JVC has announced a new camera, called the GC-PX10 and it’s a pretty interesting one. While most cameras are designed to shoot video, with the added ability to shoot photos or are designed to shoot photos, with the added ability to shoot video, the GC-PX10 aims to do both equally well.
On the photo side, the camera can shoot 12 megapixel stills, up to 6400 ISO. It can also rapid fire photos at 50 frames per second. That gives you 130 photos in about 2.6 seconds.
On the video side, it shoots 1080p video using H.264 with a bitrate of up to 36mbps. In plain terms, that means it shoots progressive HD video at a quality well above AVCHD cameras and actually closer to pro cameras. It can also shoot silky smooth slow-motion video too, at 250 fps.
The camera also features an articulating viewfinder, 10x optical/19x dynamic Konica/Minolta lens, built-in flash, microphone input and 32GB of internal memory (while also accepting SDHC memory cards for additional storage).
Sadly, there is no price or release date set yet. But to get the full specs of the camera, click here.
