JVC has announced their latest camcorder, the new Everio GZ-HM340, a little late, priced at $499.95 . It was originally expected to arrive in late January. The new camcorder packs 16Gb of onboard storage, and as if that were not enough, you can expand it with an SD/SDHC card. More details follow.
The JVC XS-SR3 is a stylish-looking iPod dock that offers you the functionality to rotate the iPod by 90 degrees, allowing you to use it as a small screen. The dock also features Dolby Virtual Surround, and it can be used as a speaker system for anything with a 3.5mm jack – so it’s a great addition to any home entertainment system that needs a bit of portability.
Just one week ago JVC introduced the three new Everio models, after showing nothing for about half a year. Today, they revealed the Everio GZ-HD620, and it’s currently the smallest and lightest HDD camcoder in the entire world. The camera weighs only 270g, and uses a 120 GB hard drive. It can record 1080p videos, using a 1/4.1″ 3.32 megapixel CMOS sensor.
This will be the first time that JVC releases a Blue Ray home theater in a box system – an integrated sound bar speaker system, wireless subwoofer and Blu-ray player, on US soil and on the face of it, sounds fairly decent.
JCV TH-SB100 is a 3.1 channel system with Dolby Digital and DTS decoding and six-mode digital signal processing. The entire system looks compact and ergonomic with very sleek candy bar styled sound bar that outputs some 30 watts. At the same time, the left and right channels along with the 100 watt 3-inch subwoofer provide for ample audio output making it a great solution to keep your neighbors up for as long as you like.
For $699.95, the entire system is obviously aimed at someone who is willing to go the extra yard to get all those additional add-ons. Set for early release this summer, one will have to wait and watch on how successful JVC will get with their TH-SB100.
