Here is another option besides the FLIP video I blogged about earlier –   the new JVC Picsio Pocket Camera & HD Video. It’s the latest pocket-sized camcorder to hit the market.

This is perfect for YouTube enthusiasts, bloggers and for the whole family (mommies most especially!)—because this pocket-sized camcorder is idiot-proof! .

Cool features:

• “Menu-less” simple and easy operation
• Direct sending to iTunes/YouTube (.MOV file)
• Image Stabilizer
• 8 Megapixel Still Image Recording
• 1080P/30fps HD Video Recording
• 4x Digital Zoom
• Convenient USB Battery Charging
• HDMI and AV Output Terminal
• SD/SDHC Card Compatible (up to 32 GB)
• 2.0” Color LCD
• The battery should be good for about 70 minutes of recording time
• Compact and cute

*SDHC card and Macintosh software are not provided.
Downside:
No flash.
That’s all.

• Unique among pocket Cams, GC-FM1 offers image stabilization to shoot images with minimal camera-shake.

  The .MOV video files recorded by GC-FM1 require no conversion when uploading to YouTube or importing into iTunes.

  Digital still pictures with 8 Megapixel native resolution deliver excellent results when printed out or viewed on-screen.

The JVC Picsio is available in 3 colors: Black Ice, Blue Steel, and Purple Passion
The SRP is P11,999 and is now available at Mobile 1 Powerplant Mall, Rockwell.

My cousins are the outdoorsy types – they love to go camping and hiking a lot. This coming Thanksgiving, they are going camping in the mountains again. They are actually experts on setting up tents and making sure their backpacks are packed correctly.

They go with mummy sleeping bags because they are lightweight and very warm – they live in the East Coast! Traveling outdoors needs a lot of preparation. They make sure they have complete medicines and wound care for the first aid kit, binoculars, maps and a compass and extra batteries of course.

They have trail running shoes too, specifically for hiking. This is what they use:

North Face Arnuva 50 Endurance Trail Running Shoes

Medial/lateral TPU welding reinforcements for support. Lateral Slidelet™ midfoot expansion system to provide micro-adjustments on ultra mileage runs. Northotic™ ergonomically-designed footbed with Poron® forefoot and heel inserts. Semi-curve lasted, with medial-posted rearfoot Thrust Chassis™ and X-Dome™, which provides mechanical assistance to the midsole and support for overpronators. Tenacious Grip™ outsole provides excellent on-and-off-road traction

If you are one of the people who needs to YouTube everything, you might “need” this Flip Video, very handy and practical – it is like having a digital camera!
