JVC GZ-MC500 4GB HDD Camcorder Ships Early!

The new HDD Camcorder from JVC, the GZ-MC500 started to ship from Amazon.com.

Originally the shipping date was June 15th, but our records show that Amazon.com already shipped some of the new JVC GZ-MC500 camcorders. Amazon.com also changed the text in the listing saying the camcorder is in stock soon.
