jvc 100 = $3500, what else would be better for the same price.

Is there a camera in HD for tv that is in this price range, I am passionate
now about video and nothing is going to stop me but money.

What is the best studio mobile set of:

camera, mac pro 15 inch, what is the best investment to strive for
when you want to do the best quality and have least money to save
for and want to make it count the first try. Is the cannon mark 11
camera a better camera than this? is it hd tv ? what is hd tv campatible around this price, I am ignorant and like your site for insite. sight. thank you, you and rick at macvideo.tv are my guru’s for now. help me find my set of tools for the least price to wow the world. thaks. mickey mitchell

Hey,

I’m a new member to the site. In the market for a camera… I was looking at the HM100, the HMC40 and the 5DMKII

I will be shooting everything from short dramas to corporate videos, music videos, etc… And I will be editing with FCP pro. I’m torn on what to do… I was hoping to get your opinion on the matter. Thanks

Hello Philip,

Lovely demo footage. I’m most impressd with the cinesaddle – where can I buy the mini or smaller in London? Not easy to find anywhere other than teh full size version which is too big for an HVR-A1E. Thanks
Michael

Hi Mark, OIS is OK, ability to get shallow DOF is tough as it only has 1/4″ chips. Not had zoom issue but not filmed with it enough. p

Dear Philip,

hope you are well. I am also interested in the JVC GY HM100 but, like andy in the previous reply, have read of one owner who found that the Manual Zoom on his JVC paused and then jumped whilst recording. Did you experience anything like this or do you think his JVC was perhaps faulty. Also, would you say that this camera has a reasonable OIS and depth of field?

Thanks for any further info you can provide, and all the best

I am almost ready to buy this.
I heard on other forums that the zoom ring, in manual mode, does not zoom smoothly/or steady.

did you see this behavior?
