Anyone know much about this camera - is it too good to be true? It retails around the same price as the DVX100 - what are the pros and cons of these 2 cameras? What should I know before making a purchase?
Cheers

I've heard some negative stuff about the JV HD consumer cam. The JVC doesn't have a 24p mode which the DVX has and this is one of the most important features of the DVX. You won't get a filmic look with the JV HD unless you do some intense post work with it but it still won't get the same as the DVX. I believe the JVC also doesn't have XLR inputs on-camera?
Anyway... you can check out the specs on both sites and compare them side by side.
Scrap the JVC and get the DVX (if you haven't alredy!)

I wouldn't say it's "too good to be true", I'd say it's a cheap consumer camera with a very high resolution mode on it. The JVC HD cameras are cheap consumer cameras with HD chipsets stuffed in 'em... so you have to live with all the compromises inherent in consumer cameras (no image controls, cheesy "canned" audio, the fact the camera is ALWAYS in autoexposure mode, you can never get true manual exposure, no zebras, no ND filters, and on and on...)
The camera is capable of delivering some very, very nice footage -- but it is also capable of taking control from you, changing the exposure on you, and making a total mess of your footage. Wait for the second generation -- new HDV cameras from Sony, Canon, and even a follow-up from JVC could be great cameras, but the current one is suitable only for its intended target market: rich consumers who have HDTV sets at home and want a home camcorder to use with their HDTV's.

i like 30P SD or HD .. i find 30p has that "film like " feel ..others feel only 24p will give you that "feel" ..
from brief testing i find the camera to be very good on a set where you have TOTAL control over lighting. i found camera to be very contrasty, unforgiving ( highlights) ... Ok start for the 1st consumer HD camera but geared towards too much auto everything. i'm looking foward to the next camera ...

thanks for your advice - I do already own the DVX100, (and LOVE it)
I just had a conversation with someone who was raving about HD cameras

I have spoken to some people who are making lots of money selling footate to HD hungry news stations. The resolution is amazing, I checked some out on an HD TV direct.
What percent of people have HD now? About.....0001.
My personal concern is that there is nothing good to edit on and I need to keep my business rolling with a minimum of tech BS. this is why I still use Premiere 6, tech BS with the other version.
Keep it simple, make your vids, and in 5 years when the tech junkies have suffered the consequences, jump in full force!
HD WILL be bad ass, but not right now. It's sure hard to look away when you do see it on an HD TV, you overlook the lack of color among other things.
