Shoot Better Video With the Help of the JVC GY-HD100U High-Definition 3-CCD MiniDV Professional Camcorder

By Mimi Eshkol


At first glance, there doesn't seem to be a great deal going for the JVC HD100. It has places to hook up peripherals, alongside lots of switches and dials, but it still operates a lot like a typical video camera. It is possible to create a high-definition recording without doing anything special, simply push a button, but it does have a few differences.

You will notice that there's not much that you can record, where you lack control, and this, not only makes this camera unique, but also really nice. One thing that JVC really outdid themselves on, was how all of your configurations can be recorded on a SD card. They can then be stored until you are ready for a new JVC camera, which can be a big savings of time. This digital camera also gives you the ability to record your video to both tape and to a hard drive. Because of the saving-to-hard drive option, you'll save time by not having to convert the video data from tape to pure digital. By doing this, it is possible to start editing your video immediately.

Whether you use the digital camera mounted on your shoulder or a tripod, the camera is surprisingly simple to operate. For a digital camera this size, it is very light and it has thick shoulder pads for comfort. You will believe the quality produced by the GY-HD100 when you truly see it, but their HD videos are supposed to resemble actual life. The camera produces superb color and shades of gray together with fine and sharp details. This video camera shoots in 720x1028 lines of progressive video so you're going to have a motion picture effect. The video camera has the ability to shoot in both 24 frames per second and 30 frames per second.

At 24 frames per second, it's going to look like film so you have to use this option if you are planning to transfer to film. There is very little conversion consequently so the transfer to film will be quick and easy. Though you may have a crisper image at 30 frames per second, it isn't going to transfer well onto film. While you can spend up to $70,000 for a top end HD digital camera, you'll likely get your money's worth if you get the JVC GY-HD100. Even when not shooting in HD, the digital camera gives you better results than your regular home camcorder. 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 exactly what you want, you should consider giving it a try. You can expect JVC to give the best in HD simply because they help contribute to the growth of this technology.
