Assessment of the HF10 vs the SR12

[Paulo Teixeira]

All we need is non taped versions of the HC1, A1u, GL2, GS400 and the DVC30.
These camcorders were very popular when they first came out and it’s a shame non of them have been replaced yet.

Now it looks like JVC is doing the same thing by getting rid of features from the HD7 when they released the HD5 and the HD6.

Interestingly, the HG10 is also around $630 at the moment, so there is still a big price difference with that model. You do gain back a viewfinder and HDD, but I think zebra stripes are still missing.
