This GY-HD100U is SWEET ! ! !

Tell me this cam ain't pretty,

Take away the HDV and add DVCPro...

Can Pana release a re badged GY-HD100U with *DVCPro* & Hard Drive Whoa !
 
Are people boycotting me? 200 views not 1 reply?

And didn't I compare the JVC to a pretty woman walking down the street pretty woman I'd like to meet oh pretty woman let me lick your neck and kiss your cheek L.J.
 
i am boycotting you... for no apparent reason... I say why not.. makes for interesting dinner conversation..
 
I'm convinced Lebron James, oh excusa' mwa', *LEBROZ JAMES*....is taking over entertainment. Has no one else noticed all the *HIGH QUALITY* content on that lame ass 1992 html website? Tell me he's not taking over. I dare you!!

NO doubt
"mirror mirror mirror, on the wall, who's the dopest rapper of them all"?

Really original stuff here:cheesy: .

But I do commend the guy for at least getting out there and, well, uh, doing something.:)
 
You would think that people would be all over this camera, right? Well, they aren't, and I can understand why. Three letters, JVC. People are extremely skeptical of JVC's inventions. And this is a BIG invenstment, probably very close to the HVX100. Nobody wants to buy into this cam, and it's needed support (Deck, NLE) only to have JVC discontinue it like they have the HD1 and HD10 due to poor sales. JVC has a LOT of ground to make up in terms of earning general respect. I, however, really hope that this cam is their ticket, but it remains to be seen.
 
Glenn,

But do you think it will sell well because of the offerings?? I kinda actually think this camera might do well in sales and we'll see/hear about allot of them on the indie sets.

Like I said, it's gonna take a while for this cam to command respect. Just look at the amount of people viewing this forum, vs. the HVX100 forum.

Heck, I rememebr when the DVX100 first came out, and the PD150 and Xl1s fans tried to dog it out as a cheap "plastic cam." If I was JVC, I would really try to undercut the HVX100's price...then people will start to take IMMEDIATE interest in this cam.
 
I think it looks like a beautiful cam, and I think they'll sell bucketloads of 'em to wedding & event videographers who are looking for that shoulder-mount look.

For indies, I think it's a lot less appealing, at least until we see the footage. 720p vs. 1080p, 4:2:0 vs. 4:2:2, tape vs. P2... no contest. If it wasn't for the HVX announcement, I think the JVC would be the hottest camera on earth. But I think the HVX did to the JVC what Sony's Z1 did to the XL2 -- totally stole its thunder.

But it's all about the footage. If the JVC delivers the goods, and Panasonic's footage punts, then the JVC will become *the* indie camera to beat.

I bet the HVX footage is gonna' be so good, it'll make me wanna stand up and slap my momma'!!

At least that's what I'm hoping for. STUNNING FOOTAGE!!

If not, we'll just go with the bastard son *JVC* and give their camera a whirl. HD100user.com anyone? :)

Sure it's all about the footage, but I find it interesting that although Panasonic has used P2 in other standard definition cameras that it is launching the first tapless HD camera in the prosumer market. That's cool, I'm not sure if the presumer's can afford the workflow, but that's really cool. :thumbsup:
 
In all fairness to JVC, I never owned one of their cameras before, I'm only going off of user reviews from the HD1 and HD10. I do have a JVC production monitor which is working nicely (as it should.) I hope this cam is all that too.
 
No one doubts the Panny will rock. The JVC has a couple strikes against it already - First, it's JVC, and as it has been pointed out, has many skeptics to overcome. Two, workflow issues are unknown, and possibly expensive.

However, the hvx looks like 6 painful months away <insert sad icon here>

Still, 16x9 and 720 24p, how many of us would have killed for that last year? When you think about how good the blowups from a dvx have looked, you've got to like cams that produce 2 to 4x the information.
 
That's what I'm saying -- if it wasn't for the HVX announcement, I think we'd all be lined up around the block to get the JVC! It's amazing how quickly this industry moves. Canon was top dawg for about two weeks with the XL2, before Sony announced the FX1 and brought out affordable high-def in a usable camera. Then before you know it, they put out the Z1, brought out 50i & 60i, PAL & NTSC, all in the same camera. And that's not even on the market two months before JVC trumps 'em totally, offering 720/24p in high-def with a removable lens!

And JVC doesn't even get to *show* their camera before Panasonic spanks 'em silly by offering 1080/24p, 1080/60i, 720/60p, all at 4:2:2 color... and adds in P2 tapeless recording too.

And now the FX1's have dropped in price twice, the Z1's being discounted, and the XL2 has a $500 rebate on it if you buy the 16x lens. AND THE POOR XL2 HASN'T EVEN BEEN OUT FOR 9 MONTHS YET!

Don't blink...
 
I hope that I can blink. I really DON'T want the camera market to turn into the PC hardware market. Where we just constantly, every few months, get something new.

But I hear what you're saying Barry. It's the crazy year. All this stuff going on with the HiDef rage that's happening at the moment. I can *probably* wait until later in the year for the Panny (Panasonic, please surprise us with a finished camera at NAB ! :)) but who knows what will be on the horizon then.

Anyway, I have lots more other stuff to learn, rather than just buy gear.

Serioulsy Dude....what's next? In 2 months Sharp announces the *end all be all* of HD cameras: 1080 and 720p at 60 / 30 / 24fps, 1/2" CCD's, Built in Hard Drive, etc. for 5K!!

I never say NEVER anymore. It could seriously change *like that*!! Overnight!!

I'm in Panny's camp for awhile though. I can't see too many people / companies 1-up-ing the 24p Kings!!
