A video camera for anyone exhibiting on YouTube

Tag : Digital PC Camera


Someday all movies will be on the Internet and, if current trends persist, will last only 10 minutes. Budding auteurs can prepare for this future with the JVC Everio GZ-MS100.

The GZ-MS100 records video to an SD card (not included) and has a special upload button that cuts off the video at the 10-minute mark to conform to YouTube's rules, and then automatically uploads it to YouTube when the camera is connected to a PC. It has a 35x optical zoom lens and a 2.7-inch screen with a touch-sensitive scroll pad on the side for selecting options and scrolling through video.

The camera soon will be available at most major electronics stores for $350.

Its battery lasts for about two hours on one charge, but that may be too long for most filmmakers of the future, when attention spans shrink to just a few minutes.
