If you've been scouting a new camcorder, JVC is kicking out five new models for you to consider, so we'll get right to it. The entire Everio G Series boast a Laser Touch Operation user interface -- explained as "a touch-sensitive illuminated scroll bar just to the left of the LCD monitor screen" -- that gets shown on the 2.7-inch widescreen LCD. Furthermore, the family includes four models (GZ-MG330, GZ-MG335, GZ-MG360, GZ-MG365) with a 680K-pixel CCD sensor and 30GB / 60GB HDDs along with a 30GB flagship unit (GZ-MG730) with a 7.38-megapixel CCD with Primary Color Filter. As for pricing, these newcomers will run you $449.99, $499.99, $549.99, $599.99 and $799.99, respectively, and they'll hit store shelves by next month. For a more complete rundown on specs (and a look at two other hues), take a peek after the jump.

I like JVC, Panasonic and Sony for ProConsumer HD cam's. But, until they ALL offer a removable SSD, and are all on the HD page, I'm not buying.
Seconded. Will buy when they are full HD, and when they are recording in HDV or another high quality format.
As it is, it seems to be a requirement for HDD based camcorders to either not even record in HD, or to use the crap AVCHD format which has a compression ratio so high that it has visible artifacts.
Hoping for that rumored RED produmer cam...
