JVC has taken the wraps off a pair of new rugged camcorder product lines, the JVC GZ-R550 and the GZ-R440. The two lineups bring with them a total of three camcorder models, the GZ-R440B, GZ-R440D, and the GZ-R550B. These camcorders are designed for outdoor environments, ones where there's a good chance of rain or bodies of water, wild temperatures, and accidental drops.
JVC is known for its inexpensive audio products, ones that have surprisingly decent audio quality for their price. Perhaps most popular among the company's headphones offerings is its Marshmallow series, a product line mostly composed of earbuds. If your old Marshmallows are wearing out and you're in the market for a new pair, JVC has several options to choose from, having recently taken the wraps off its new Marshmallow HA-FX39BT, HA-ET50BT, HA-EC30BT, HA-S190BN, and HA-S90BN wireless models.
Taking a camcorder into the woods or to the beach can spell disaster. Normal camcorders will die a premature death if they get wet or if you drop them. JVC has rolled out a pair of new camcorders called the GZ-R450 and the GZ-R320. The two products share some of the same features including water resistance, drop resistance, and the ability to survive cold weather.
As far as smartphone cameras have come, to get real, professional quality video, it's best to turn to the real thing. If you're going to be out in the elements, your video camera best be suited to brave the weather, otherwise your camera could end up becoming a fancy paperweight. The latest camcorders to join the weather-proof JVC Everio collection are the GZ-R450 and the GZ-R320. Both are waterproof up to 16.4 feet under water and withstand damage from freezing at temperatures as low as 14 degrees farenheit. The camcorders are also dust-proof and are designed to withstand being dropped from almost five feet off the ground.
When one hears of cameras, especially digital ones, we usually think of a single slab or contraption that we can take along with us for a ride. The new JVC GW-SP100E 4KCAM, however, is anything but portable. Or rather it is, at least in some ways. Instead of a single camera body, this is actually a full system, composed of a remote camera head, its own separate recording and playback unit, and a remote control to, well, control it all from a safe distance.
JVC's biggest 4K-resolution TV has been unveiled, and with it comes a big claim: the most precise color reproduction available. Whether that is true is yet to be see, as the television won't be launching until some time in January. When it does arrive, however, it'll do so with a price tag notably lower than other massive 85-inch models on the market at $7,999 USD. The television is JVC's new Diamond Series DM85UXR model, and with it comes more than a few notable features.
JVC, which recently introduced a couple new rugged cameras during CES, has detailed its 4K efforts, dropping details on a handful of prototype cameras boasting Ultra HD recording. Included among them are a couple of UAVs -- unmanned aerial vehicles, more commonly called drones -- equipped with small 4K cameras.
JVC has introduced two new camcorders designed to handle atypical conditions, doing so with what the company calls a quad-proof body: dust-proof, freeze-proof, water resistant, and drop resistant. Combining them all together, the GZ-R70 and GZ-R10 can handle being taken into the harsh outdoors or to other locations where delicate hardware hesitates to tread.
The folks at JVC have revealed an imposingly simple looking line of televisions this week intent on making the world understand that they're clear on consumer wishes for an absolute lack of bezel. The hero in this line is an LED-LCD TV with a 47-inch display ringing in at 1080p with Edge-lit technology. This machine is also internet ready with streaming services aplenty.
JVC is getting in on the sports camera action, joining GoPro and Contour with the JVC GC-XA2 ADIXXION, a ridiculously named, ruggedized Full HD camera intended for extreme sports. The chunky little shooter can film at up to 1080 60p/50p - or 720p at up to 120fps for slow-motion use - and packs WiFi and and an integrated LCD display.
JVC's Procision GC-PX100 camcorder got somewhat lost in the CES rush back in January, but the company hopes its slow-motion loving pro-shooter will get more attention now that it's shipping. Packing a 12.8-megapixel sensor capable of 1080/60p video at 36Mbps, the GC-PX100 can capture Full HD footage at between 120fps and 600fps for silky-smooth slowed down sports or action shots, in addition to pulling nine frames of stills from video.
JVC isn't a huge name in the headphones market -- they're best known for their camcorders -- but they've been making headphones for quite awhile now too. The company just launched five new pairs of headphones that will be added on to the company's current line of Xtreme Xplosives headphones, which feature over-the-ear and in-ear models.
