Great. I heard about this camera a while ago - thanks for the reminder. I see they have the pro GY-HM700 coming out this month as well, shoulder mounted, with interchangeable Canon lens and other goodies for the cost of a small car. They say the HM100 will be under $4k, though. Which is still

Yeah, $4K is a bit steep, but if it proves itself in low light, I think it's a winner... --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Rupert rup...@... wrote: Great. I heard about this camera a while ago - thanks for the reminder. I see they have the pro GY-HM700 coming out this month as well,

If you read the JVC tech stuff (it's buried in there) you find that it records MPEG2 Long GOP at up to 35Mbps (this is basically HDV at a higher bit rate) and then sticks it in a .mov wrapper. So it sounds cool but if it's anything like editing the HDV from my Canon, it's possible but not very

I'm skeptical. This is not revolutionary. There are two existing camcorder lines that compete with this, albeit a grand or two over the price (assuming this comes in around 4k) - the Sony EX1, and Panasonic's HVX200. Both have more control and professional features. The EX1 has 1/2 inch chips (the

It's the size of the cam for what it offers, that's revolutionary. Have you seen pictures of it? The darn thing fits in a palm of the hand. This JVC HM100 uses XDCAM codec in a Quicktime wrapper. I wish they used AVCHD that Panasonic's AG-HMC150 uses for space-savings and etc. However, if
