10 years ago it was impossible to imagine that there would be a camcorder made specifically for a website, but nowadays, the video sharing giant YouTube is so popular, that the JVC GZ-MS100 doesn’t come as a surprise.

The recently presented camcorder is part of the Everio S Series made by JVC, and thanks to the use of a memory card instead of a hard-drive, the final product is small and light – 270 grams.

To make it YouTubish there is a YouTube sticker placed on the camera, and an upload button that sends the video directly to the internet, that is, after being connected to a PC.

On the technical section, the GZ-MS100 features a 2.7-inch LCD non-touchscreen, Auto Backlight Control, USB connection, 35x optical zoom, and lastly, a few different shooting modes, such as sports and night.

For the people that like to go underwater to take photos, there is a new digital camera from SeaLife. It is named ECOshot, and besides being waterproof (at least up to 23 meters) it also has the shock-proof characteristics, with a limit of 2 meters.

The ECOshot only needs 2 AA batteries in order to work, which is good, but on the other hand the internal memory only has 14MB of capacity. In case you want to increase the memory, which I bet you do, the limit is 1GB while using a SD card.

The actual shooting component uses a six-megapixel CCD sensor, and supports SeaLife’s custom flash systems for better underwater lighting.

It costs $230, check more details (6.0MP sensor, 2-inch LCD display,etc) at SeaLife.

Sanyo Xacti DMX-HD1 Announced

Jacob — Wed, 11 Jan 2006 08:46:32 +0000

Sanyo just announced their Sanyo Xacti DMX-HD1 Digital mini video camera (try saying that 3 times fast) at the Sanyo press conference at the Ebisu Garden Palace in Tokyo, and the dudes from Akihabara News was there. Here’s a few snips from the Akihabara report:

The HD1 has roughly the same dimensions as the C6, but the lense is a bit bigger (f=6.3-63mm, which gives in 35mm 38-380mm), the flash light is stuck to the top and it has a 5.1MP resolution. It supports SD cards up to 2GB.

When it comes to HD, this Xacti records in 720p with a resolution of 1280×720 and at 30fps and 9mbps. To give you an idea what you can record on a 2GB SD, in the best setting (HD-SHQ) you can record 28 minutes and 45 seconds, so on a 256MB card you can record 3 minutes and 36 seconds of footage.

The device measures 80×119x36mm and weighs 235g fully loaded (Sd and battery).

And guess what, the dudes have live video samples shot with the Sanyo Xacti DMX-HD1 on their site, and they’re amazing quality for a camera so tiny. Anyway, if you want to pich up a couple, the Sanyo Xacti DMX-HD1 should be available in February for about 900 Euros ($1,085 USD). (No word on NA availability yet)
