Built-in Bluetooth technology gives JVC's GZ-HM550 a number of interesting perks, including the ability to control it wirelessly via smartphone.

Oh, how oblivious you must have been to hobble through life without Bluetooth on your camcorder. Never controlling it remotely, wirelessly monitoring audio, or geotagging videos. Finally seeing the light? JVC has the camcorder for you.

On Friday, JVC unwrapped the Bluetooth-enabled GZ-HM550. As we hinted at above, the venerable wireless standard will give the camcorder a number of potentially superfluous – or useful – features. Perhaps most promising, users will be able to control the camera remotely with a smartphone, rather than buying a dedicated remote (which typically relies on inferior line-of-sight IR technology, as well). It will also work with Bluetooth headsets to either monitor sound or record it, effectively turning your vanilla-variety Bluetooth earpiece into improvised wireless lapel mic. Finally, connecting a Bluetooth GPS device will allow the camera to log coordinates to geotag your videos.

Aside from its whiz-bang wireless features, the GZ-HM550 shoots full 1080p video from a 10.62-megapixell CMOS sensor, offers 16x optical zoom, an LED light and flash for stills, 32GB of internal memory, plus an SD slot for additional storage. It can also handle time lapse photography, and comes with an auto record feature to start rolling when a person enters the view.

The GZ-HM550 will start selling immediately for $799.95.

Thank you for your reply. This may be the case now, that one must click on an individual post in order to see a photo, but it certainly was not the case when I originally had my entire class of third and fouth graders post to the site with their photographs. One of the reasons I chose Edublogs was because I thought I could do the same thing this school did which I found at this link: http://blog.woodward.edu/ps_edmison/?cat=108

Each child posts a newsletter article, with a photo, and a title. It lists consecutively, one after the other, and reads like a digital newsletter. On the day we created
our newsletter, it looked exactly like the sample blog from woodward (linked above). Now it does not and you're telling me that's how its supposed to be??

Me and my students are already frustrated with this technology and we've only used it 4 times. We want our newsletter blog to look like the Woodward's. OUR BLOG ADDRESS: http://ellens34.edublogs.org/category/0-ellens-planet-mayan-newsletter-feb-2010/

By the way, I am about to launch a similiar newsletter with our first and second grade. I ran some test posts with photos. At this point in the game, the post appears consecutively with the photo intact. Are you telling me that in a few days those photos will also disappear, and I will need to click on the individual post's title in order to see a picture? http://lynnsonetwo.edublogs.org/

I'm very confused.
