Description — JVC GZ-R70
The JVC Everio GZ-R70 is a compact Full HD camcorder designed with outdoor use in mind. Its weather-sealed body — built from plastic with rubberized sealing — is engineered to handle conditions where typical camcorders would struggle. Weighing just 281g and measuring 60.0 x 59.5 x 122.0 mm, it's easy to carry on any adventure.
Video is captured at up to 1920x1080 Full HD at 60fps or 30fps, with 8-bit color depth. The FALCONBRID image processor handles the workload, while the sensor provides 2.5 MP effective resolution for video and up to 10 MP interpolated resolution for still photos. The 3.0-inch LCD touchscreen makes a practical primary monitor for framing shots.
Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, SDXC cards or internal storage, and the Mini HDMI output allows connection to external displays. The built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery is rated for up to 4.5 hours of continuous recording, making the GZ-R70 a capable companion for extended shoots away from a power source.
