There's some clips from the HD7 here.. http://babelfish.altavista.com/babel...2Fzooma300.htm

I've tried importing the full HD footage (1920x1080) into Vegas 7d and was able to edit natively (including a crossfade), render (CBR 25mbs) and burn to Blu-ray using Ulead Movie Factory. The preview window in Vegas was only running at about 6fps though on my Sony AR11s Blu-ray laptop (Dual core 2 ghz, 2gb ram)

I had more problems with the CBR 1440x1080 HD7 footage, I was able to edit it ok but when I tried rendering it using a HDV template there was a rendering glitch on the crossfade.

BTW the HD7 footage looks lovely on my PC, better than footage from my FX1.

Hi! Glad to see a first review. I had a sony HVR A1U, which I was NOT AT ALL HAPPY WITH, not only in editing (FCP) which I could do, and did do natively, but the SD downconvert was just "OK" at best. I used to have the JVC MC500 (3ccd to mini-drive) and I LOVED the images and photos, I took it to the jungle and was VERY impressed, conversion to .mov was easy and looked excellent. Does the JVC use the typical HDV GOP structure, 4:1:1 color space??? or is it improved??? I was in love with the MC500, and was considering this camera.

THanks
