Finally a Video Camera I could own...

Take a look at this.

It is the first camera I have seen in that price range that may have actually done it right.

Good Luck

Wow... I had to do a double-take when I saw that Nigel posted something about a camcorder! [img]wink.gif[/img]

Cool stuff. Can't wait to see what other toys emerge from NAB 2005.

Lots of stuff is coming out. A new Panasonic as well as this JVC and some stuff from all the big players. A friend told me about this camera and said that he is thinking of getting one. At first I just blew it off as another HDV camcorder. Then when he sent me that link and I read it. It just seemed like JVC made come rock solid choices on what is needed to make a nice unit.

This is by far what is going to get me to switch--That will never happen. It does however make me want to shoot some stuff and do some tests. Who knows--It may just look like Video Shit.

Good Luck

I think that they would be really good for TV work. From what I understand, they could well edge out the almighty DigiBeta as they seem to be similar, if not cheaper, in cost.

They still do "ER" on 35mm though. [img]wink.gif[/img]

I found some more pics of the new JVC cam on a different forum.

DigiBeta will not get crushed by these cameras but by the steep decline in price for the HDCAM format. I remember the HDW-900 costing ?175,000 only three years ago. Now it's already down to about ?40,000 (iirc). Give it one more year and DigiBeta will have gone the way of BetaSP.
