Everio G Series camcorders are available in two versions offering a maximum 37 hours or 25 hours of recording. Their large capacity internal hard disk drives mean you can record such a great amount of video without a second thought. The max. 37 hour version comfortably records 10.5 hours at DVD quality using a 30GB hard disk.

The max. 25 hour version records 7 hours of DVD-quality video on a 20GB hard disk. Additional modes let you extend recording time even further. Keep your video library stored on Everio's hard disk with direct access to scenes for playback, and transfer the best scenes for sharing over to your video deck, computer or optional DVD burner.
