JVC GY-HD100U Camcorder

 

If you're going to use video but want a film look, the GY-HD100U mayvery well be the most affordable and best-suited piece of equipment forthat task available today. JVC introduced this camera at last year'sNAB in Las Vegas. At the time, the company...

JVC GY-HD100

 

It's time to stop dreaming and drooling. Anyone who has been waiting for a professional level HDV solution can get their fix, now.

Manual Iris, Shutter, Zoom, Focus (with Standard 16x lens), Motion Smooth, Advanced Image Processing, Macro view is easy to set

Gain is pretty noisy, Auto Iris noisier than some

High quality, film-like image capture, great audio circuitry, easy to use controls

ND filters not enough, too light for my taste, battery life, inaccurate LCDs.

Excellent prosumer camera with pro features & feel

 

I find this an excellent camera for someone used to working with professional video cameras costing much more. The main reason I bought this camera is because it looks and feels much like the Betacams I have used for years. It has a pro-style lens with...
