The GZ-MG980, GZ-MS230 and the GZ-MS210 have been announced for the Japanese market under the Victor JVC branding. All three models are smaller and lighter than their predecessors, offer a bit more zoom power, and utilize JVC’s brand new “Active Mode” stabilization.
The GZ-MG980 is the most powerful of the three new Everio devices. It features 10.7MP with 1.6″ CCD sensor, produces 720×480 resolution, and comes with an 80GB HDD, an SD/SDHC slot, 39x optical zoom (F1.8〜4.3), a USB port and a 2.7 LCD screen. Japanese street price: $690.With an 80GB HDD storage capacity, the GZ-MG980 is pretty decent.

The GZ-MS230 basically has the same specs of GZ-MS980, It just misses the generous 80GB capacity of the former model, with just 8GB instead. The GZ-MS210 is the most basic of the three, with no internal memory—just two SD/SDHC slots. The GZ-MS210 and GZ-MS230 are available in silver, for $460 and $515, respectively.
