     JVC Everio HDD (hard disk drive) camcorders provide the ability to record high-quality video and audio, with the added benefit of allowing 100 hours or more of recording time (depending on the particular model and recording mode) without the use of multiple cassettes, DVDs or flash memory cards, which are required by many other types of cameras. JVC Everio HDD camcorders can be powered either by connecting the unit directly to the AC adapter or by attaching and charging its accompanying battery.
