Abstract: The X900 is a top-of-the-market fun camera for amateurs, with entertaining features such as slow-motion shooting and high-speed “motor drive”-style stills. You'd struggle to shoot a TV documentary on it, but for great family films and photos that look goo...
The JVC Everio x GZ-X900 delivers subpar overall performance, and it is definitely a poor option if you plan to shoot in less-than-optimal lighting conditions. Jim Feeley Lowest online price: N/A ...
Plenty of gadgets take photos as well as shoot video. The iPhone 3G S, for instance, is fairly rubbish at both. The X900, on the other hand, is as happy streaming high bit-rate (24Mbps) Full HD video to an SD card as it is capturing pin-sharp nine-megapix...
The 5x zoom is barely enough to make your next door neighbour’s windows, let alone sneak glimpses of their saucy German exchange student – and the 200x digital zoom is certainly no substitute. On the plus side, the Laser Touch interface lets y...

The JVC Everio GZ-X900 is a slim, light and handsome camcorder that doubles up as a very decent camera. At the top settings, video and still-image quality are both good, but, while the slow-motion modes and unique optical image stabiliser are interest...
Abstract: JVCs GZ-X900 represents a considerable departure from the smooth, rounded looks of the Everio hard disk and solid-state camcorders that have helped to revolutionise home video in the past few years. The customary curves and glossy body finish have bee...
As with pretty much every camcorder released so far in 2009, our pronouncement on the Everio GZ-X900 falls back to price. If it had been pitched at £700 or less, this would be an absolutely storming buy. But at more like £900, the X900 costs more than las...
