PRODUCT ANATOMY JVC GY-HM650
JVC’s latest newsgathering camera comes with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, which the manufacturer says will allow news teams to deliver footage without the need for a microwave or satellite connection. The camcorder is also equipped with dual
codecs and produces full HD fi les on one memory card, while another simultaneously captures smaller ‘web-friendly’ fi les. Including the battery, the camera weighs 2.45kg. The GY-HM650 will be available by the end of the year for £3,652 ($5,695). In
addition to the GY-HM650, JVC also launched the GY-HM600, a device with similar features to the GY-HM650 but without the Wi-Fi connectivity. The GY-HM600 will ship in the third quarter of the year.
