Ever wish you had just one piece of equipment that could record to a hard disk, MiniDV, and DVD? Maybe not, but think of the space you’ll save now that JVC has taken the step of squeezing all three functions into a single deck. The new SR-DVM70US has a 160 GB hard disk where video can be edited before being transferred to a DVD-R, DVD-RW or DVD-RAM. (Sorry, format completists- this deck has no DVD+RW support.) The deck also comes with 18 menu patterns that can be used as templates for burned DVDs. Price: $1795
