JVC GC-PX10 Review
07.02.12
Reconsideration: The innovative JVC GC-PX10 aims to serve as a true hybrid between a still camera and camcorder, but rotten low-light quality and a number of other factors make it laborious to justify the $799 price tag.
JVC claims this isn’t a camcorder that takes stills,nor is it a video-shooting camera—it’s a cross-breed that does both. Although it doesn’t have the sexiest name in the world, this odd-looking stoop has the potential to be the ultimate two-in-one device we’ve been searching for. Let’s dig in and find out.
Features and intent plot
This is a wild-looking one. It’s unlike any camcorder on the market, but looks very compare favourably with to a Sony NEX interchangeable lens camera with a zoom lens devoted to. In fact, some old-timers might flash back to the Sony F505, a digicam from all the way back in 2000 that had asimilar barrel-type zoom. To show far how things have stumble upon, that camera was a whole 3 megapixels and took MPEG videos; the new GC-PX10 shoots 12-megapixel stills and captures 1080/60p movies. These specs were only the bull of dreams back in the day. The new NEX-5N ($699 with a 3x 18-55mm lens) has a 16-megapixel, DSLR-sized sensor and takes 1080/60p movies, so they’re thoughtful of similar. JVC has a leg up with its built-in 10x zoom but on the down side has a much smaller imaging strategy, similar to those found in point-and-shoots. How this impacts quality, we’ll detect shortly.
