GE DV-1 – Shock, Water and Dustproof Pocket Camcorder complete with bike clamp and attachable float
Asda has added the GE DV-1 to its range of digital camcorders, a hardy camera designed to survive everything from hard knocks to a dive in the pool. This latest addition comes after an expansion of Asda’s camera range to include high performance, professional quality products. The retailer is placing its full support behind the growing GE brand which has developed a reputation for quality here in the UK.
The DV1 pocket video camera offers Full HD video functionality and is no bigger than a mobile telephone. It’s waterproof to a depth of 5m, dustproof and can be dropped from a height of 1.5m. The waterproof seals and gaskets allow users to take advantage of crisp, clear pictures in and out of the water. At £69, the 5MP adventure camcorder offers exceptional value and comes at a far lower cost than many similar models on the market. It comes in orange and silver.
Matt Collinge, camera specialist for Asda, said: “We’ve found that our customers are becoming far more adventurous with their photography. This sort of product allows people to really experiment and create some amazing, unique videos as a result.” He added: “Historically, cameras have been less durable than mobile phones, unable to survive the same wear and tear. This camcorder really bucks the trend and will survive everything from kids to swimming pools.”
Also featured in the range is the Samsung HMX-F80, a high definition camcorder which captures video at a rate of 30 frames per second. It comes with a 52x optical zoom lens and a 2.7” flip-out LCD screen. The powerful product, which has been praised by industry experts, is available for £149.
Other products include the 12MP Vivitar camcorder (now just £49) and the 14.1MP GE W1500 Bridge Camera, recently reduced to £69.
