JVC has entered the GoPro like action camera market with their brand new JVC GC-XA1 ADIXXION camcorder and they've added some cool features to this small but rugged camera.

The ADIXXION has a water / shock / dust / freeze-proof design which JVC likes to call "QUAD Proof" and is able to record full HD 1080/30p or 720/60p videos and capture 5MP stills. It has a CMOS sensor which provides great image quality in a wide range of lighting conditions. You can mount the camera to goggles with the provided goggle mount or to a helmet, surfboard or to the roof of your car with the supplied flexible mount. The camera has a built-in ultra wide 170° lens that makes it possible to capture any action in front of it. What's really nice about this camera is the built-in 1.5-inch LCD monitor on the side of the camera, for easy checking of recorded footage in the field. Something you can't do with the GoPro.

One of the features that interests me the most however, is the built-in Wi-Fi support and wireless connections. This allows you to connect and share to a wide variety of sites and sources. You can also preview and frame your shot directly on your smartphone with a free app available for IOS and Android platforms! With this app you're able to view a live image on your phone from your mounted JVC camera to be able to adjust framing and settings when you cannot easily see the LCD. The built-in Wi-Fi support also makes it possible to stream or share images directly to a computer or mobile hotspot for easy transferring to social networking sites. You can also directly stream HD video in real time to USTREAM. ADIXXION includes an in-camera, Windows-compatible software called Wi-Video, which lets you wirelessly stream your videos to a PC and/or to the Web. You can also transfer your files via the camera’s USB port or watch your movies and images directly on an HD television via the HDMI mini port. The sharing possibilities are endless.
