With the obvious new popularity in the small “flip” camcorder it seems everyone is now involved with JVC now entering the market with two new touchscreen laden affairs the WP10 and FM2. It makes sense really. The compact digital camera is getting smaller and phone camersa better the consumers obviously want smaller pocket-size products. Camcorders are certainly a lot smaller than they used to be but don’t fit in your pocket like a flip cam.
Both new JVC models are certainly packing. Both can shoot at a wonderful full 1080p and also have the option to reduce to 720p, iFrame format (960×540 H.264), Quarter HD and even has the option for users to take time-lapse style videos. They also have a decent enough 4x zoom, but all these features can be controlled by the touchscreen situated on the rear of the camera. Both also have HDMI output to hook up to your HDTV and both have SD card storage. Now for each model there’s a subtle difference. The FM2 has a pop-out USB port for easy connectivity whereas the WP10 is actually waterproof to 10feet so you could get a couple of snorkelling vids on your holidays or shots in the rain in this country.
Both due sometime this month ther’s no definite prices yet but it’s rumoured around £120 for the FM2 and £180 for the WP10.
