Jvc Camcorders JVC GZ-HM40 FULL HD 1080p 2.7" LCD Screen Digital Video Camcorder 40x Optical Zoom

In reading camera reviews on various video cameras I noticed comments concerning the format used in the video recording format of the camcorders. Just a note on this. If you are the owner of a MacBook or other Mac device, there is a handy "import" feature that will convert the video to a "mov" file which is then easy to work with, whether uploading on YouTube or just viewing on the computer. It made my life easier!

Jvc Camcorders JVC GY-HM150U Compact Handheld Pro-HD Camcorder

After 6 months of research, I finally went the the JVC-HM150. In the end, the reason was a no brainer. I am a wedding and event videographer. My clients expect me to deliver a great video
for which they a paying top dollar for. Imagine telling the bride you lost the footage of the most happiest day in her life because of SD card failure. This would truly give you a bad reputation. The fear of loosing footage is now over. The JVC-HM150 has dual card slots, where you can record on to two cards at once. If one card should ever fail, the second card will keep right on rolling
with no loss of footage. This was a big factor for me. Another big selling point was this camcorder is final cut pro friendly. While every other videographer are scratching their heads and
loosing sleep because they can't figure out how to import their AVCHD files into their computer...Here I am with 3 hours of footage that will take only 30 minutes to capture to final cut pro. "WHAT A BLESSING THIS IS"...The JVC-HM150 records to .mov format which makes capturing as easy as pressing a button. I also don't know what all the fuss is these days about 1/4 size sensors. This camcorder has three 1/4 size ccd chips and works great in low light. Sure, you might have to tweak it just a bit in low light but at 15 db of gain, the image is still fairly crisp.
You should always use an on board light anyways...no matter what size chip cam you are shooting with. Oh, and I forgot to mention, NO jello or rolling shutter effect, thanks to the ccd chips.
The JVC-HM150 is compact but yet very solid and well built. It looks very professional, just slap on a head set and most people will think your from the local news.

Jvc Camcorders JVC Everio GZ-MG360 60GB Hard Drive Camcorder with 35x Optical Zoom
I've recorded probably just 10 hours with the camera, and I am pleased with my purchase of this camera. My wife and I were expecting our first baby (who was born 7/9/08), and I had done quite a bit of research before deciding to but this particular model. I "test drove" several different brands and models by JVC, and decided that the Everio was the route I wanted to go. The good things about this camera that I've noticed thus far are the battery life, the massive 60 GB hard drive, the built-in light, the size, and definitely the price. There are points that I would like to warn folks about. The video and audio recording quality is decent, but not exceptional. If you are looking for a camera based upon purely video and audio quality, you might want to look at something else. The video files are shot with proprietary files with a .MOD extension. Although file extensions and video files are relatively simple to convert, you can't just drag and drop the .MOD files in most applications. The software that is bundled with the camera will convert the files to any type that you want, but this is just another step or another application that you must go through to burn your movies via PC. I haven't yet got the direct burn stations that JVC markets, but I am willing to try them just to make it a bit easier to get my movies on DVDs. For the most part, to view our movies, we hook the camera directly up to the TV...which works very well for quick video showings.

All in all, for my entry level camcorder and the way in which we will use this camera, I am happy that I chose this model (Everio GZ-MG360). I hope my little review will help...because I know how nerve-racking shopping for a camcorder can be!

Jvc Camcorders JVC Everio GZ-HM35BUSD 1080p HD Flash Memory Camcorder

OK, I will admit it...when I first got this camera in the mail (I ordered a like-new used model here on Amazon), I was horrified. The camera is small and incredibly light weight. I thought I had foreign made plastic junk in my hands. So, if you are buying this camera to look impressive to someone else, well, you might consider another item. :) Ha! My mind quickly changed.

I put this camera through some tests by taking it on a field trip to the Chicago area museums with my students. I could easily carry it and easily stuff it in my pants pocket when not using it. (yes, it is that small). At first, I thought the camera would easily break, but it seems to be fairly sturdy (I didn't use any case with it).

HXR-MC2000 Shoulder Mount AVCHD Camcorder + Huge SSE Accessories Bundle Including .45x Wide Angle Lens

Sony HXR-MC2000 Shoulder Mount AVCHD Camcorder + Huge SSE Accessories Bundle Including .45x Wide Angle Lens, 2x Telephoto Lens, 3 Piece Multi-Coated Filter Kit, 8GB SD Memory Card, USB Memory Card Reader, HDMI Cable, 2 Extended Life Replacement Batteries, Rapid Travel Charger, Waterproof Carrying Case, 70 Inch PRO Tripod and Cleaning Kit

The camera captures HD video, and you can easily import it using the included software.

The kit comes with a huge number of accessories.

It takes about 30-45 minute to assemble everything, and you are ready to shoot video!

This is perfect for the high end hobbiest or low-end, starting professional.

A few caveats would be helpful.

First, it comes with an 8 Gbyte card, but you really want to get a 32-64 Gbyte card.

Also, the included battery is fine, but if you are doing a lot of field work then you will want to buy an extended life battery or two for your work.

Also, you do want to use the included software to download the compressed video.

Once you have the video in standard form, you will be able to use any of the commonly available post-production software to edit and enhance the video. I use Sony Vegas and Pinnacle Studio for most of my work.

All in all, it is a very cost effective product.

Jvc Camcorders JVC GC-PX100 Full HD Everio Camcorder, 10x Optical Zoom, 200x Digital Zoom

My first experience with JVC was with the GS-TD1 3d camcorder. It performed to my expectations and more. After about a year and countless hours of shooting i decided to upgrade to another camera/camcorder. My original choice was Canons XA10 but that was well out of my budget then i stumbled accidentally onto this intimidating piece. At first i did not really think of getting it but then after much research, i finally gave in and bought it. If you have purchased other cameras / camcorders from JVC just know that this beauty has all the familiar menus and buttons all strategically located/placed for the user shooter. At first glance it has a very intimidating appearance and the size (see specifications) is just perfect for on the go shots. Absolutely do not let its small size fool you! this little monster is just a joy to operate with its quick and easy settings menu. No bells and whistles no hoopla and other fancy gadgetry to get in the way ( my Nikon D7000 is a lot more complicated)! All in all i would say that if you are looking for a no nonsense camera that is durable , uncomplicated , with beautiful shots /end results be it in 600 fps or 120 fps then this camera is for you. like i said even though its a cute smallish camera it rocks compared to those other bulky ones (who said that a video camera had to be of large broadcast style type should be shot)! I shoot video and stills overseas and on ships where the action is intense and fast, take my word ... i absolutely love this camera..ordering a second soon. Add a steady shot shoulder stock mount with pistol grip and watch the heads turn from the cameras appearance and of course it end product. I should also mention that Beach Camera and Amazon did an amazing job of shipping it out to me even though i am halfway around the world. Wonderful job! Thank You for supporting us Veterans!

This is a good little camera for the price. The picture quality is a little lacking compared to some of the more higher priced cameras, but with that said it is worth the cost. I have had this unit for about 2 months and I am happy with the camera. Great cheap camera to take on hiking or camping trips where you might worry about damaging a more exspensive camera. Good camera also for someone who may want a camera around for just occasional and dosen't want to tie up a alot in something that get's used 3 times a year.

View videos with a high resolution 2.5-inch amorphous silicon LCD color monitor

Jvc Camcorders JVC Everio GZ-R10 Quad Proof Full HD Digital Video Camera Camcorder (Black)

If you want a weather proof camcorder this is it. The video quality is great. Just remember you have to record in the uxp setting without the face detection using a SDXC card for the best quality. The view finder doesn't show the true capture quality. Before you start you have to go to the menu and set it up. JVC states you can't use uxp setting and put the video on DVD they are wrong. If you have the Pinnacle Studio HD14 editing program you can capture the video from the card on your computer, then edit it and burn to any format you want be it Bluray, DVD or many other formats available . It takes time but it is well worth it. Once the card is recognized open the files until you find stream then the program will recognize all the scenes you have taken, then capture them. JVC along with other camcorder manufacturers need to expand their manuals so the user can take advantage of these great camcorders. Why anyone would want to use the inferior shooting modes or cards is ridiculous. Minus one star for bad user manual and inferior viewfinder screen. Also if and when the price goes down on the JVC GZ-R 10 I will buy another one. Just found out it takes a 128GB SDXC card which gives you 11 hours of video recording at the best quality. I wanted to upload a test video but for some reason this web site even though it says you can I can't get it to work with any of the formats they list. Some reviewer claimed their Canon was better,I have owned four different Canon's and none match the JVC.
. I also own the JVC GZ-E300 Refurbished for $140. and it is great but not weather proof. And no I don't work for JVC or any company that gets paid to review camcorders,,,, I am retired and they can't buy me.

After testing this camera on several shoots as part of a class assignment, I was pleased with the quality of image it produced. The battery life is acceptable, and the camera has room for two batteries, making it even more reliable. The menu and interface is nearly identical to the JVC Everio line. The most noticeable differences between this model and the JVC Everio is the build (being shoulder-mounted), the added focus ring (which still feels like a simulated rather than mechanical function), the buttons on the body of the camera allowing for adjustments to the picture (iris, white balance, gain, shutter, all being adjustments with a simulated feel), the eyepiece, and the different recording formats (including 60p). White balancing is easy; other controls are not so naturally adjusted, such as iris and shutter speed. There are definite sacrifices made in terms of usability and functionality, but I feel that it is still worth the ~$1,599 price tag.
