JVC GY-HM100 & GY-HM700+Canon 14x Lens Field Test
Written by Tim Dashwood on April 28th, 2009
The day before the JVC booth opened to the public I was granted a few hours of access to both a release version of the GY-HM100 and the GY-HM700 with the Canon KT14×4.4B KRS zoom lens. The Canon 14×4.4 zoom lens won’t ship until June and there were only a few made available for NAB [...]
JVC NAB09 Booth Debrief
Written by Tim Dashwood on April 28th, 2009
This year I observed most of the NAB show from a fixed position at the JVC booth. I had been asked by JVC to answer questions and demonstrate the new GY-HM700 cameras in 24P cinema configurations. A Final Cut Pro system was also close-by so I was able to demonstrate the speedy workflow from recording [...]

This camcorder represents a first in the professional video industry by combining technology from JVC, Sony and Apple into a single product (not to mention the superb new bundled [...]
JVC ProHD GY-HM100 Sneak Peek
Written by Tim Dashwood on January 22nd, 2009
I was one of the fortunate few last week who were invited to play with JVC’s new handheld camcorder, the ProHD GY-HM100. In a nutshell it is a small, lightweight 1080i / 1080p / 720p camcorder that can record in native QuickTime .MOV files (and another format), directly to easy-to-find and inexpensive SDHC memory cards [...]
JVC’s HZ-CA13U Cine Optical PL mount Lens Adapter (COPLA)
Written by Tim Dashwood on March 10th, 2008
We have witnessed a revolution in digital cinematography over the past few years. Features once reserved for $100,000+ professional digital cameras have found their way into camcorders priced under $10,000. Most of the tools required for the long sought after “film-look” (24P, HD recording, ciné gamma and extended dynamic range) are now finally in the [...]
JVC GY-HD100 and Canon XL H1 Feature Set Comparison
Written by Chris Hurd on October 26th, 2005
This page offers a chart which compares some basic features and specifications of the JVC GY-HD100 and Canon XL H1 camcorders. It is certainly not intended to position one model as being better than the other; it is really intended for casual perusal only. It is my very strong opinion that a person who is actually considering a purchase of either camera should most definitely not use this chart as the basis for a final decision.
P+S Technik Mini35 and the JVC GY-HD100, Part One
Written by Charles Papert, S.O.C. on August 14th, 2005
I’ve been a long time Mini35 fan, since I was involved with the Jerry Seinfeld/American Express webfilms a couple of years back. I was impressed enough with the latest model to buy one last year along with a Panasonic AG-DVX100A, and have shot a number of commercial and narrative projects with the combination.
P+S Technik Mini35 and the JVC GY-HD100, Part Two
Written by Charles Papert, S.O.C. on August 14th, 2005
I placed our lovely model Amy (who, in the spirit of proper disclosure, is also my girlfriend!) a few feet away from a hot section of sunlight on the granite floor of the courtyard, which gave her a nice upglow. No additional lighting was used.
