JVC Intros YouTube Camcorder; No Flip-Killer
May 19th, 2008 | By James Lewin | Category: Internet TV, Video
JVC has introduced it’s take on the “YouTube camcorder” - the JVC GZ-MS100:
The JVC GZ-MS100 connects directly to your computer, via USB. Clicking the camera’s built-in Upload button will send videos directly to YouTube. The JVC GZ-MS100 features a 2.7-inch LCD, 35x optical zoom, auto backlight control, Cyberlink software, and a battery that should give you two hours of recording time on a charge. Also, interestingly enough, the camcorder will only recorder videos up to 10 minutes, matching YouTube’s upload limits.
Making camcorders Internet-friendly is going to be a huge trend; the YouTube-ready Pure Digital Flip camcorder came from nowhere to rapidly capture 17 percent of the digital camcorder market.
With a name like “JVC GZ-MS100″ and a price of $349.99, the new camcorder doesn’t look like a Flip-killer.
I’d like to see camcorder makers work on simplifying video publishing to Wordpress and Movable Type blogs, too. While YouTube has huge numbers, there are a millions of bloggers that aren’t publishing videos because it’s still too complicated.
