i say you stick with the sony. only because the JVC cannot switch and the sony got better ratings on many websites. there are pretty cool features on the sony camcorder also like the 240 fps slow motion that im not sure the JVC has. im gonna get the sony.
at first when u said "sorry thats my smoke detector" i was like "GET OUTTA THE HOUSE YOU IDIOT" but then i read somones comment about it needing a battery. so all is good.
hee! lol! I have to do the you tube videos even if my house is burning! :) No it was just the low battery! I don't know if I love YouTube that much, I think you would have seen me RUN! :)
Yes I see most edit progs have hd file cut on them. Just used rode mic an seems good although guess i not sure until i edit it to pc. Battery life of pp3 9volt is only an hour so have to keep supply of them for RODE! When i get pole I will be able direct sound more.
NO!!!!!! You are not stuck with HI DEF. you can switch. Use your cam. You can switch between SP, 1440CBR & FHD. Watching your opening box video really got me hype about my JVC which i had yet to get from butterfly photo. Since i have received it i have been doing nothing but experimenting with my jvc and my mac which the two are golden. Ordered a RODE shotgun mic for it. have a wedding after xmas. The video though from the jvc to the mac imovie HD software is Golden.
i have the jvc hd7, i love it, stabilizer could be better, but to answer all question. You can switch from SP video, 1440cbr which is DV video and the FHD which is the greatest Hi def. I dont understnd the fuss about copying hd video to computer being hard. i use imovie HD and i can pull my hd video and my DV video which all look great. havent quit figured final cut and hd7 cooperation, but i will get it.
I have ordered the JVC HD7. Not thro yet but it I did research. I thought I could switch to lower res but will have to check out when here. I have ordered wide an lenses/tele photo etc. It seemed slightly better as a pro cam than the sony. It also has shoe ass/mic input for my rode mic i purchased.
Yeah, I went with the Canon HG10 so far I like it, I think the JVC has some other features that are good, but I didn't like the low light performance, let me know how it works!
thanks for the reviews guys Shane and you..and the comments are very helpful to newbies like myself. so far it's the Cannon for me. I still have a Cannon AE camara.
I am exceptionally happy with the Canon, It also is supported in Imovie'08 directly so if you use a MAC you can import stuff right from the camera. If you use Final Cut, I can still import the clips using imovie'08 then just use them from the hard drive. I am sure it is also supported in Windows, and I am very happy with the low light performance, which is one of my criteria.
Good luck with your camera! Thanks for the comment
What's up Instigate77, I have the JCV GZ-HD7 and it will shoot in HD and SD, I'm thinking of selling it just because the software is a pain, you have to use the provided software to do everything then export it out to the software you really want to use. So it's like double editing. It's also not very good in low light. It gives more of a daytime soaps look than a movie look. If you going for that cinema look I would check out the Canon HV 20.
if you havent already got a camera look at the new sony hdr-sr12 comming out in march

Your smoke detector needs a battery
MattandCory 4 years ago
Hey! Thanks! I did replace it, it's just really high up and I needed a really tall ladder, but I did it. Thanks for watching!

Hi all, sorry about the volume, it was just a problem with the computer and the compression technique.
You will be happy to know I fixed the smoke alarm a while ago! Thanks for mentioning it!

volume is too low

I agree, your voice volume is VERY low, but the smoke alarm I can hear, so you might want to put a 9 volt battery in that thing.
