JVC has announced the availability of their new HD Everio camera with built-in Bluetooth wireless technology with the new JVC GZ-HM550. Using Bluetooth, unspecified smartphones can remotely control playback and recording functions directly from their interfaces. Bluetooth headsets can also be used for monitoring audio levels

Featuring a handheld form factor, a 10.6MP CMOS sensor, 32GB of integrated memory and an SD/SDHC card slot, this unit is completely disc-free and tape-free. You capture 1080p footage right onto flash storage, and then upload to your PC via USB.
Speaking of pictures, it can take 9MP still shots when you’re not recording live video. There’s also a 16x zoom lens, Super LoLux (assists in shooting while in low light) and Advanced Image Stabilizer technology, and the Auto Record feature starts recording automatically when a person enters the picture

All of that comes at a price, however; the JVC Everio GZ-HM550 is on sale now, with an MRSP of $799.95.
