Pro Features, excellent controls

"Well, I managed to get a perfect, used JVC GZ-HD7. Very interesting to say the least.

Maybe it's because of the Fujinon lens on the HD7...." Read Full Review »

Great camera but...

"This is a great product if you are using it for a secondary camera. Example: I shoot a lot of short movies/films, and I use my Canon XH-A1 as my primary. The reason I would never use the Everio as my primary is because it has no XLR inputs, no headphone jack, and the most surprising to me is it doesnt even have a 35mm microphone jack. These are standard with almost all other camcorders. And for me audio is a..." Read Full Review »

"A Freind of ours that has been in Tv Productions for years suggested this camera. My wife found another camera that was similar for about 4 or 5 hundred dollars cheaper, but after examining it, I called it a toy compared to this one. It didn't record 3 colors seperately and I needed something that w …"  Read Full Review »

"This HD camera functions extremely well. I use them for HD video, although I have taken stills with them. I love not having to deal with tapes and going through a capture phase. The files are easily read into a computer (I use Vista) and imported directly into the editor software.

"I have been reviewing HD cams for 3 months now and it is driving me crazy. I have seen demo footage online by many people from the HD7 and can't believe how good it looked. I run a photo and video studio and just sold my Canon GL2's, which I loved, but we wanted to go HD. Although small, I though …"  Read Full Review »

"Picture quality is outstanding in this price range. It looks great on a 1920x1080 big screen. Overall the camera is easy to use after a walk-though with your user manual. The features on this camera are exceptionally good for a sub[$] camcorder. Manual whitebalance, F/stop and appeture settings are …"  Read Full Review »
