3-CCD Technology
The compact, 5-megapixel JVC GR-X5 MiniDV Camcorder records images to a
Microdrive instead of tape so downloading takes minutes instead of the
long hours that tape recording can require. Simply drag and drop your
files from memory card to hard drive. The GR-X5 features three
individual CCDs, each one specifically dedicated for red, green and
blue, which together produce true-to-life color. A Megabrid imaging
engine separately processes video and still images, limits noise and
enables clear, high-resolution images to be captured. With its
lightweight design, the GR-X5 fits in the palm of your hand. List
