Any news on HM700w/Canon14x Shipping
 

Has anyone heard if the 700 is shipping with the Canon 14x yet?
I thought JVC said it would ship in June.

My local dealer, FWIW, says the rep told them that the Canon lens has been delayed until at least mid-July... that's when I decided to go for the Fujinon lens rather than wait.

My dealer indicated later than that... and that the production 14x lenses were a disappointment.

JVC-Germany says that the Canon 14x rollout is this untill June09. And all customers should have their JVC HM700E untill the 4th of Juli09.

Our JVC rep here in Austin said they would be shipping the final week of June. That could be Monday?

My HM700 comes on the 30.6.09 to the broadcast-reseller,
I get my HM700 with the Canon 14x yesterday on the 3th of July,
a really nice lens! Less CA, a good DOF.

Eric - we hope you can post a small sample showing how the lens performs......

I am awaiting reviews on the 700 with Canon 14x - very interested in your footage & review.

I make the last three days some testshots, nearly 5 to 6 fan-hours a day, today a shot in a church, with the heat in the room and the temperature into the cam, you hear a little noise, its the fan inside. Yesterday I shot on a MTB-Marathon, I don`t hear the fan outside.

In puncto CA, I see on 1080i50 SP a little bit more CA that on 720p50 SP, but on the 1080i50 SP-Footage (25 MBit) I shot with a O-Hazefilter to prevent my lens. Probably that can be not so good against CAs, without an O-Haze its really better.

Soon I will upload some test-clips.

Eric - das ist gut - vielen Dank!!

Hi,

Eric - thank you so much - now I am thirsty on two fronts :-)

Overcranking and Undercranking - JVC HM700 with Canon 14x on Vimeo

A short test in 720p25 Over/Undercranking.

Eric: Danke!

One question: in the overcrank footage, the yellow flower approximately 3/4 of the way in has light green fringing on the top. Can you confirm that this occurs on the not-compressed-for-Vimeo footage as well?

In FinalCut it looks good, but after compression
the yellowflower looks on Vimeo a little
green, I wondered, but I think that will
be the compression.

Eric: that's what I was thinking. Thanks for checking. Looks REALLY good.

Some of my friends was on a mountainbike-race over 12 hours, a short preview
is uploaded to Vimeo http://vimeo.com/5515030

The final upload will be next weak - I think the 720p with CCD and no Rollingshutter
will be good for sport and speed footages.

Just got my 700U with the Canon lens today from B&H. Nice.... It appears they are now coming in again. Now if I could only get the two 32G Panasonic cards, B&H is out again....

Lens filter
 

A little question,
I just used a uv-lens-filter to protect my Canon-lens and I see breathing and mirror-effects, but it was a multicoated filter, so my question which lens-filter should be good for HD.

I think the Hoya UV HMC Super Pro 1 will be the best with scratch guard - but
the Hoya UV HMC Super will be also good, but no scratch guard.

Thanks.

Eric
