GL1 versus HD100U

[Neopics]

Hi folks. In case there is anyone out there thinking about upgrading from SD to HDV, I've posted a page comparing my two cameras, the Canon GL1 and JVC GY-HD100U. It may seem a bit odd to compare such radically different cameras, but it's the kind of thing I would've been interested in seeing a few months ago when I was making my decisions.

Wow.
I'm liking the JVC more and more and it's not even here yet. Tomorrow isn't coming fast enough.

Reminds me of the short film "Bambi Vrs Godzilla" from years back.

Wow! Great tests Earl. Thank You

I don't know what to say. The GL1 looks like so bad that it's not even funny. HD100 is one hell of a camera. Again thanks!

PS have you tried to pump up the color on the HD100 to get more color saturated shots. I would love to see that!

I agree. The HD100 has got a great picture. I have been put off by all the talk about the split screen issues but the same happened with the sony HD-FX and artifacting but after using it dont find it be a problem.

Well, I've been testing colour correction of the clips from these tests. These particular settings make a good "digital negative" (to borrow Tim Dashwood's terminology). Thus, you can bump up or down the saturation and/or contrast from the current point without too much pain. It's a nice "in-between" setting to start from.

However, I will also be testing the in-camera settings a bit further, and then taking the whole process all the way to DVD to find the look I like best for my upcoming project. Will keep everyone informed of what I come up with.
