New "Full HD" JVC GZ-HD7 Everio is coming

I was frankly shocked that the HSC-1U *didn't* have 24p. I can't imagine them producing another camcorder that doesn't have it.

And, remember AVC-HD has native support for 24p designed from the ground up. No pulldown, no anything -- it records a pure raw 24p in both 720 and 1080. I can't see why they'd go to the trouble to design that into the specification, and then nobody takes advantage of it! It'll happen...

Because the SD1 got replaced by the SD3, the HSC-1U should be replaced as well, so maybe they will put 24p in it this time as well as a focusing around the lens. The latter is something I hope they would do because Panasonic was always known to having the most professional features in a consumer camcorder.

Bought one of these last week and I'm loving it so far. For me it's primarily a personal, rehearsal, casting, and goof around camera, but I'm getting the feeling I can shoot a music video with this thing without much problem at all. Might be trying that very soon. I'm pretty happy with the low light images though I'm sure someone will tell me otherwise. Tried some stuff out over the weekend and it looks really good. I'm not a technophile, just a storyteller, so I can't really speak to the specs and whatnot, but I'm really happy with the image quality thus far and the hard drive is a really nice feature.

If I can sort out the microphone situation I may even try shooting a short or two with it.
 
Marketing at its finest. funny thing is, they are targeting it to consumers as "full hd" when the TVs they will play them on mostly likely won't be full HD anyways since most plasma/lcds are 720p. So the consumer won't be seeing full HD at any given point.

Marketing!
 
"Full HD" tv's are becoming a lot more common. If I was in the market for a new tv, that's the way I would be going.
 
Yeah, but you have to remember, 720p is technically just as "full HD" as 1080i. This isn't like the good ol' days of NTSC, when everything was the same--for some stupid reason, they're allowing multiple "standards," so some HD broadcasts are 720p and some are 1080i. (Heck, wasn't Fox trying to call 480p "HD" at first?)

That said, 1080i on a 720p set probably does involve some scaling, but so dows watching a 1080i broadcast, so you'd think the manufacturers would already have factored that into the TV...
