Looking for any advice on the JVC HD 100/101. We're considering getting two for our next film so if ANYONE has used them let me know!
Right, Im not saying its a bad camera nor am I saying that 720p is a bad format, none of the HDV cameras (or the new panny) are bad cameras (except the first JVC), each has its own niche. If 720 works for you then its probably a real good choice.
sure, 24p is always better for a filmout.
If you know for sure that you’ll be going to a film print (not “would like to if needed”) then my suggestion would be to rent a true HD camera like the Vericam, the Viper or the F900.mr-modern-life said:I hear a major advantage of the JVC is the blow up to film. Then again I'm a producer not a tech wiz and thats why I asked yoiu guys!
Well now I'm even more confused!
I suppose if you really want to shoot HDV, rent the camera and do a test shoot

At the same time, I recommend against trying to undestand all that because it's not only quite an undertaking but you might be a little discouraged when you learn about some of those limitations in a realtime environment. So you might as well go and make your 'video' instead.
Consult your DP.mr-modern-life said:I am a producer and within my budgetary limitations I want to know the best HDV camera I can get.
I am the kind of person that likes to know how things work. I suggested that you guys try and get an understanding of video compression because it helps you understand the digital medium that you are working with
