At CES, JVC announced a new HD camcorder called the GZ-HM1 that they claim to contain a few notable improvements. Essentially, the product is being marketed as a high end camcorder designed for enthusiasts and semi-professionals. The new improvements are centered around increased low light performance, camera-shake compensation, and digital camera still image quality.
A new CMOS sensor helps to alert the camera to increase sensitivity in low light environments and help achieve full HD video recording. In addition, the wide angle image as well as zoom usually fall victim to obvious camera shake. However, using new prism technology such as Advanced Image Stabilizer, JVC hopes to cut down on camera shake producer clearer images. In terms of still image shots, the camcorder can take 10MP images, which is comparable to normal digital cameras.
The camcorder comes with the newly improved Everio MediaBrowser software for Windows. It allows the quick and painless conversion of HD videos to make it smaller and easier to upload to YouTube and other video sharing sites. Media files transferred to this program can be easily put onto iPod/iPhone/DVD.
Expect the GZ-HM1 to be available in March for $1,199.95.
