JVC has launched a bunch of new HDD-recording camcorder recently but the most interesting one is Everio GZ-HD6 that comes with a special feature : it outputs video at 1080/60 pace. The HD6 packs the same 3-CCD full HD sensor system, 10x optical zoom lens and thanks to its 120GB hard drive it can store about 10 hours of max-resolution video. Oh, wait! We haven’t finished yet. There is something even more magical at this one : its conversion engine. Even if it records in MPEG2 1080i, the camcorder uses a conversion engine to fire out a 1080/60p signal through HDMI to your HDTV. According to JVC, this seems to be a world premiere in this domain. Anyway, to see if the video viewing quality worths or not, we’ll have to wait until mid-February to buy it in Japan at a price of ?170,000 (aprox. $1,600) on the HD6 or ?150,000 ($1,400) on its 60GB sibling, the HD5.
