Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of JVC Picsio GC-WP10 Waterproof Pocket Video Camera (Blue) NEWEST VERSION
Customer Review: It's a video miracle - but it's an audio disaster.
Summary: 1 Stars
GREAT video, either 1080P 30 FPS, or 720P 60 FPS (the faster frame rate is better for moving subjects). It also has modes for YouTube and Apple that I haven't tried yet - and don't forget it does time lapse sequences as well!
The color touchscreen controls are very intuitive. You won't need the written manual.
I was disappointed by the stereo audio which sounds thin and phasey. (Perhaps I have a bad unit?)
It does a credible job of shooting stills, although they are not as sharp, nor do they have the dynamic range available in most $100 digital still cameras. But the submersible Picsio fits in your pocket and shoots great HD video!
Picsio also will record mp-3 stereo audio, but the audio quality is marginal in my unit. (I am talking myself into exchanging mine to see if the audio should really be better. Good audio should be technically easy to achieve compared to HD video.)
As an all-in-one camera, this waterproof Picsio is perfect - except for the audio deficiency. The softer still shots are acceptable considering everything else this very well-made camera does.
Post script: I have discovered that I cannot return or exchange the unit due to my own ignorance of the Amazon 30 day return policy on electronics. My fault. Now I must send the unit to the JVC factory warranty repair center in Texas. This I will do since I think the audio on my unit is surely not up to specs. More later.
Later post script on 12JAN2011: I sent my Picsio to the JVC Repair Center in McAllen, Texas. About 10 days after sending it, a technician from the JVC Repair Center telephoned me to ask more specifically about the audio problems I had described. Being a retired radio and television broadcast engineer with some 50+ years experience, I described in scientific detail the audio problems my unit exhibited. The technician obligingly said that he would confer with JVC engineers on site and compare my unit to others known to be working properly. The next day the technician called back with the news that "all of them worked the same". He said there was nothing more he could do but to send it back - which he did.
Now I again have this well-made camera with excellent video - and the same very poor audio.
JVC has either screwed up in the design or in the repair of the Picsio.
My advice: Don't buy the JVC Picsio unless you're looking for a video only application. My Picsio is going to be relegated to duty as an overly expensive video-only security camera.
