At first glance, there doesn’t look to be a great deal going for the JVC HD100. It may seem like it comes with a lot of features but it still works like a regular video camera. It is possible to create a high-definition recording without doing anything special, simply press a button, but it does have some differences. Lately I recorded the modern PSI Seminars using this type of digital camera.

This digital camera is quite flexible on how you can record and you have more control than you think. For starters, you are able to record all your video clips on to an SD card. You don’t have to transfer the files to a new device or digital camera, it can be pulled straight from the card. Automatically recording to a hard disk drive and recording to a tape simultaneously, is another one of the impressive features of this video camera. Using the saving-to-hard drive option, you save time by not having to convert the video data from tape to pure digital. You will be able to save the cost of paying for tape and begin to edit footage immediately. Check out to ascertain if your own Team National representative has got this kind of camera.

Doesn’t matter if you have the camera on a tripod or on your shoulder, you shouldn’t have any problems working with it. The camera is not really heavy, and the thickly padded shoulder pad is a decent addition. The GY-HD100 produces unbelievably fantastic HD video clips. There is amazing detail, alongside an extended gray-scale and a heightened sense of color. This digital camera shoots in 720×1028 lines of progressive video so you’re going to have a cinema effect. You have the option to record in either 30 frames or 24 frames per second.

At 24 frames per second, it’ll look like film so you have to use this option if you are planning to transfer to film. Consequently, the conversion to film will be very fast and simple. Though you may have a clearer image at 30 frames per second, it will not transfer well onto film. The JVC GY-HD100 will be well worth the money you spend, unless you want to spend at least $70,000 to experience HD. You’re going to get a far greater standard picture recorded, than your regular, average camera, even though it doesn’t record HD videos that are uncompressed. The GY-HD100 was definitely ahead of its time when it made its first appearance.

The JVC GY-HD100U High Definition Camcorder is going to do everything it says, so if it is precisely what you want, you need to consider giving it a try. You can expect JVC to give the best in HD as they help contribute to the development of this technology.
