from family
gatherings to vacations. But it doesn't skimp on
features, with a 25x optical zoom lens, large
2.5-inch swing-out LCD, and the NightAlive function
for shooting in low-light conditions. It also adds
the Live Slow slow-motion function and ability to
save digital stills to a memory card.

| 25x
optical zoom combines with digital zoom for
a whopping 800x magnification factor.

The GR-D270 has a
680K-pixel CCD with 340K effective pixels for video,
and it can capture still photos in two resolutions
(1024 x 768, 640 x 480 pixels) and store them on an
optional Secure Digital (SD) memory card. Other
features include electronic image stabilization,
color viewfinder, Web camera functionality, auto
illumination light, multi-language on-screen,
Firewire, S-Video, USB (for photos), and composite
video out connections. It also offers manual control
of white balance, shutter speed, and aperture focus.
JVC's new Live Slow
effect slows down the next one second of video to
1/4th speed so it takes 4 seconds to play the next 1
second of video at a slower speed--perfect for
shooting sporting events or studying your golf
swing. The camcorder only slows down the video and
not the audio.

| JVC's
Data Battery displays charge levels on the
Clear-View LCD.
|
The Clear-View LCD
monitor suppresses diffusion of internal light to
deliver a brighter image and also reduce reflection
and glare from external light so that images are
always clearly visible even when shooting outdoors
in sunlight. The Data Battery function uses a new
style of battery to communicate the remaining life
to the camcorder, which will display the amount of
time available both if the LCD is open and if it's
closed with the press of one button on the camcorder
battery.
The Super High-Band
Processor that restores the high-band components of
the luminance signal ensure a crisp picture with 520
lines of resolution. The enhanced low-light
sensitivity of the NightAlive function lets you
capture clear, full-color night images without
relying on infrared rays, which results in color
images and no limit on the shooting range.
The GR-D270
measures 4.4 x 2.2 x 3.7-inches (L x W x H) and
weighs 0.9 pounds.
