JVC Everio GZ-R310

These Everio models offer water resistance submersed to a depth of 5m and can be placed under running water for easy cleaning after an active day outdoors. They also have the ability to withstand a drop from 1.5m, and offer dust-proofing and freeze-proofing down to -10°C. Amazingly enough, all this durability comes in a camcorder form factor with full-fledged functions such as high-powered 40x optical zoom, advanced image stabilization and large LCD viewscreen. The battery is internal for superior water resistance and, together with its long life, helps to eliminate the risk of damaging the camcorder while exchanging batteries in bad weather. Users are likely to appreciate how they can continue shooting come rain or come shine, with creative flair using special effects onboard the camera, and also edit videos later with third party editing software such as iMovie or Final Cut Pro. Moreover, Everio is compatible with third-party portable batteries (the type used with smartphones for emergency charging). You ca
