Victor JVC releases Everio GZ-MC200 and GZ-MC100

By Ryan Block

Victor JVC's got two new camcorders about to hit the streets, but since they do not appear to have any official press releases, there's a lot of confusing information floating around out there about the specs of these devices. What seems to be sure is that both appear to support MPEG2 video, Dolby AC3 audio, and NTSC video (take that, Europe!),
which will be saved to a CompactFlash drive up to 4GB. But it gets a little fuzzier: apparently they record at less than VGA resolution, (which won't be too amazing for much else than low-def TV), connect via USB 2.0, and have 10x optical and 20x digital zoom. The MC100 should (could?) start at $1,200, and the the MC200 at $1,300. We'll keep you updated once JVC gets their act together on this release.
