From the Manufacturer
High quality optics and digital technology combine to push the limits of MiniDV, making the GR-DZ7 a super-advanced, palm-sized wonder. The camera's 1/3.6" CCD with a total of 2.12 million pixels (effective: 1.23 million for moving pictures, 2 million for still pictures) comprises a superior image sensor with the high resolution capabilities needed for high-end videography.
11-element lens
The 9-group 11-element lens structure features a high-precision glass-molded aspherical lens to maximize performance while minimizing overall lens size. Made specifically to meet the highresolution demands of the 2.1 Megapixel CCD, this 10x optical zoom lens delivers superior resolution and contrast to assure high fundamental quality for video and still shooting.
Megabrid Engine for optimal video and still quality
Applies separate, optimized processing to moving and still images, providing high sensitivity and a high signal-to-noise ratio for videos even in low-light conditions, as well as clear, high resolution still images that deliver beautiful quality prints. RGB based processing assures more rich and realistic color reproduction.
3-Dimension Noise Reduction (3D NR)
This frame-based noise reduction provides more accurate noise reduction based on twice the visual information of conventional field-based types. Reduces video noise by 30% in low light for a 2dB improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio. So even in low-light situations, it's able to minimize noise while maintaining high picture quality.
Conventional 3D NR
Conventional 3D NR is fieldbased, comparing fields A and B that make up a frame and thus offering limited accuracy since it compares odd and even scanning lines.

New 3D NR
JVC's new 3D NR compares field A to field A, and field B to field B, across two frames, so it detects noise components in the same lines between the two frames.
