JVC Picsio Camcorder is like a Iphone or Ipod
Is it an iPhone or an iPod? That’s what would comes to your mind when you first look at the latest Pocket Camcorder by JVC-Picsio GC-FM1A Camcorder. The camcorder definitely looks more different from other Pocket camcorders available in the market. They come in purple, blue and black. However the list price 200 USD is somewhat higher compared to other popular brands. Again another Pocket camcorder equipped with direct Youtube upload and iTune import. Compare with other Pocket camcorders before you buy and check reviews.

Nice Video camera in a small Package

Review Date: August 20, 2010

Reviewer: Jose Nieto, North Carolina

The video quality in this camera is good, I like the compactness and ease of use as well. the capability to take pictures is almost an afterthought, you need absolutely perfect lighting or you'll end up with a barely discernible photo. There are not many options are setting to tweak so this should only be bought by someone that wants to point and shoot video.

Love this Camera

Reviewer: L. Tate, Tacoma, WA

I love the size of this camera and that it fits well into my hand. I know it's not the highest quality video that I could get, but really for the money, I get to record all of my toddler's good times. The color is a fun bonus too :)

Decent, but could use some tuning up.

Reviewer: HostileHST, Oregon, USA

Battery life is horrible, less than an hour when using it in 720p mode. 1080p mode is very grainy, but I expected that. Focus, well, sure wish they had a manual one cause it could be adjusted a tiny bit and be pretty decent. Macro is great, but man, you have to hold real steady to keep it in focus. All in all, we still like the cam despite it's short comings.

Nice Camera only missing interchangable batteries.

I like this camera. The video quality is nice at 720 at 60 frames per second. It's super compact and easy to carry. Forget using the digital zoom it just degrades the image quality. The buttons work fine as you get used to them. The negatives include 1.Not so good in low light but all these
super compacts suffer from that and you can't expect to shoot in no light and get a good video with any camera. 2.Sometimes impossible to see the screen in daylight. 3.The digital Zoom it needs a optical one. 4.No interchangable battery and this is why I gave it a 4 instead of a 5. I could live with all the other negatives but not including a interchangable battery is a no no. The included battery charges quickly but I just don't know how long it will last before the camera needs to be replaced. We will see. For what it is, kind of a toy it does a good job of producing
quality video. Yes it could be better but for what I paid $79.99 I can live with it's shortcoming's.

Very satisfied with Camera/Camcorder

I bought a few low end camcorders in the past, the kind that takes 3 AAA batteries and they drin so fast. I saw this and it seemed to be nicely built and a mid class unit. I like it has HDMI out as well as AV out to watch on tv. Ofcourse it has your usual SD card slot.
Easy to get used to and figure out. Takes good pics, a tad on shaky side so youi have to hold the cam tight when snapping a pic. The Camcorder is better. I threw in a 2 GB SD card. on 1080 it only gives me 30 mins to record, but on VGA mode I get almost 2 hours, very good qaulity even at that setting. There is a lower setting QVGA which I have 5 1/2 hours of video record time. I think I'll buy a 4 or 8 GB card (it will take up to 32 GB).
Very please with the unit. Small and flat, easy to carry around. Not much bigger than a cell phone really. If you want a decent camcorder for under $100...i'd day go with this one.
