Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The new Everio X from JVC is designed to maximise every precious moment with Full HD 1920x1080 video and a true 9 megapixel digital still image stored onto one SD/SDHC card. Creative shooting functions such as ultra-slow motion video and high-speed still photography will help you get that perfect shot. And all this - in a single pocket-sized camcorder. The GZ-X900 uses a newly developed OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) system that means steady shooting throughout the zoom range. This new camcorder is ideal for once-in-a-lifetime shots with high speed modes: shoot rapid-fire stills and ultra-slow motion video to take a closer look at the action. In addition the GZ-X900 allows users to shoot Full HD 1920x1080 video and then take a 5.3 megapixel still at the same time - a truly unique advantage. Ideal control with laser touch operation means not only the screen is kept clean, but zooming and recording can be all operated with one hand from the 2.8" LCD screen. JVC makes it even easier to share your memories with this camcorder, using either one-touch iTunes export, YouTube upload or DVD burning, or if preferred using our brand new MediaBrowser software included, ideal for archiving, editing and viewing back your experiences.

The quality of the HD video is fantastic and it fits in a pocket (just!) the Sound quality is great and the video colours,picture clarity is really good. There was an annoying tune every time I booted up until I found out how to switch it to silent! You can take pictures with it but they aren't great quality and although you can take them whilst filming as an added feature the actual pictures themselves are often blurred or colours a bit washed out. But as a video recorder it is a great buy. Don't know why JVC have pulled it, came out very well on the Which? report. At the price it was originally on for (about £900) it wasn't good value but now the price has dropped so much it is a bargain for what you get. Could have done with a bigger optical zoom but I guess that would have increased the size of the camera, there is always going to be a compromise on that front. Also allows you to shoot in slow motion, this is quite memory hungry but good fun addition. Overall I would highly recommend it as a compact great quality video camera. I could not give it the full 5 stars because of the limited zoom and the still picture quality.

The quality from this camcorder is amazing. The sharpness and detail which it packs into the video are breath taking. The video format is 24mb/sec AVCHD, the top quality available for this format (except the newly released 28Mb/sec AVCHD2) and it shows. Having said that it does have a lot of quirks. I can understand why, while only being a 3 year old model, it's price has plummeted to about a third of the original cost. It's very very small, which means it's extremely portable but equally hard to hold steady while filming, also due to it's rectangular boxy shape. The poor stabilizer, despite being the upmarket optical type, dosen't offer significant help. And the controls are extremely hard to operate. In auto mode it tends to over expose in bright light, and is extremely poor in low light, both problems stem from the limited aperture range. The X900 does have a comprehensive set of manual controls. Every aspect can be controlled; aperture, shutter, focus, gain and more can all be manually set. But the long winded menus, the touch buttons and 'laser' strip make this an excurciatingly slow and fiddly process. Still, hats off to the manufacturer for allowing these settings to be set individually, as this option is not always present, even on expensive camcorders, Sony being a notable example.
If you do have small steady hands which can hold this camcorder well, and manage to keep it from over exposing (by not filming directly in bright light) it will shoot some of the best quality video you've ever seen. Again, it's small size makes it extremely portable, and the video it produces is head and shoulders above point and shoot cameras, smartphones and other camcorders in its price range. If you can live with its faults, and want a small camcorder the GZ-X900 offers amazing value for money. But if you value useability, ease of use, an auto mode which produces the best video regardless of conditions and amazing stabilization then go for a top-end Sony camcorder, such as the CX700 or CX560. They're expensive but worth every penny! Having bought the GZ-X900, tempted by the low price, I have relegated it to a second camera, filming unattended on a tripod at a wide angle, while I shoot close-ups and details with my Sony XR520. At this price, I certainly do not regret my purchase, even though for me it is unuseable as an everyday camcorder.
