Aside from an HDMI cable, this is pretty much all you need in terms of connectivity and accessories. A larger battery pack would be a wise investment.

Other Features (2.0)
Data Battery/HDD Index - A feature found on all Everios, the Data Battery/HDD index feature allows the shooter to evaluate the remaining battery life and HDD recording capacity via a vertical bar graph and pie chart. Battery information can be accessed by pressing the battery/index button located at the top of the LCD panel.

Drop Detection - Walking back to the parking lot after a long Epcot run with the family, you accidentally trip over Grumpy. Your GZ-HD3 is catapulted into the air at a significant trajectory. Cross your fingers that drop detection is on, because if the GZ-HD3 lands flat on its face, you might have lost the entire day’s worth of cinematic magic. Drop detection will save the day by shutting off the camcorder the instant it senses a rapid shift in gravitational force and removing the write/read needle from the HDD. Though your GZ-HD3 might be sitting in a heap of rubble, you can rest assured your footage will most likely remain intact.

Digital Effects - The GZ-HD3 is equipped with a modicum of digital effects: Sepia, Monotone, Classic Film, and Strobe.
