JVC has launched its powerful camcorder—with the new Quad Proof Everio GZ-R450 and GZ-R320—that boasts improved battery life and performance while still being drop-, dust-, water-, and freeze-proof.
Both the GZ-R450 and GZ-R320 appear as the kind of camcorder you’d usually shelter from the rain instead of go swimming with: they feature JVC’s Quad-Proof structure, which means they are waterproof to a depth of 5 m (16.4 ft), will stand up to a drop from 1.5 m (4.9 ft), are freeze proof all the way to -10°C (14°F), and dust-proof.

The camcorders both measure 60 x 59.5 x 122 mm and have a foldout 3-inch touchscreen. A Konica Minolta 40x optical zoom lens offers 40.5mm to 1620mm equivalent focal lengths and is paired with a 1/5.8inch 2.5MP back-illuminated CMOS image sensor and a FALCONBRID image process engine, that is that the same processor used in JVC 4K professional cameras.
While both cameras are capable of Full HD video, the GZ-R450 distinguishes itself with 1920×1080/60p AVCHD progressive video recording. The upper finish model additionally has a built-in auto “Illumi-Light” and 32GB of internal memory (though both cameras even have a SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot). Additionally, it encompasses a new Close-up Sub-Window perform that at the same time records a wider shot and a close-up, displayed during a sub-window on the touchscreen.
Both cameras use an internal battery for superior water resistance, that offer 5 hours of use, and may be used with a transportable battery and USB charging. they’re additionally capable of shooting 10Mp stills and time lapse videos and have an excellent digital image stabilizer for effective camera-shake compensation.
You can get your new tough camcorders from late July, priced at US$400 for the GZ-R320 that comes in black or orange, and US$500 for the black-only GZ-R450.
