The newest member of the JVC Everio camcorder family is the GZ-HM340, with 16GB of internal Flash memory, a 20x optical Konica Minolta zoom lens, 1.37 megapixel CMOS sensor and image stabilization.

Some other features include one-touch upload to YouTube, face detection and an SD / SDHC expansion slot. This camcorder is set to arrive later this month for $500. We aren’t sure if it captures anything other than AVCHD or not.

Not bad at all.
