Valued at roughly $800, the latest Everio GZ-HM550BUS is a dual memory Full High Definition (HD) camcorder complete with Bluetooth compatibility. Videos are recorded at 10.6 megapixels (MP) quality while still digital photographs are snapped at a resolution of 9.3 MP.
As part of our Matador Twitter contests, we’re spotlighting cool gear to give away to lucky readers.
Its Bluetooth compatibility allows you to use the following devices as a remote control for the camcorder, as well as use headsets as an audio recorder:
RIM
- BlackBerry Bold 9000
- BlackBerry Curve 8900
- BlackBerry Curve 8310
HTC

You can geo-tag videos and photographs by using the camcorder with a GPS device to record location data. According to JVC, “…the data synchronizes with Google Earth™ when viewing the file on a PC using the bundled Everio MediaBrowser software.”
Its dual memory offering comes with a 32GB internal storage as well as external SD memory card support.
More on the GZ-HM550:
- Super LoLux improves low-light sensitivity to capture clear images with precise colors even in low-light environments.

- 10.62 megapixel Back-illuminated CMOS sensor enables shooting of 1920 x 1080 Full HD videos and real nine megapixel digital stills.
