GE's waterproof mini camcorder makes a splash
JANUARY 2011 | COMMENT ON THIS
Making a summertime splash, GE's latest sharpshooter is a waterproof and shockproof mini camcorder.
The tough GE DV1 can be plunged to depths of five metres and withstand bumps from 1.5 metres. No larger than a mobile phone, it is perfectly suited for the outdoors and action-packed lifestyles. Whether riding waves or snowy slopes, dipping into a pool party or crowd surfing at a festival, the GE DV1 mini camcorder soaks up its surroundings, shooting video in full 1080p HD or capturing 5 megapixel stills.
Priced at just $199, the DV1 is available in a range of vibrant colours including green, orange, blue, red and grey. A 2.5 inch LCD display, SD card slot, Lithium-ion battery and HDMI-out can be found on board, plus the pocket-sized DV1 utilises an integrated USB connector enabling content to be effortlessly uploaded and shared on YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr or other social networking websites.
The point-and-shoot device also features a 4x digital zoom, optical image stabilisation technology, underwater colour mode, automatic face detection and red eye removal.
According to Tasco's Stewart Pickersgill, General Manager – Digital Camera Sales Division, the exploding popularity of online video content coincides with camcorders becoming smaller and easier to use.
"Australians have developed a huge appetite for online video content, with the average internet user watching more than seven hours of video per month .
"With mini camcorders like GE's DV1, absolutely anyone can become a video producer. Not only is it a cinch to shoot with, with the built-in USB connector multimedia content can be easily uploaded to YouTube or facebook."
GE DV1 - RRP: $199
Waterproof (5 metres)
Shockproof (1.5 metres)
Full HD video (1080p 30 FPS)
5 megapixel photos
4x digital zoom lens
Retractable USB connector
Built-in lithium-ion battery
