Picsio HD Cam

The Picsio GC-FM1 HD camcorder is JVC’s first pocket flash memory camera.  PICSIO GC-FM1 is designed for people who want a small and simple camera that allows them easy sharing and delivers high quality video and still images.

PICSIO features eight-megapixel stills and 1080p Full HD with some fancy features such as image stabilization that minimizes camera shake even when the 4X digital zoom is used. Picsio GC-FM1 is about the size of a small cell phone, and is available in Black Ice, Blue Steel and Purple Passion colors. , You can view your videos and photos on a two-inch LCD screen.

Design wise is also very appealing as it comes with a case that features a tone-on-tone geometric pattern and chrome accents for a jewel-like appearance.

Videos are recorded in the widely-used MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format and stored as .MOV files. All photos and videos are stored on SD/SDHC memory cards.
