JVC announced their Everio X GZ-X900 camcorder at PMA 2009 today, and SlashGear’s Daniel Lim was on hand to get some hands-on time with the 1080p mini-marvel. After the cut, a video overview and tour of the new high-def JVC flagship, plus sample video Daniel shot at PMA.
Among the Everio X’s numerous talents are full 1080p recording at 1,000 lines of horizontal resolution – close to the theoretical maximum of 1920 x 1080 Full HD – together with the ability to shoot 5.2-megapixel images while it’s simultaneously recording video. Alone, it’s capable of 9-megapixel images, together with 120fps, 300fps and 600fps slow-motion video recording.
The JVC Everio X will be available in June 2009, priced at $999.95. We’re hoping to get one into review very soon, so we’ll be able to tell you whether it’s worth it.

Well I had one of these on pre order and my local shop just called up and told me it had arrived. I must say i’m very impressed with this camera, the high speed still photo shooting is awesome, i’m also loving the slow motion. The camera it self feels very solid, the guy at the store said it was one of the most solid camera on the market, I trust his judgment as he works with them every day!
I thought it was going to be a bit akward to hold without the traditional hand strap, but i’ve found usiong the camera with the wrsit strap has been very comforatable and straight forward, so no issues there.
Low light performance seems to be very good at first glance, I took it out last night and got some greate shots, the colours are fantastic and i’ve only been in auto so far! Looking forward to diving in to the manual controls a bit later on. I also found a cool feature which is called ‘face detection self timer’ So it only starts the self timer when it detects the photographers face in the frame, pretty cool feature for group photo’s.
Overall, i’m verfy impressed so far, it’s the perfect compact size for me and yet still very high quality – both image & build – a big two thumbs up!
