Game face

This is our year. Such is the mantra of every team at the beginning of the season, but you are resolute. OUR year. No matter that it's your son's first venture into Little League. To top it off, you're prepared to the gills: a cooler full of hydrating sports drinks and bottled water, peanut butter sandwiches in individual baggies, and your new JVC Everio GZ-EX355 camcorder.

Game face

This is our year. Such is the mantra of every team at the beginning of the season, but you are resolute. OUR year. No matter that it's your son's first venture into Little League. To top it off, you're prepared to the gills: a cooler full of hydrating sports drinks and bottled water, peanut butter sandwiches in individual baggies, and your new JVC Everio GZ-EX355 camcorder.

Sharing is caring

Of all of these careful preparations, the GZ-EX355 is probably the most important. Not only will it bring home the excitement of your boy's only pop fly catch in right field, it will get you right in on the action with a 40X optical zoom and advanced optical image stabilization, so you won't miss the look of triumph on his face as he opens his glove. And friends and family don't have to miss it either — this camcorder will link via Wi-Fi to your compatible smartphone or tablet by way of a convenient, free app. That means you're only minutes away from sharing his golden moment with the world when it happens.

With a robust connection to a network, you can even stream the game live online (with the help of a free USTREAM account). Or, you can pre-set a list of email addresses, and send short video clips directly from your connected camera — without the hassle of transferring files, and editing/compressing them for your email client.

Picture this

While the 'EX355 is plenty sensitive to make decent pictures in subdued light, there's a built-in LED light so you can make a better situation out of a challenging one. It takes digital still shots as well, and it has built-in face detection and "smile shutter" technology, so you'll always catch your subject at their fun-loving best. And when it comes time to back up your hard-won images, one push of a button will wirelessly back them up to your PC.

    Time-Lapse Photography: The GZ-EX355 can take a series of frames at a set interval to illustrate within a short time changes to a scene that occur slowly over a long period of time. This feature can be used to photograph the opening of a flower bud, or the passing of clouds over several hours. You can set the interval at 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, or 80 seconds. The longer the interval, the faster the video will be when played back at normal speed (30 fps). (Example: recordings taken at 2 second intervals will be played back at 60 times speed.)
