Re: 36 Mbps JVC PX10 $899
 

'Digital Camera Review' really trashed this camera's still imaging capabilities......the video capabilities weren't tested as they leave that up to their sister site......but for stills they really trashed it....sad!

Re: 36 Mbps JVC PX10 $899
 

This looks like an interesting camera. There are some things I would like to know however:

1. Does it output a signal through HDMI while recording?
2. Does it stop down in 1/3 increments or full stops?
3. What is the minimum aperture it closes to? F16, F22 etc...
4. What are the choices in shutter speed in video mode?

I noticed it's now in stock at B&H. Has anyone acquired one yet?

Re: 36 Mbps JVC PX10 $899
 

Well I've setup a Google alert for any videos posted regarding this new JVC.
From what I see it produces very sharp video (lens) but does suffer a small amount when movement is introduced into the video. It also seems to exhibit highlight clipping and has a terrible color cast when skies are in the picture......it could make a camcorder replacement for an average user but I think the enthusiasts here will find the diminished dynamic range and color casts not within acceptable ranges for their works.

Sad, JVC always brings new and exciting products to the market first and somehow manages to miss the mark for dedicated enthusiasts........this camera will likely see a price reduction as word is already circulating as to it's poor still image quality.....it only has video as it's strong point and at that it seems average at best.
(It's already down $100 @ B&H)

I'll skip on this purchase- they almost had me!
(They need to steal some Canon engineers~)

Re: 36 Mbps JVC PX10 $899
 

Price at B&H is at $899. I remember at one point last week it was $799.

Re: 36 Mbps JVC PX10 $899
 

I've noticed some price jumping during this last 2 weeks at B&H.....as you've stated this camera was lower priced and just went up. The Panasonic GH2 also has undergone this same price fluctuation as well as other cameras as well. Not sure if the upcoming "shopping season" has anything to do with it- but it might be the culprit. At one point the GH2 was $899 w/14-42 lens which was a sweet deal and with the 14-140 it was $1299......they are up a bit now on those prices......

.....guess the stores are gearing for the holiday shoppers.

Re: 36 Mbps JVC PX10 $899
 

If I can buy a Canon T3i for about the same price, why should I buy the PX10?

Re: 36 Mbps JVC PX10 $899
 

Jordan,

I used to own a T2i which is very similar to the T3i which you're considering. I am also considering the PX10. Here is my opinion:

1. 1080 60p. The PX10 shoots this framerate the T3i only does 720 60p.
2. Reduced moire/aliasing. The Canon DSLR's suffer from this especially at 720p.
3. No 12 minute clip limit. The Canon camera's have this limit at the native bitrate.
4. No overheating(assumed). Although the T3i should be better than the T2i in this area.
5. Headphone jack to monitor audio. The T3i even with Magic Lantern will not allow audio monitoring.
6. Full HD HDMI monitoring. I believe the T3i only allows a SD quality output.

Before I buy th PX10 though, I want to be able to download some raw clips to test with CS5 on my system.

found a sample video made by JVC:
JVC GC-PX10 Full HD 1080p Hybrid Digital Camera/Camcorder - YouTube

unfortuately looks too low resolution for the 300 FPS footage. oh well. will keep waiting.

Re: 36 Mbps JVC PX10 $899
 

Whats around that does shoot slo mo at a decent resolution

Re: 36 Mbps JVC PX10 $899
 

From the web site, software is included with this camera that only works on Windows. Is there anyone familiar with what this software's capabilities can do who would be willing to comment?

Is the video format compatible with NLEs on Apple platforms?



thank you,
Ron J.

Re: 36 Mbps JVC PX10 $899
 

The PX10 has a 1/2.3" chip. This has always confused me with consumer cams. Is that somewhere in between a 1/2" and 1/3" chip?

Re: 36 Mbps JVC PX10 $899
 

Nevermind. I just saw the link to sensor sizes here in this thread. Very informative!

Re: 36 Mbps JVC PX10 $899
 

OK, a question - the camera does not shoot in AVCHD 2.0, or whatever it's called. Right now, I can shoot with a Panny TM900 at 17mbps and burn all the video directly to a DVD and watch it on a Bluray player. Really nice for home videos, etc.
I was under the impression that you can't do that with this camera's AVCHD 1 codec. Can anyone confirm this? How does one get the video to a DVD from this cam?
I want to buy a small HD consumer cam, and my final choices right now are the TM900 and the PX10.

Re: 36 Mbps JVC PX10 $899
 

Here's what camcorderinfo thinks of it:

"With its clumsy design and terrible user interface, we can honestly say JVC failed in their attempt at making a true photo/video “hybrid” device. Solely for recording video, however, the JVC GC-PX10 is not a complete waste of time—but it is still seriously overpriced for what you get."

Re: 36 Mbps JVC PX10 $899
 

Except that it has one killer "app," that being the 2 plus hours of super-slow motion record time. For some people, that alone will worth it.
