Fantastic prosumer HD camera
|
This mighty-mite shoots near broadcast quality while weighing only two pounds. The lightweight cam is a blessing over lugging a larger Sony or Canon for a full day. Besides, Sony is very proprietary and difficult to intergrate with anything else. JVC was not very high on my list until I began to use the HD7 in August 07. We have four HD7's in service. JVC's HD7 camera shoots great video on steadicam, tripod or boom mount. On-camera audio is poor as you would expect (as all cameras need external mics). Just add the Audio Technica ATR lavalier mic or any good quality shotgun mic and you'll have a clear and strong audio track.
The features on this camera are exceptionally good for a sub $3000 camcorder. Manual whitebalance, F/stop and appeture settings are very easy to use. Just a little practice with the menus/function buttons will have you up and running with all the pro settings. JVC's menu layout is easy to follow after your initial practice.
Shooters advice: Don't forget at least one extra battery and charger. The 60G hard disk holds quite a bit of video, even at Full-HD settings (FHD). Your battery will run out before the disk is full. Besides, you should be recording on battery power anyway to avoid electrical hum (all cameras running on wall power have hum noise pollution issues).
Overall the camera is easy to use after a walk-though with your user manual. Take an hour to practice all the settings. Picture quality is outstanding in this price range. It looks great on a 1920x1080 big screen. The manual says you can edit your shots using JVC's free software (included). However we are using Adobe CS3 creative suite plus Final Cut Pro. Our video work is being sold commercially in distribution on DVD. All our clients are asking who we used to make the videos. Quite a compliment, they think it's better than we could have made ourselves. |
