JVC Picsio – The Actual Flip Killer

The JVC Picsio is the latest pocket camcorder to enter the market and has out-shined the competition by a mile. Not only does it surpass the features of the popular Flip camcorder, but the quality far surpasses the Flip as well. With the holiday season coming up, the JVC Picsio is sure to be a hot seller.

Size

The JVC Picsio is about the size the Flip, which means it is the size your average touchscreen cell phone. Pretty tiny as far as camcorders are concerned. These bankruptcies are not called pocket camcorders for pointless. The Picsio can certainly easily fit in your front or rear pocket. Ideal for taking to a child’s soccer or baseball game, or just for fooling around with friends. The ease of use causes it to be a great accessory to take along with you everywhere.

Quality

As far as pocket camcorders are worried, the Picsio is the first pocket camcorder to offer 1080p HD quality video recording. It has the option to alter the caliber of video you shoot so as to take less space about the memory stick. As well as the highest quality available on a pocket camcorder, 1080p was unheard-of so far.

So far as still pictures, the Picsio offers 8 MegaPixel digital image quality, ensuring that any pictures you are taking is going to be of a high quality and won’t be outdated in a few years. Even some standalone digital cameras still do not offer 8 MegaPixel image quality. The photos are incredibly clear and detailed too. You’d be challenged to tell the main difference between photos taken using the Picsio along with a standalone camera.

Outputs

The JVC Picsio GC-FM1 offers both USB and mini HDMI outputs, which means your video but still images can be output either to your PC or your HD television for viewing. Video is recorded in .MOV format, meaning it may be directly uploaded to your favorite video sharing site like YouTube. The .MOV format also result in the video clips so they can be ported over to an iPhone or video iPod.
