Times are changing fast in the video industry! JVC's latest shoulder-supported pro camcorder, the GY-HM700, is the first to store files on inexpensive SDHC memory cards. Developed for mainstream production, electronic newsgathering and cinematography,...

The GY-HM700 natively records the QuickTime file format used by Apple for Final Cut Pro. There is no need to convert or rewrap files prior to editing. Post-production can begin immediately after shooting. It is even possible to edit directly from the...

Now used for 12 months

 

My initial impression on unboxing was one of horror. It felt flimsy. On opening the LCD screen, it creaked and felt like it would snap off and was wobbly, it had to go back for repairs. The SD card flap is flimsy and the on/off button does not feel...

Power Problems

 

I bought six of these for my high school broadcasting class in May. I just sent the second one back to JVC for repair because it won't power on. Not doing my students a lot of good while they are in the shop.

Camcorder arrived unuseable

 

The camcorder produces terrible quality - essentially it is non-useable.

Had to buy a second one

 

After buying the first one approximately a year ago I had to buy a second one. These cameras are great. The only thing I think they need to do if they every rebuilt the camera is maybe a larger view finder.

Good camera for affordable price

 

This is a very good camera for run and gun journalism, it has an amazing zoom and all the necessary features to work well and deliver professional work. The white balance is sometimes tricky to manage and the colors of the LCD screen are not that...

Amazing camera just got more amazing

 

I bought two of these for event and studio shoots after reading reviews from B&H. I seriously searched for a week trying to find someone who bad mouthed this camera. After buying I realized why no one said anything bad. I love both of them and could...

Great Video Camera

 

I use the camera to shoot a web series. I love the picture quality and battery life. I think this is a great camera for the price. I don't like that the camera can go out of focus in low light when it is trying to refocus but overall this is a great...

Great Camera So Far

 

I took a chance in buying this camera. It was between the Sony NX cam and the JVC. I was surprised at the picture quality they where very sharp and crisp with ultra high resolution. Camera is extremely easy to operate. I particularly like the...

Feature filled and Highly Functional

 

No camera has all the features we could want , however , this model comes close. The JVC GY HM600 works great at the Full Auto setting and on Manual it eliminates any focus hunting. My first shoot included difficult lighting sources and the focus/...
