With no end to this practice in sight, it is probably best that buyers plan on an add-on headphone purchase for something a little more comfortable. Fortunately, JVC is doing its part to make this a budget-friendly proposition and is now… Read More

Sony may have looked like the lone home theater pioneer forging ahead with 4K when it introduced the VW1000ES on Wednesday at CEDIA, but it looks like it will have company on the bleeding edge.

If you're an amateur filmmaker, but plain old 2D just ain't doing the trick anymore, you might want to check out JVC's new full HD 3D camcorder. We got a chance to check it out at JVC's booth at CES and it was pretty impressive. To create full 3D images, the camera mimics the human eyes to some degree, using two full HD camera lenses to record slightly differing images of the same object simultaneously.

If there is one common theme for this year’s 2011, it is the advancement of 3D technology, and JVC is determined to not be left behind in what is fast becoming the next step for all visual technology– like it or not.

Oh, how oblivious you must have been to hobble through life without Bluetooth on your camcorder. Never controlling it remotely, wirelessly monitoring audio, or geotagging videos. Finally seeing the light? JVC has the camcorder for you. On Friday, JVC unwrapped the Bluetooth-enabled GZ-HM550. As we hinted at above, the venerable wireless standard will give the camcorder a number of potentially superfluous – or useful – features. Perhaps most… Read More

Although some of their new products are a little pricey, with JVC's performance standards and all the extra features thrown into these… Read More

JVC has taken the wraps off no fewer than ten new Everio camcorders at this year's Consumer Electronic Show, ranging from inexpensive consumer-oriented models to feature-laden high-end, high-resolution shooters.
