JVC Picsio Pocket Video Camera: Review and Giveaway

When my first child was born, we filmed everything.  Every meal, every sneeze, every diaper change, you get the idea.  Three years later when our daughter came along, we caught the important milestones but have nowhere near the amount of moments preserved as before.  Part of the lack of video for child number two was that it was just too much trouble to drag out the video camera, plus pack around the diaper bag, camera bag, and all the other stuff you accumulate when kids come along.  Then once you were settled, you had to man-handle a camera while trying to keep one eye on one child and one eye on the other.  Tell me again why God doesn’t give mothers eight arms?

jvc2Thankfully, those days are over with products like the JVC Picsio! Picsio brings the ability to shoot HD video to the palm of your hand and can easily be taken anywhere you go in your purse, diaper bag, or even your pocket.  You can always have it ready so you won’t miss a thing.  We have owned another pocket sized video camera for about a year now and can tell you the JVC is far superior in quality.  For one, it charges its internal battery by connecting to your computer which is much better because the “other” camera I have takes AAA batteries and they ALWAYS need replacing!  The Picsio can run for about 70 minutes before it needs recharging.   The picture is sharp and clear and the device is extremely easy to use.  What’s even better is that the Picsio can take  8-Megapixel still images AND HD video, so you really get a lot of bang for your buck here!   Your images are shown on a two inch LCD screen to make things even easier to view!  picsio

Once your images are taken, you can easily upload to YouTube or other sites, and the software is built in to the camera which makes it a snap!   Additionally, you can play your videos straight to your TV by utilizing the camera’s HDMI connection.   All you need to provide is a memory card and your imagination!

With a retail price of $199.95, the Picsio is a perfect gift idea for the teens and beyond.  I think it would be an incredible asset for new moms who don’t have time to hassle with a complicated video camera to capture baby’s first moments.  Moms on the run like me will find it handy for soccer games and ballet lessons since you can always have it with you ready to go.  You never know when there might be a memory in the making that you were able to catch and enjoy forever!

  5. I love all the colors, but would choose the purple one, then hubby wouldn’t touch it! LOL! Thanks for giving your readers this opportunity!

  6. I would chose the purple one!!! In a house where everything is man colors…i need something thats girly!! 🙂

  7. Our camcorder is not working too well, and i’m so afraid we will miss special occasions because of it. This JVC one would be ideal. It’s small and easy to use, and I DO like the BLUE ONE.

  8. BLUE!! Yes, blue is my color for most anything I get. It’s so pretty. That camera would be a boon for our family. We have 2 big weddings coming up in 2010 and it would be SO nice to have a reliable camera.

  9. I think it’s great you are offering such a terrific prize. IF I could possibly win (fat chance!) I really would like it in that lovely color of blue.

  10. I like the black! This would be a great prize for me becoming a brandnew father in January :-). Record all those special moments.

  11. What a terrific prize. And JUST what I really need right now. We’ve got big weddings in family coming up and I NEED a camera.
    This one would be great, and BLUE is a lovely color.

  12. BLUE BLUE BLUE…my favorite color, in just about everything. So yes, that would be my choice for this video camera, too. Sure could make good use of it, if I won.

  13. They are all so pretty that it’s hard to choose, but I would pick the blue one. I love it when electronics come in pretty colors.

  14. i would choose the black.like you i have 2 kids,(a 2 yr old and a 3 yr old)and would love such a simple cam!

  15. Blue is always such a pretty color. That’s the one I would choose IF I could only WIN the camera. Actually I’d take ANY color, so long as I could win it.
    Thanks for the prize offering. It’s a good one.

  16. Well, since I’ve bought or chosen tons of pink stuff lately to keep my husband and boys from wanting to “borrow” them, I am going to go with the blue, it is right pretty….

  17. Wow these cameras are beautiful and it’s nice to see them being made by JVC. The color I would choose is black.

  18. What a beautiful prize that would be if I won! It is JUST what I need right now. And BLUE is a beautiful color, too.

  19. I would pick the Purple Passion. I love it and I would be sure that none of the guys in my household would steal it. It would be mine ~ all MINE!

  20. I would love to win this video camera. Ours is OLD and doesn’t always work. And we have two special weddings coming up in 2010 that we would like to video. And blue is a beautiful color, and that’s the color I would like, IF i should be so lucky as to WIN one!!

  21. I would love the blue one, for my boys. They love everything blue. I can record all of their lifes ups and downs for their children to treasure.

  22. sorry to keep repeating myself, but when you ask what color I would like? Well, there’s only one answer…BLUE. That’s my favorite.

  23. My wife would absolutely love the blue one. She is not much of a pink fan. She chills with the kids all day, and would love something smaller that the big brick of a video camera we have!!! Thank you for the chance!

  24. I would love to win the Picsio – Pocket Flash Memory Camera in purple! This would perfect for my upcoming birth of my daughter!

  26. I would choose the pink one so the guys in the family wouldn’t be so prone to picking it up for their own usage. 🙂

  27. I’ll say blue, but any color would do. Since I have no camera or video camera at all, I’m not going to be picky!

  28. Thanks for offering such a super prize. I would love to win one of those video cameras, and I REALLY like blue.

  29. I would definitely choose the black one only because I’m an indecisive person and going black would be the best.

  30. AWESOME!

    My daughter has been asking for one of these for weeks now!

    This would make the perfect ‘Christmas Stocking Stuffer’ for her!

    Purple is my daughter’s ‘favorite’ color – so I’ll choose the Purple Picsio Pocket Video Camera!

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    Please, include us in your drawing!

    Good Luck and Happy Holidays to all!

  31. I would like the Blue or Black (Only because I think the Boys in my house wouldn’t be caught dead filming with a PINK one, lol.)

    Thanks so much JVC for sponsoring this great giveaway and The Not So Blog~ Jennifer.

    Hope you have a wonderful holiday and new year~ Jes
