" LAS VEGAS\u2014The cameras inside smartphones nowadays are so well-made that it&amp;#039;s hard to justify carrying a separate shooter in your pocket. (You&amp;#039;re essentially lugging around a point-and-shoot anyway, which can satisfy at least your low-end photography whims.) But you probably won&amp;#039;t want to whip out your smartphone or camcorder in extreme weather conditions, or while you&amp;#039;re roughing it in the great outdoors. This is where JVC&amp;#039;s new line of weather-proof Everio camcorders enter the picture. Here at CES 2014, they&amp;#039;ve just launched a couple of these rugged video recorders: the higher-end GZ-R70 and its step down, the GZ-R10. Both models feature JVC&amp;#039;s Quad-Proof technologies, which were first seen in the manufacturer&amp;#039;s earlier-released Adixxion action cameras. This means that without the need for additional housing, both the GZ-R70 and the GZ-R10 are waterproof up to 16.4 feet, shockproof to 4.9 feet, and freezeproof. Both models capture 1920 x 1080/60P video in HD as well as 10-megapixel still photos, using a 2.5MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor. And a small but convenient trait is their ability to get audio that zooms with the picture. The camcorders incorporate a 40x optical zoom and a 60x dynamic zoom. Storage-wise, you&amp;#039;ll get some internal memory\u2014JVC says it&amp;#039;s including 32GB in the R70 and hasn&amp;#039;t divulged any specifics about the R10, but it&amp;#039;s presumably less than that. Both camcorders are also expandable with a memory card slot that can read SD/SDHC/SDXC. On a full charge, the Everio models can shoot for 4.5 hours, though you also have the option to record while charging to get some extra utility out of the devices. The more premium GZ-R70 comes with a built-in LED light, while the GZ-R10 is available in a range of colors: black, blue and red. The R10 will drop first, in March 2014, for $400. The R70 will be available in April for $500. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
