JVC Everio HD camcorder

Posted by: Mark Peters Sunday 31st, January 2010

JVC announces the launch of the new GZ-HM1 HD Everio camera offering a full slate of technologies to optimize picture quality. The JVC GZ-HM1 offers improvements in three key areas - low light performance, camera-shake compensation and digital still quality. As a result, the JVC Everio GZ-HM1 is ideal for high-end video enthusiasts and semi-professionals. In the area of low light performance, the JVC GZ-HM1 camcorder provides superior results thanks to a new CMOS sensor that boosts sensitivity to four Lux (compared to nine Lux for the previous GZ-HM400) for brilliant recording of 1920 x 1080 Full HD video. In camera shake compensation, JVC made improvements in wide angle performance, an area not typically addressed.
