JVC GC-PX10 Hybrid Camera and Camcorder

JVC unleashes its new camcorder that also works as a camera, or a camera that also works as a camcorder. We are just as confused.

Anyway, the JVC GC-PX10 features a long-barreled lens attached to a slender body. It can shoot video at up to 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second and capture photos at 8.3 megapixels even while in video mode.

Users can switch into still-shooting mode, which enables the device to capture 12-megapixel pictures at 30 frames per second for two seconds. For video enthusiasts who are into slow motion, the JVC GC-PX10 can record video in 640 x 360 resolution at 300 frames per second for up to two hours. These image and video files can be saved to the SDXC card or in the device’s 32GB internal memory.

The JVC GC-PX10 will be shipped beginning later in October, with an asking price of $900.

Vintage NASA-Owned Cameras Up For Auction

You may not know Arthur Keir, but if you love retro technology, you better be. His estate has put up his precious collection of NASA-owned cameras for auction, like the Nikon F Photomic T (1965) you see on the picture.


Keir has a collection of NASA paraphenalia that spans for decades and it is sad that he would have to sell them off because of seems like a liquidation. But hey, at least he would make another maniacal collector happy. Other cameras that are being auctioned include Nikon F’s successor the Nikon F2 (1978) and a bulky Canon L2 video camera that joined the Space Shuttle Columbia on an out-of-Earth mission in 1998.

Not into photography? The auction also offers NASA-related stuff ranging from a glove bladder to thermal slippers, both of which were meant for extra-vehicular activity. Note that the prices of these cameras are on the steep side. The lowest-priced camera is currently at $300 as of this posting. You can check out the rest of the collection being auctioned here.
