JVC’s Everio X GZ-X900 ($1000) shoots full HD 1080p (1920×1080) video or 9-megapixel still images with a 5x optical zoom. The unit is quite small measuring just 2.6 x 4.88 x 1.46 inches and weighing 0.66lbs
JVC’s new proprietary optical image stabilization (OIS) technology applies camera shake compensation optically using prism technology at the lens entrance to ensure effectiveness throughout the zoom range and allow high quality shooting without a tripod.
World’s First 10.3 Mega CMOS Sensor
At the heart of the camera’s superior image quality is a 1/2.33-inch 10.3 Megapixel CMOS sensor — the world’s first to be used in a Full HD AVCHD camera. The high quality 9 Megapixel digital still photos the camera shoots correlate directly to the un-interpolated performance of this CMOS sensor and Bayer array RGB color filter.
Full HD 1920×1080 Video with 1000 TV Lines of Horizontal Resolution
For the first time ever, this 10.3 Megapixel CMOS sensor is also the source of 1920×1080/60i Full HD AVCHD format video. The camera records at a stunning 1000 TV lines of horizontal resolution — close to the theoretical maximum of 1920×1080 Full HD.
60fps/5.3 Megapixel Motor Drive Shooting
Everio X offers high-speed shooting, similar to the motor drive function found in some mechanical still cameras. Up to eleven 5.3 Megapixel photos can be shot at 60 images per second. And you can also shoot as many as six non-interpolated 9 Megapixel photos at up to 15 images per second, a speed that rivals or surpasses what’s offered by typical 9 Megapixel DSLR cameras. A great way to capture fast-paced action in high quality still photographs.
