I own it, I love it, I'm shooting my 1st short film with it. Very versatile; you can get (for almost the price of the camera) an adapter to let you shoot film lenses on it, plus it's the only camera in it's price class that has interchangeable lenses.
It's 24p gives it a very very very close to film look. The main reason I chose this camera is because it gave me the look I wanted in the footage I shot.
PLUS JVC has an Anton Bauer battery deal where you get a free battery, charger, and mount if you buy one now (this replaced the IDX battery deal that had going on at the beginning of the year).
