New JVC HD7000 (2/3" CMOS)
 

Digital Producer magazine just put up a new article by Charlie White on JVC ProHD, including the new GY-HD7000, a 2/3" CMOS camcorder with 1920 x 1080 native resolution, that shoots in 720p and 1080i. There's also now detailed pictures of the GY-HD100U. The article includes a lengthy interview with Dave Walton, National Marketing Communications Manager of JVC Professional Products.

The 7000 is a year off (perhaps NAB 2006)--the vaporware version was at NAB 2004. This was told to us by JVC reps.

Yes, I admit this thing looks pretty sweet. But, I've got my head tilted and my eyes peeled at JVC!

24p, hard disk recording, interchangeable lenses and FULL manual control.....I'm definately listening. The audio isn't uncompressed though...that's a true bummer. But, I know...I know....the HDV spec.

I'm loyal to the best company producing the best camera. I'll sell my Z1U and buy a new camera if it blows me away. I really, really, really want to see Canon and Panny's cams!!!!! I'm getting the "HDV 24p" willies on the back of my neck.

Oh no, one of the things about ProHD is that it adds an uncompressed audio mode I think!

Bad news: still at least a year off.

Murph, B&H must love you! ;-)

I think Murph was referring to the HD100, which is only a month or two off, right?

Heath, I'm thinking the HD7000 is different than the vaporware one that's been floating around for well over a year.

If I remember correctly, the vaporware HD cam was strictly a studio cam with no recording capability, and it wasn't going to be HDV at all.

The HD7000 is a shoulder-mount cam with a tape mechanism, and it is going to be "Pro-HD" (HDV with enhancements).

Just trying to make sure we aren't getting confused with all the announcements.

Guess we'll see at NAB.

I'll be perfectly happy with the HD100 anyway, assuming they can deliver on the implementation.

Ben

Nope, the 7000 was the vaporware at last year's NAB--field cam, 2/3 inc CMOS chips, 24p. They're having trouble with the chips.

Ooops, my bad.

Check out the mock-up from 2004 NAB here. Scroll down a bit to see it.

Hey, I was referring to the HD100. If it kicks when I see it...I might get it.

Murph,

A better camera doesn't make you a better videographer.

heath

But a fresh cup of coffee and a positive outlook does.

I'm not that stupid Heath. Thanks for the advice though.
