JVC GZ-HD320 and GZ-HD300 targeted at female users

Available in "Precious Silver," "Rouge Red" and "Royal Blue", wonder if they will release a "Hello Kitty Pink" version ;)

The products measure 53 x 68 x 113mm and weigh 325g. The size is as small as that of the company's GZ-MG330, a camcorder that supports the SD-video standard. While using an HDD as a recording medium, the new models have "a size equivalent to that of the SD-card models," said Kenji Asakawa, manager of the Product Planning Department at the Camcorder Division of JVC.

To reduce the size and the weight, the company made two improvements. One is the zoom lens developed in collaboration with Konica Minolta Opto Inc. In order to support high resolution images while reducing the diameter of the lens, the companies revised the layout of the lens. Compared with the GZ-HD40, JVC's existing HD camcorder, the lens volume was reduced by 40%, according to the company.
