[robertcarter1987]

@sonicfreak04 no clue i don't use MAC

[JVaisanen]

really liked this video. I'm looking at this camera right now. And I-m pretty sure that I'm goin' 2 buy this one :D

[Fingerfreak98]

can you put a fish eye on it?

[micknamer]

@Fingerfreak98 yeah even a mk1 opteka fish eye

[MrGLOCK39]

what is the model number on the software cd?

[TenthWorldBros]

heyy=) so how does it seem to work?;) we've been thinking about buying a JVC GZ-HD500 um so what's the framerate at 1080?=)

[robertcarter1987]

@TenthWorldBros i have seen 30 fps solid and the video has been really good for the price. granted if you buy a camcorder that is 300 - 400 bucks more you will defitinally see better quality but for the price it cant be beat.

[suza1103]

Would you recommend this camera?

[nomisre]

Can you film in the dark with this camera?

Like a infrared function or something, I don't know exactly how it's called.

[robertcarter1987]

@nomisre no its about the only feature it dosent have but it rocks none the less

[nomisre]

@robertcarter1987 do you know another hd cam that has it?

[MrDavetheman]

can u put a mic into this ?

[sowers25]

will this work with final cut pro? i assume if it works with imovie it will work with final cut pro.

[bluedog916]

is a 5megapixal camera any good and do all digital cameras have auto focus

[AccordionManiac]

How's the low light performance?

[robertcarter1987]

@AccordionManiac Preaty Good but the higher model has better low light proformance.

[AccordionManiac]

@robertcarter1987 What model would that be?

[robertcarter1987]

@AccordionManiac should be GZ-HD320B

[beautytreatnl]

Can you maybe tell me if it works on a macbook?

[sapphireoasis21]

@beautytreatnl I think as long as it is an Intel based and has iMovie, it will work.

My mom is interested in this camcorder and we own a Mac, and according to the site, the software doesn't work with Macs, but you can use it with iMovie if it is an Intel (which ours is).

[robertcarter1987]

@beautytreatnl most of the JVC products have Linux Drivers and usually if there are Linux Drivers you can get it to work on a mac but be ware of the huge video files it creates even on my 12 core system permer pro has a hard time with them

[conza1989]

Nicely don't Mr. Car-ter! I subscribed to you as requested, this help me decide to get the 120GB model (its been some months now obviously), the detailed comparison at the end showed, they are virtually identical (even look the same), excluding +40GB, a controller, which might be handy, and the low light stuff I think was the main thing. Rock on Robert - Conza

[X3SurSideDreamerX3]

Does this camorder come with a built in light for shooting at night???

because i'm either thinkin about buyin this camorder or the sony handycam hdr-cx150 or 110.

[lvboats]

@X3SurSideDreamerX3

Hey the built in lights are not that great in any camcorder, dont let that be your only reason to get one from another. I have the Canon HF R100 and love it, it has no internal light 

[robertcarter1987]

i never use date and time stamps but as far as i know if u have it set to record it it should be inbeded into the video file its self. try using the jvc software if you havent to see if it will stay in the video.

[ghattore]

do u know how can u still get the date stamp on the screen even after u transfer that into your mac/pc. Cuz wen i do that the date and time just disappears. I want it like the old tape cameras.

[FlippinBrilliant]

ITS LAZER TOUCH SO YOU GATTA LIKE IT!!! hahah that cracked me up... good job man
