    JVC has released details of a new 'hybrid' camera designed to satisfy users' needs for both digital still photography and video recording.

    The GC-PX10 digital memory camera combines the ability to take 12-megapixel stills and Full HD video and also enables users to capture high-quality still shots from video clips. Video is Full HD 1920 x 1080 pixels and, importantly, progressive recording means each frame contains complete visual information, whereas interlaced video has only half the picture in each frame. A fast 36 Mbps sampling rate ensures each frame of video is clear and detailed.
    The GC-PX10 also supports consecutive still shooting at 50 shots/second, as well as high-speed video shooting at 250 frames/second to yield slow motion footage at 1/5 normal speed. Image resolution in this mode is VGA (640 x 360), which is adequate for online use, and recording time can extend to approximately two hours .

    The body of the GC-PX10 is designed to provide stable shooting for both still and moving images, and has an L-shape similar to SLR cameras (but with much less bulk) to encourage two-handed holding. The 6.16 x 4.62mm sensor Back-Illuminated CMOS is supported by JVC's FALCONBRID high-speed imaging engine. Other features include a Konica Minolta HD lens with 19x dynamic zoom and optical image stabilisation, a tiltable 3-inch Touch Panel monitor, ISO sensitivity up to 6400, K2 technology for high quality sound, 32GB internal memory, HDMI output, and bundled LoiLoScope FX software (for Windows).

    The GC-PX10 is scheduled for an October launch in Australia at an RRP of $1099

    Hmmm, well what do you know. I was just wondering what JVC was up to since they have a professional division and used to have some decent camcorders in the past. This seems somewhat interesting. I wonder what kind of sensor it's using.

    (Ok the JVC site kind of sucks, but I did see the sensor is "Super LoLux Back-Illuminated 1/2.3" CMOS Sensor ")

    It does look interesting .. I can't find much about it. Wondering if it does 'live-view' out the HDMI?

    Only 43mm at the wide end, to narrow for a video camera and no EVF :-(
