Why is that most of the attention concerning HDV camcorders goes to Panasonic and Sony and not JVC?

Q. Eventhough this HDV camera has 1/3"ccds, has interchangeable lens and can record in 720p for less price?

A. Are you talking about the HD110/ HD200/ HD250? Well then, I totally agree with you. They are excellent cameras, and in my opinion, the best HDV cameras on the market. It's actually one of the only HDV cameras that offers a 24p mode as well (Z1U, XH-A1, G1, and XL-H1 don't)

Sony, Canon and Panasonic have always received more attention. period. Anything else is considered a bad camera, and even JVC has a reputation of not being the best company... in some cases that generalization is true, but in this case, it's a horribly wrong misconception. The JVC HD series cameras are excellent! In one review, the HD110U's picture clarity was compared directly to that of the XL-H1. the HD110U is also very popular on low bugdet films and documentaries, as well as various news stations.

On the flips side, there has always been the argument that the JVC HD series cameras can't do the higher res 1080i. That is, of course true, for that matter, what other HDV camera can do 720p? The thing with HDV cameras is that they cannot switch between recording modes like some solid state cameras can do (it can't be 1080i/720p switchable), but if I were to choose, I think I would go with 720p. Cuz as a filmmaker, 720p is much better for its aesthetics as Progressive rather than Interlaced, as well as for space reasons. It's a common misconception that 720p is not "real HD" or that it is "not enough". Well, quite a few indie films as well as documentaries are shot in 720p just fine...720p also saves you a ton of memory when it comes to editing....Actually, the HD series cameras CAN shoot 1080i with the additional purchase of a JVC Hard Drive recording unit.

Like you have said, its Interchangeable lens mount, and professional shoulder-mounted ergonomics give the JVC HD cameras an edge over the HDV competition... Solid State cameras (like Sony's XDCAM or Panasonics DVCPro line) still have the upper hand however.

So, um yeah... the JVC HD series totally powns! So don't anyone else tell you any different!


Is there a digitial camera that shoots good movies as well?
Q. I'd like to get my wife a digital camera that she could shoot movies on as well. Not a replacement for our camcorder, but something that will shoot above average movies when we don't have camcorder with us, or it's just easier to bring around like at amusement parks or petting zoos.

A. Yes, there is. It's called the Canon TX1.

It's a 7mp camera that also shoots 720P high definition video. It als has image stabilization and a 10x zoom lens.

Here's a review of the camera here:

Essentially, you get high quality stills and better than average camcorder functions at 1280 x 720 resolution, 30 fps.
