JVC has announced the release of a dual-use hybrid camera in the JVC Everio GZ-X900 Hybrid camcorder which shoots high definition video and high resolution digital still images.

The new hybrid Everio GZ-X900, or Everio X, is a small, light, all-in-one camera that offers the powerful shooting combination of Full HD video and nine-megapixel still photos, plus creative shooting functions such as slow motion video and high speed “motor drive” still photography.

Features:

• The camera is small enough to slip into a shirt pocket and at just 0.66 pounds is one of the lightest cameras that can shoot 1920 x 1080 Full HD AVCHD video;
• Shoots nine-megapixel (no interpolation) digital stills and Full HD video with 1000 TV lines of horizontal resolution – close to the theoretical maximum horizontal resolution for 1920 x 1080 high definition video for no-compromise images;
• 10x slow motion shooting plays back four seconds of recorded video over 24 seconds;
• Up to six nine-megapixel stills can be shot at 15 images per second – faster than what digital SLRs can achieve;
• Simultaneous five-megapixel digital still shooting while recording Full HD video – photos can be shot at shutter speeds as fast as 1/4000 second without interrupting video recording;
• Records video and stills to SDHC memory cards.

The Everio GZ-X900 will be available in June at a nationally advertised value of $999.95.
