JVC’s new “Everio X” GZ-X900 camcorder is just what we like in a flagship device: incredible style, crazy specs, and awesome slow motion video of us slapping people. The GZ-X900 reworks the Everio line into a new brick-like form factor that’s bordering on the shape of camcorders of yore, but JVC puts a nice twist to it, and the camera is obviously very compact. JVC used some “premium materials” in the construction and it really shows, but what’s more exciting is the high-end 1080p resolution, with 1000 “TV lines” to sample from (it’s not upscaling from a completely bum source like many compact camcorders). The unit also works as a fast-action still camera, for 9 megapixel shots at 15 fps, and 5.3 megapixel shots at 60 fps. What we’re really wild about is the 600 fps slow motion, which operates at a 640 x 72 resolution — you can get more pixels at slower frame rates. Unfortunately, none of this good stuff comes cheap: the camera hits retail in June for an even $1000.

So, CES is over. Don’t cry, we’ve done enough of that for all of you over our battered feet and crooked backs in the last few days. Instead, cheer up because here is our super awesome collection of CES booth babes, available for your perusal and more importantly, your vote. Yes, not only can voting elect governments and decide between greasy pizza or nutritious McD’s for the office lunch, but it can now also get you some drool-worthy convention floor swag.

We were able to find 13 beautiful ladies willing to be photographed. But it wasn’t easy. Some were clearly used to this sort of thing while others had to be coaxed and convinced they wouldn’t be sharing space with anyone from the other show (NSFW). Some were easily available for the photo op, while yet others had to be fetched from their resting areas after lengthy discussions with careful executives (*cough*Casio*cough*). We wanted to tell you all this so you’re aware of the effort that goes into something like this. Yeah… It’s a dirty job, but someone’s got to do it.

So, now, hit the jump to see the girls, find out what you might win and vote!

1. The Blu:Sens Girl.

2. The Isis Dei Girls.

3. The X-Rocker Vibe Girl (Go ahead and see if you can find a website)

4. The 2XL/Skullcandy Girl.

5. The Creative girl.

6. The Logic Wireless LLC girl. (Again, no website that we can find)

7. The Casio girl.

8. The Diesel Audio girl.

9. The Tri Spec girl.

10. The JVC girl.

11. The Motevo girl.

12. The Intel girl

13. The OrbitSound girls.

So there you have it, folks. Now, what’s up for grabs and how to win? Read on.

We’re giving away 7.3lbs of showfloor swag. This includes an enormous amount of CES memorabilia: over 30GB’s worth of various flash drives (pre-loaded with press material, lucky you!), an MP3 player, a CES bag given exclusively to the press, a digital luggage scale… Heck, just click on the below picture for a higher resolution version of everything you’re getting.

How to win? Leave a comment voting for your favorite booth babe. Again, don’t spam, or we’ll ban your IP. We’ll pick a random winner from all the entries.

Deadline? We’re leaving the comments open until Wednesday, January 14th, 11:59pm EST.

Who can enter? It’s open to the world. Yes world, you too can get a piece of CES action without having to travel halfway across the planet!

Enjoy!

Before buying either the JVC GY-HM100 / GY-HM700, you better be darn well married to Apple’s Final Cut Pro. Said ProHD camcorders are the industry’s first in the solid state line to store files in native QuickTime format onto SDHC cards. Apple’s pushing the fact that users don’t have to transcode or re-wrap prior to editing, and considering that each one cam can hold twin SDHC cards, you’ll be able to capture a maximum of 64GB before needing to reload. And just think, this time next year the successor will hit with dual SDXC support, giving buyers a maximum capacity of 4TB. Decisions, decisions.

Full-blown boomboxes definitely aren’t as popular as they once were, but there’s still something curiously attractive about buying a music system that can be slung upside one’s shoulder when the mood strikes you. To that end, JVC has introduced a new trio in its micro audio system, with the UX-GN6 boasting a “wake-up” sensor that turns the rig on when motion is spotted and a “laser touch” control feature, which is a sophisticated way of saying touch sensitive. Obviously, all three play nice with iPods, and they’ll all be available in around two months for $99.95, $149.95 and $199.95 for the UX-G200, UX-LP5 and the UX-GN6, respectively.
