JVC GY-HD110U High Definition 3-CCD MiniDV
Time to give JVC some love. I know I know….some of you will think “No way man JVC sucks.” This couldnt be further from the truth, at least when it comes to their HDV Camcorder line.
I got into a discussion the other day with a coworker about this. Sony Canon, and Panasonic get all the love in the HDV Camcorder market, and there are very good reasons for that. JVC on the other hand seems to suffer in part from their rep from their other product lines not always being so good, and in part from the fact that it wont do 1080i out of the box. But the truth is that these are extremely good cameras that have even been compared to the Canon XL-H1
in terms of picture quality, and with a hard drive attachment it can shoot in 1080i just fine.
For the documentary and small budget film fans I think these are a great buy considering the quality of product that you can produce with them compared to other more expensive rigs.

Panasonic PV-GS320 3.1MP 3CCD MiniDV Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
My buddy bought a new hdv camcorder yesterday after we had a talk about them. He knows Im a huge camcorder nerd so he came to me with his questions. I actually didn’t give him a specific model just told him about the different feature sets that are available so he could go pick one out himself for the things he would be using it the most for. He picked up a real nice one from Panasonic.
Imagine taking video shots on a moving boat and then viewing them on a large-screen TV. They’re likely to appear blurry from the boat’s movement and from your unsteady hands. Panasonic solves this problem with O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), which minimizes hand-shake in situations where it is most often a problem, such as with zoom shots – or on a moving boat. The system is optical, so there is no quality loss, and images look clear and beautiful on a big-screen TV.Enjoy vivid color, crisp detail, and subtle gradation with 3CCD, the system used by most professional broadcast cameras. In a 1CCD system, all incoming light information is processed by the same CCD. The more advanced 3CCD system uses three distinct CCDs for processing, so there is absolutely no light loss. The result: beautifully rendered, natural-looking images every time.
He’s a boater so the description nailed it for him…haha. It’s a really nice cam though. Every time someone of my friends gets a new piece of kit it makes me want to go shopping lol.
