| Product Tour Summary | ||||
 • The camcorder does not have a built-in cover for its lens, but comes with a removable lens cover.• The sensor on the GZ-HM340 is smaller than what was featured on last year's JVC GZ-HM200. • The 20x optical zoom lens is a good amount of magnification for an HD camcorder. |

Introduction | (Page 2 of 17) | Color & Noise Performance |  |
 |
| The lens has a 20x optical zoom. |
The GZ-HM340 has a very small CMOS sensor for an HD camcorder, which is why we consider it an entry-level model. The sensor is quite a bit smaller than JVC's mid-range camcorders from last year (like the GZ-HM200 or the GZ-HD300), while the lens has the same 20x optical zoom. One difference with the lens on the GZ-HM340, however, is the fact that it does not have a built-in cover (a removable lens cover does ship with the camcorder).
