HD on the go
In an ideal world, you'd be able to take a high definition digital camcorder with you wherever you went so that you'd never miss a opportunity to preserve a moment or event. The only problem is that most HD digital camcorders are about the size of a tennis shoe. Sure, you've got plenty of room for that in your backpack or purse. And the last thing you want to do is carry around a second bag just for the camcorder. Well, there is another option. Making your "ideal world" a reality, JVC presents the Picsio GC-FM1 digital camcorder. Not only does the GC-FM1 record Full HD 1080p video, but it's only the size of a cassette tape case. That's right, it's about the same size as your cell phone. That makes Full HD recording ultra-portable. Further, while a 2.0" LCD viewscreen offers a clear view for recording and reviewing footage, menu-less operation via a few simple buttons makes using the GC-FM1 a cinch. Finally, not only does a USB port offer universal connectivity to your computer, but an HDMI output lets you send your HD footage directly to your HDTV where you can share it with all your friends and family.
And there's still more
Okay, the above headline is a bit of a shameless pun. But it's true. The JVC Picsio GC-FM1 extends its versatility beyond HD video by letting you shoot digital still images, too. And not just any images — detailed 8-megapixel still shots. That's enough resolution even for making 8" x 10" enlargements without sacrificing any clarity or detail. And even after the HD video and still-image abilities, there's still more . . .
Steady now
Shooting conditions are rarely ideal. Sometimes you're walking or running, or you're riding in a vehicle, or dancing, or just not focusing all of your attention on holding the camcorder as steady as possible. Whatever the case, from time to time you're bound to run the risk of shooting some blurry video. Well, not if you're using the GC-FM1, that is. Whether you're shooting HD video or snapping 8-megapixel still shots, the GC-FM1's built-in digital image stabilization dramatically minimizes the effects of camera shake for clean, crisp, blur-free photos.
Ready for the web
One more thing: Because the GC-FM1 records video in .MOV format, all your video is ready to be uploaded to internet sites like YouTube or to other locations like iTunes or your iPod without the need for any video conversion. It's truly ready for the web.
