Rumours

Like I said before I would like to upgrade but the 650s are not for me great cameras, just not for me.Like the movie if you build it i will come

I see rebates on most of JVC cameras. In the past that meant a new model was in the pipe line. Maybe NAB I will wait to upgrade after that.

I just found this on the JVC website in the UK. JVC Professional Europe

According to the website JVC will be showing of some new products at BVE in London in February. This will be very exciting to watch. It may be new 4K monitors or a fantastic new camera.

I personally think that JVC hit the nail when releasing the HM650. Today, broadcasters seem to want to go live with breaking news before they even happen. This could be implemented in their lineup of shouldermount cameras.

I agree Shaun. I guess Sony and Panasonic use NAB to release or promote their new products in some way. Six months later they show up at IBC in Amsterdam. Canon seems to announce products at their own schedule.

There are too many choices today. When I chose my first HD camera my choices were the Z1 and HVX200. Back then I went with the Z1 beacuse of the high cost of P2 media. It think it cost 2000USD for a 4 GB card at that time. And it is really not that many years ago. Back then investing seemed easier than today.

Amazing, someone found something useful on a JVC website!

If JVC really want to compete in the market, they could do with having a look at the amount of information that is available on the Canon website about its cameras. You can find extremely detailed information about even consumer Canon cameras, but try to get specifications about a JVC camera and you can go insane looking at the six or eight points that JVC thinks define the specifications of a camera! How can we decide we want a JVC camera on such paltry offerings?
