JVC has announced a trio of 4K camcorders that include two compact camcorders and a Super35 camcorder with a Micro Four Thirds lens mount. [Read more…]
4K is the big buzz phrase this year. Camera-wise though, the selection is still a bit slim. Sony showed off its new FDR-AX100 and Panasonic featured a prototype 4K Lumix camera. Additionally, JVC had its 4K version of the PX100 on display as a reference exhibit at CES 2014. The camera was tethered to a 4K display and streaming 4K footage from its HDMI port.
JVC recently launched the GC-XA2 ADIXXION action camera. While the name is a bit awkward, the first-gen ADIXXION came out of nowhere with some pretty cool features, including a 1.5″ LCD built into the camera and a 5x zoom. However, user complaints about battery life and WiFi connection left a big question mark next to the camera.
The second generation model now sports 1080/60p and 720/120p HD video (up from 1080/30p and 720/60p in the first-gen) for some serious slow motion capability. Like its predecessor the GC-XA2 sports a built-in 1.5″ LCD, which I thought was a great feature in the first camera and I’m glad to see it stick around. [Read more…]
JVC is bringing its Nikon F-mount, 4K concept camera from CES 2012 to market. The JVC JY-HMQ30 looks like it will use the same multi-stream 4K recording that is found in the JVC GY-HMQ10 fixed-lens 4K camcorder, which was officially announced at CES 2012. [Read more…]
JVC has a new action cam to compete with GoPro. It’s the JVC GC-XA1 Adixxion.
It features 1080/30p and 720/60p video capture, a 1.5″ LCD and a 5x zoom. It will also capture 5MP still images and includes built-in Wi-Fi and a wireless smartphone link.
The camera should be available in August for $350. Check availability at B&H Photo.

The JVC GY-HMQ10 is a new 4K camcorder, which captures the full 3840 x 2160 resolution at 24p, 30p and 60p frame rates. Yeah, 60p at 4K…
The HMQ10 features a 1/2.3″ CMOS sensor at a true 8.2MP for pixel-to-pixel rendering of the 4K image. It is equipped with a fixed 10x zoom lens with an f/2.8 minimum aperture (f/4.5 at full tele).

The JVC GC-PX10 is officially slated for release this month in the US. The PX10 is very similar to the PX1 we saw earlier this year at CES 2011.
The GC-PX10 features a 12.75MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor and captures 1080/60p video at a 36Mbps sample rate. The 10x zoom lens covers an equivalent focal range of 43.3-433mm when shooting video and 37.4-374mm when shoots stills. [Read more…]
The JVC GC-PX10 is a follow-up for “select markets around the world” to the (Japan-only) GC-PX1 that was introduced at CES this year as a concept model. Aside from the still image resolution (12MP vs. 10MP), the specifications, body and controls of the new GC-PX10 appear to the same as the GC-PX1. [Read more…]
After seeing the JVC GC-PX1 as a concept model at CES 2011, we were unsure of whether it would actually come to market. According to JVC’s Japanese website, the camera is real and will be available in Japan this month.
All of the previously reported key specs are for real. [Read more…]
