New-style JVC Everio GZ-X900 tested
Novel design: JVC's Everio GZ-X900
Having adopted AVCHD as its high definition system of choice since Summer 2008, JVC is clearly signalling a move away from the hard disc based products it pioneered in the market in favour of solid-state memory card recording, so there’s little doubt that the X900 is a sign of things to come from the company.
On first impressions, however, it feels good; not only does it sport a rather unique styling but its main black body is made of what can only be likened to a sand-blasted rugged plastic (if such a thing exists) which gives it a high tactile feel that we haven’t seen elsewhere.
On receiving a review sample within hours of it landing on UK soil (literally!), we immediately took it for a spin and in our detailed review we not only discuss the product’s merits and de-merits at length but you’ll also find a couple of useful YouTube video clips to help you decide if this is the one for you.
