The new models in the HD Everio line are almost half the size of the previous HD7. The new HD6 and HD5 feature a 120GB and 60GB hard drive respectively, full 1080P 60 fps high-definition video, high-quality Fujinon lenses, HDMI / FireWire / USB 2.0 outputs, MPEG2 compression and 2.8" LCD screens. You'll be able to pick up an HD6 for $1400 and an HD5 for around $1100 in March:
The Everio line of standard definition camcorders feature 30 or 60 GB hard drives, micro SD slots, 7 megapixel camera (in the GZ-MG730), MPEG2 recording and an impressive 30x zoom. At the highest quality setting, the 30GB model can record a little over 7 hours of DVD quality footage. The Everio line will be available soon for between $450 and $600:
