The JVC GY-HD200U is a revised version of JVC's ProHD camera. The initial version, the GY-HD100U was the first HDV camera to record true progressive images at 24 frames a second while maintaining a professional style ENG form factor. All previous features have been included in this model along with a wide array of extras that will increase overall usability. The most notable improvement is the capability of recording 60 full progressive frames per second, making it the first HDV camcorder with the unique ability. Other features include a 14-bit A/D converter for increased picture quality, an enhanced DSP, an Anton Bauer Gold-Mount battery plate, enhanced cinema gammas for film-outs, and a built-in image flip function. The GY-HD200U is a direct result of extensive research through user based feedback and is a testament to JVC's commitment to providing the most complete video cameras for professionals.

The Best of Both Worlds!

"I use this camera for a variety of productions. I've used it for TV commercials, live events, corporate films, you name it. The best thing about this camera is how comfortable it is when it is shoulder-mounted and the ease and locations of the controls. Picture quality can be stunning. Also, the ability to shoot in SD or HDV and the ability to shoot to hard drive and tape at the same time. I know the Air Fo..." Read Full Review »

Not for FCP users

"This camera, for the price, seems too good to be true. In my case, unfortunately, the first impression is correct. Though the image quality is spectacular and the Fujinon's manual ring controls are exactly what I need, I use FinalCut Pro 6 system to edit on a Mac Intel system, and I wish that I had been warned. The camera records tapes that are rife with FCP importing errors. Timecode breaks abound. Batch Captu..." Read Full Review »

"JVC GY-HD200UB so far is the best camera I have ever used. Cristal and very contrast image, perfect, sharp and very natural colors put this camera together with high end broadcasting cameras.

"I use this camera primarily for shooting short films and commercials and I absolutely love it. I upgraded from the 100 to the 200, and the 60p format alone was worth the extra money. The focus assist feature is amazing and makes focusing much less of a hassle when you don't have a lot of time. Ov …" Read Full Review »
