Review: JVC GY-HD100U ProHD Camcorder

If you want a true HD camera with 24p capability, put down the magazine and write your friendly JVC dealer a check. This camera rocks! It has image quality, features, and flexibility, as well as true 24p support. And there it was. A true 24p high-definition camcorder, all mine to play with. And did it live up to its advance billing? To prevent all of you from fast-forwarding to the end of the movie, er, I mean skipping to the conclusion, if you want a true HD camera with 24p capability, put down the magazine and write your friendly JVC dealer a check. This camera rocks! It has image quality, features, and flexibility. I think it is the best of the HDV releases from NAB 2005 andâ€â€from what I've seen so farâ€â€2006. Here's why. Looks and Intro As you approach the camera you will notice that it is very well thought-out in every respect, from the layout of the buttons to the professional shoulder configuration and design. It is clear that JVC took a serious approach to building this HDV camera, the first of a new generation of smaller HD offerings from JVC. It is almost a mix between a large shoulder cam and the new smaller handheld versions, which, if anyone looked recently, are quickly growing past their "handheld" size and weight! The HD100 weighs about 7 lb. with lens. read more...
