The GC-QX5HD is the newest, state-of-the-art, digital still camera from JVC. The 3.34 Mega Pixel CCD allows for high quality pictures at resolutions up to 2032 X 1536.
1080i HDTV Compatible Output, the GC-QX5HD can output a 1080 scanning line interlaced image- the same signal used by HDTV. Get ready for the "new rules" of television, with a high definition image and output that are ready for the task.
Pro-Still Technology offers several modes that improve picture even further when photographing stationary subjects.
The 6 Mega Pro-Still mode uses advanced pixel shifting to create an even higher resolution image equivalent to over 6 mega pixels. NR Pro-Still can be used to dramatically reduce picture noise by up to 9db.
The GC-QX5HD comes with a Film Copy Attachment that lets you shoot your old film negatives in 6Mega Pro-Still mode and make digital stills from them. This convenient feature makes digitizing your films quick and easy.
DR Pro-Still allows digital stills that approach the same wide latitude of conventional film by creating separate exposures for highlight & shadow areas. Then these separate exposures are combined. This, in effect, triples the cameras dynamic range.
The GC-QX5HD offers maximum creativity & convenience with collage modes, video e-mail capability, auto flash and a 200,000 pixel 2" TFT View Screen..
This JVC digital still camera is easy to connect via USB terminal, and both Windows & Apple drivers are provided. A special high speed connection is also offered for the matching JVC GV-SP2 printer.

Review

THE GOOD:
NONE! There has been nothing good or positive about this camera or dealing with JVC.
THE BAD:
Awful product, horrific service.
SUMMARY:
This camera has been a lemon since day one. This situation was worsened by deception, misleading lies, incompetent support personnel and a total lack of customer service.
No one knows the product. Unkept promises about follow up are made, and one lies while the other swears to it.
