JVC HD6 Camcorder
-
It's comfortable to hold and not too heavy
-
The strap is a little lower than we'd like
-
If you adjusted the camera in your hand, sometimes it would automatically turn off because of drop protection
-
Everything is pretty centrally located.
-
Most of the buttons are at your thumb and all easy to reach
-
The rest are inside the LCD
-
The joystick is accurate and simple to use
-
Manual, focus assist, and menu buttons are there as well
-
Essentially everything like white balance, scene select, aperture, focus, etc. Is all part of the joystick
-
There is a feature called focus assist which turns the image to black and white and then applies color to all areas in focus
-
You'll be using this quite a bit because the auto focus is too slow
-
We shot some behind the scenes footage of us being awesome
-
Normal light looks great. Colors are warm and not grainy; very little adjustment out of the box.
-
Low light is sketchy at best. The LCD misrepresents how bright your footage is, so you don't know how dark it really is
-
Overall, image quality is really good, especially since you can watch is in 1080p directly from HDMI
-
$1,100 a lot of money, but you get a lot
-
The hard drive is big enough (120GB) to get 10 hours of full HD; you're boned if you drop it in water and didn't back it up though
-
Records to Micro-SD too
-
Drag and drop video files (Mpeg-2 ts) that play in Windows Media
-
All around great camcorder
