The GR-DVL307 is equipped with a 680,000-pixel pixel CCD sensor, which ensures that videos captured are of good quality, with vibrant colors and decent resolution. Its 16x optical zoom and 800x digital zoom capabilities allow users to capture distant subjects with clarity.

On the other hand, the GR-DVL507 builds upon the features of the 307 with some advanced capabilities. It features a larger, 1.33-megapixel CCD sensor that significantly improves image quality, ensuring sharper images and more detailed video. The GR-DVL507 also includes a more advanced optical zoom of 20x, providing greater versatility for capturing dynamic scenes. This model features a 3.5-inch LCD monitor, which enhances the viewing experience and simplifies frame composition.

Both models incorporate JVC's innovative Video Stabilization technology which further reduces unwanted motion blur. The GR-DVL507 additionally provides options for manual control over focus and exposure, appealing to more experienced users who want greater creative control over their recordings.
