How many people own an HD10 or HD1 (and/or still use it) at DVinfo.net

Heath McKnight · January 20th, 2006, 11:52 PM

Just curious how many own an HD10 or HD1 and/or how many are still using it?

I own one, but I don't use it--haven't shot anything in over a year now, when I did a mini-shoot out with an FX1. I will be giving it to the leasing company this summer when I'm done paying for it. (Don't lease cameras like these.)

I just got interested in the HD1 for it's low price.

The choice for me was between a GS400, HC1 or this camera. I don't have it yet (came to a buying agreement with a DvInfo forum member) but from what i've read I don't think I'll be disappointed.

I intend to use the camera for shooting model airplanes. I distribute those things here in Europe and want to have demonstration video's, instruction DVDs etc. Being an amateur photographer (own darkroom, all-manual, medium format shooter, took long to accept that digital photography was no longer a toy, etc) I kind of fancy taking a shot at videographing myself. If it doesn't work out no problem: I have professionals standing by to do the production for me.

For family video's I have a Panasonic GS-17 laying around, I expect a huge difference in quality between the two camera's.

The HC1 is nice.

Own GR-HD1, but don't use currently. Breakthrough cam, disappointing that JVC chose not to offer a fix for it's few flaws, a factor in why I didn't return to JVC. In part, the same sentiment applies to the HD100.

Hey all,
I have the Hd10u and yep still using it.
Gonna shoot a short next weekend. I'm using it with Quyen's Letus35a adapter.
It's starting to fall apart though...the on/off button popped off and I had to super glue it back on...works.
Once the Guerilla 35 comes out I'll be getting that adapter also i just hope my cam lasts that long...and if it doesn't, well it's had it's fair share of work.

Very cool, Erik! I enjoyed your short films!

Erik Rangel · January 21st, 2006, 03:03 PM

Thanks Heath,
Have you entered any of your shorts(3sisters, push/pull) into IFC's medialab?
I'd like to see any of your short movies. And looking forward to 9:04am.

Heath McKnight · January 21st, 2006, 03:09 PM

Erik,

I will be shortly. Push/Pull was shot in DV (XL1 and GL1). Both 3 Sisters (FX1) and Release Me (HD10) were in five film festivals last year, which has us pumped for 9:04 AM!

Thanx,

heath

Good Job Heath!

Heath McKnight · January 21st, 2006, 03:58 PM

Hey Erik,

Thanks, man. I hope you're pushing the Denver film scene to great new heights! I have a former student who is hoping to move out there (for non-film reasons) and I'll make sure he sends you an email before he goes. (Probably by the summer or so.)

Erik Rangel · January 21st, 2006, 10:34 PM

Pushing to new height?...How about just moving forward a tad?
:)
looking forward to that email

We got a bit off topic but at least we now know that the jvchd10 is far from dead and buried....uh right? Anyone else still using this camera?

Heath McKnight · January 21st, 2006, 10:39 PM

Are you only on the HD10, Erik? I use the Z1 and DVX100a all the time.

heath

Erik Rangel · January 21st, 2006, 10:53 PM

yep.
Do what you can with what you got...I always say. Don't have access to other cams. Plus i really like staying 720p. So when the hd10 craps out. I'll probably end up going with the hd100u.

I used for two years, I keep using and I love it. It has been in Eurpe, Asia, Africa and all around the US. It is very robust and the output is awesome once you know how to use it. I guess I will move on to the HD100 but for what I do I find hard to depart from the HD1. With the new tools existing now, it is a pleasure to have this camera. When I bought it more than two years ago there was nothing. It was a real nightmare back then.

I have the hd10 and an Xl2, I love both, however I find I use my Hd10 about 80 % of the time if it's a one cam shoot. Under the right conditions it works really well. Under the wrong conditions not so much...I will keep it till it dies for sure.
