The compact design of the new JVC GR-D870 belies a rich set of powerful features, such as a Konica Minolta Lens with 35x optical zoom and a 2.7-inch 16:9 widescreen LCD monitor with automatic backlight control for easy viewing, even on a bright, sunny day. For low-light shooting there is also the built-in Auto Illumi-Light LED.

The GR-D870 provides a new level of versatility with Dual Recording and Live Slow features. With Dual Recording, users don't have to choose between shooting still images or video: still pictures can be taken while shooting video. Meanwhile, Live Slow - a feature unique to JVC - combines slow-motion video with live audio, a feature that is perfect for sports and other fast-moving action.
