JVC GR-DV4000 Vs GR-DV700
Anyone know which is better?
I found a comprehensive review that gave the 4000 a very subpar write up, while I've heard brief reviews that the 700 is excellent. Any of you know? I have 2 days to find a good camera to get and my brother cant seem to find a Panasonic NVGS120 in Manchester. |

Perhaps you should decide if you want a 1-chip cam or a 3-chip cam.
These JVCs have a lot of shortcomings, easily seen with their specs. Why not go with a Sony TRV38 if your budget is pressing? Quote:
If you would have gone here: http://www.grandeye.com.hk/etx/900/index.html you would have seen that this cam was only released in Japan on March 5, 2004; and consumer cams are usually released in Japan first, and sometimes only released for the Japanese market and nowhere else. |

Really?
It was listed on the Panasonic US and UK website so I was sure it was, I take it the 200 isn't out yet either? I was interested in those because of the cheap 3 CCD. Thing is, I'm by no means a professional, I'm still a high-school student and this camera will be for making some amatuer moves and quarter-pro freelance work. Music Videos Birthday Party Videos Skateboarding Videos etc. |

Yes, the 200 was also just released in Japan March 5th.
The TRV38 is a good 1-chip cam for the money. It even has good widescreen. |

Is the TRV38 listed under a different model name in Europe, because I can't find it on the Sony.co.uk website. Is the PCC30 as good as it says it is for a Single CCD, or is the 3Megapixels thing a gimmick?

Do you have an idea of when the Panasonic will be available in the UK?

Probably soon, within a month or 2. As for the GS400, there isn't even any GS400 stock yet, or so I am told by Pana.
Pana has a dealer product shows in the different areas, and it's usually not until after this the new cams become available. |
