CES delights unveiled...beginning with JVC

With CES, the world's biggest consumer electronics show now underway, perhaps the most intriguing early announcement has been the new range of Everio camcorders from JVC.

These devices offer the usual HD goodness now standard in handhelds but also now feature Wi-Fi enabling the device to send out video clips directly and easier transfer of files. An app is also coming for the iPhone and Android devices that will enable sending out files via the phone and the ability to use it as a remote control for the camcorder. The phone app also enables GPS geotagging of videos and photos and live monitoring on the mobile.

This is a very cool development and surely heralds the future of connected photographic devices able to upload and share photos independently of a pc or mac.
