JVC HD7 EVERIO Camera Test

[bazytherapper]

this camera shoots very nice. I like the manual focus ring. wish I had one :)

[eastchao]

Hi, I am looking into buying one of these, I have an everio gz hd30, this also has HDD right? I can just use USB to take the files off and edit right?

[potatoskatevideos]

does their fit a fisheye on?

[matthewm04]

how do you make the video mode brighter? mine sucks so much under low light and with a bright light at my house it still sucks

[Vidfy]

lol use sony vegas it give u 1080p full HD vids, check my JVC Gz hd7 test vid. u will see the difference.

[georgeddirector]

the shot with the train looks like film. impressive

[AdamRHerbstreit]

pretty nice, i have this camera too, i just don't know what to shoot

[antih3ro22]

hello,

did you use any filter while shooting this video footage?

[XR20092010hadiammar]

@antih3ro22 read the description :)

[ProjectOverseer]

I use this cam all the time and its very good indeed - more so in manual mode where creative control is very easy.

Though I have more expensive cams, this one is very handy and offers `Pro` results if you know what you're doing.

[BlueJeansProductions]

how much is this camera

[maybachlover15]

a little over a thousand

[ezfingerboarder]

less than that now

[ezfingerboarder]

about 700 dollars

[ledzepjimmypage]

does it have usb import to put it into a computer

[maybachlover15]

it does but the file format is really weird but it does have a firewire which works fine.

[boyneman32]

i have a question. i own this camera and i just uploaded some videos to my computer...but it wont let me open them in Sony Vegas. what should i do to fix this??? and also, why does my camera say ''video file management is broke, would you like to recover'' after every time i remove it from the computer??

if anyone could answer my 2 quesions, that would be swesome!!!!!! please help ,e!!!

......

[xdcworkshop23x]

could you fit te mk2 ( 37mm) on this?

[SamKoop]

is this a good camera for independent filmmaker? or would the hv30 be better? i really love the focus ring on the JVC. PlEASE HELP ME! most videos would be uploaded online

[TheWorldInHD]

go for it. I used it, and as long as your prepared to take the time to import, convert and edit your video in turn for stunning image quality, then yes, good camera.

[TitanSmurf2]

i got this camera and its awesome

im buying the editing program for it on saturday

if your wondering... program is cyberpoint editor somthin lol

[vidman7]

What soundtrack is that? Where can I get that? Fantastic Footage BTW.

[JTY512]

i have a jvc hd7. do i need to buy a special lens to use lens filters? can i remove the hood somehow? can i put the filters on with the hood still on? how do i do it? anyone can respond and i'd deeply appreciate it!

[billset1]

the hood should pop right off with a little bit of a turn to the left with it...

you cant put a lens on when the hood is on

i think the filter size is like 48...? check to see what your filter size is and pop your hood off and then you can add any of your lenses

[ALLIS3110]

I have a jvc everio gzhd7, but I can not find any program to do the mounting power of my movies. please help me. what you use to mount your movies?like you to have a good resolution when exporting movies? please rispond

[cannibalxculprits]

Not sure what you mean by mounting. Do you mean capturing the footage? You can use firewire on a mac or PC for full quality, or there are a lot of programs that can deal with tod files. I use a mac laptop with iMovie 08 which edits in full HD.

[ALLIS3110]

I wanted to say edit excuse. thank you very much for your answer, because I still have not managed to find a program that can read the files. tod.

[littleweb1]

if i find an hd 7 for $450 should i buy it??

[amspiro]

Research the site before you do. I found a deal like that and almost got scammed out of $500. Be careful who you buy from. Hope its not too late.

[littleweb1]

thanks but i just picked up an hd3 off of ebay but thanks

[rockangel1967]

i have purchased none of them yet but i got myself a Panasonic HDC-HS100 in london last week and the quality is pretty good. i have uploaded some full HDD videos already last night. check my vids for the quality. what do you think?

[jdvitug]

Cool vid!

Do you have any issue with the OIS?

[cannibalxculprits]

No not all.

[jreyes87]

fuck! this is some nice footage

[rockangel1967]

i seriously thinking about to buy a camera and i am kinda stucked between a eviero HD2 HiDef cam and a regular canon XL2 pro video cam which is not a HD cam but provides awesome picture quality. which one would you prefer if you had the choice?

[cannibalxculprits]

Interesting question because I own both. I use the XL for more 'serious' work when a serious camera is needed to 'look professional' but I'm using it less and less. HD7 does not shoot progressive so the XL will definitely give you a better film/frame look.

[beanershot2007]

this looks like a real good camcorder, jvc has always been real good... i have the jvc pro hd GY-HD110U wit fujinon lens

[moneyriderzrecords]

ive try so many time but everything is my screen gets blurry when i try to focus on the background

[moneyriderzrecords]

I have the same camera and am dieying to know how do you switch the focus from the front image to the back ground and vice-versa? Ive been looking to do that effect but with no results...

[bboy188]

on the lcd menu where you change shutter speed/ lighting, there is an option for auto focus and manual focus, set it on manual focus. get close to something and manually focus on it, then while recording you can focus on something further away, making the first object blur.

[cannibalxculprits]

Its called 'Pull Focus'. hit the Auto/Man button to change it to manual mode. Then on the front of the camera hit the focus button which will change from auto to the focus ring around the lense. Then go have fun!

[Rfzik]

@cannibalxculprits If i rotate the focus ring to the left the icon(arrow) bounces to the left and right but nothing happens. Does this mean my focus ring is broken?

[kevthefed94]

how did you edit the video ????????????????

[cannibalxculprits]

Imove 08

[djlobb]

how'd u go about editing the mod files? with my PC I just rename the last MOD to MPG, it would pretty much be the same on Mac right? no need to flame either, I'm just wonderin, I wish there was a quicker way to edit them on both tho.

[mastamhyne]

Supremo!

[creativepicBR]

Just AWESOME! five stars! Great camera! I have it, but i can't reach the same quality on editing because i dont hav a MAC... or iMovie08..., I edit my videos on after effects and then i compress them on movie maker.... do you have any solutions for me so i could get this same quality on youtube? any other kind of compressor?

Hope hearing from you soon

Cya =)

[cannibalxculprits]

Movie Maker may not be the best solution for uploading to Youtube. If you know someone with a mac, upload all your videos from their computer because from iMovie 08 they look quite good once online. Otherwise explore quicktime and search some forums. Good luck!

[rustayfurr]

....what's the song on there? i really want to know...

[cannibalxculprits]

Sigur Ros from the Takk album.

[cricchian]

good this camera!but have used a adaptor of 48 mm? or alone hd7 without adapter?

[cannibalxculprits]

No adaptors - just the HD7 straight from the box. No tripod on this shoot either, so mainly handheld or using environmental camera stands (posts/ground etc)

[bsreekanthreddy]

Beautiful shots. Great work.

[stevo351]

are these .TOD files? and do you know if they are directly compatible with Final Cut Pro? (deirectly as in no need to convert files)

i ask because i am trying to decide between this and the canon HV30.

thanks.

[cannibalxculprits]

Yes - there is a new update for quicktime. Do a google search for quicktime update hd7

[miztaz]

is it the GZHD7?

[cannibalxculprits]

Yes it is. Got it for $1500AUS (Around $1500US)

[kalimain]

you convince me to buy this camera!!! cool

[pepperoninipple]

dope.

[depart400]

Beautiful shots. I own one f these cameras as well and I gotta say its one of the best consumer cameras on the market. Great test shot reel!

[PROCITY777]

this is great!!!!!! i love the qulaity. do you think this the best right now for the consumer professional. how long does that battery last per use. thanks

[gnaRFactory]

how much did you pay for this camera?...nice shots

[usamotocross]

[mightycarmods]
