Sophisticated solution with some special

To the leader GoPro defy, it already takes some effort. Even an established manufacturer like JVC has with such Actioncam some extras and a good image quality offer. Compared to the first JVC GC-XA1 model the new GC-XA2 offers some significant improvements. In Germany we have a Netfrequenz of 50Hz. Accordingly, should also be precisely tuned to video equipment. The GC-XA2 records the full HD video either on 25 or 50 frames. Basically, the fastest method should 1080/50. This far less unerwünsche artifacts such as image blurring can occur then etc.. In addition, the focus is improving with 50 frames. Meanwhile indeed support all editing programs mode 1080/50. Only those who have a computer elderly (less than i5), should rather reduce the data stream the recordings and to settle for 1080/25. The distortion of the GC-XA2 are quite large in the peripheral areas. Also occur at the edges on so-called CA-effects. These are unsightly color fringing on edges of the subject. On direct solar radiation, the GC-XA2 reacts very good-natured. The glare are limited. The color reproduction, I would generally be quite successful, but not call perfect. The electronic image stabilization is a welcome addition. With such a wide-angle lens, however, stressed occur anyway hardly shake on. Very friendly practice the two standard tripod mount are laterally and below the unit. Thus, any standard accessory from the Photo and Video section continue to be used. The battery change is unfortunately a fiddly affair. An external power supply terminal would be in some situations, for example during a time-lapse recording, desirable. The original batteries are far too expensive JVC. The absolutely identical replica batteries "SLB-10A" (actually a Samsung model) are much cheaper and fit perfectly. Even with chargers and adapter plates for universal charger can resort to the type of "SLB-10A" Overall, I am quite happy with the GC-XA2. A good camcorder replace Actioncams anyway never.
