## Overview

The JVC Everio GZHD7 is a compact, professional-grade camcorder featuring native full HD 1920x1080i recording with a 3CCD sensor system for superior color and sharpness. It boasts a built-in 60GB hard drive for extended recording, a Fujinon 10x optical zoom lens with optical image stabilization, and multiple connectivity options including HDMI and USB 2.0. Designed for enthusiasts and prosumers, it offers manual controls and high-quality footage ideal for editing workflows, making it a standout choice under $2000.

## Description

Manufacturer Description the HD everio gz-hd7 is the world's first consumer camcorder to offer full HD 1920 x 1080i recording. That's native 1920 x 1080i resolution that is maintained all the way from the lens and CCD, to MPEG2 transport stream video with mpeg 1 layer 2 audio, to output via HDMI, i. Link or USB2.0. So the full HD quality you get at the camera is exactly what you get in your recordings, with no conversion or loss of resolution.

Review: The unmatched quality leaves Sony and Canon in dust - First of all let me deny all the idiotic reviews that keep copying one another that this camera produces inferior video. This is 3ccd baby produces unmatched quality footage with perfect color separation, great sharpness and smooth operations. Technically speaking this camcorder is way over the category it was placed in. HD7 has a Fujinon PRO lens with 3(!!!) AS EL elements and it has consistent 1,8-1.9 aperture all across the range while Canon and Sony are 3 on the tele end. I also deny any credibility to "reports" that claim its weak low light performance. I own vx2100 that is THE BEST low light camera for any price below $5000 and this hd7 is very near. The optical image stabilization works very well, it is not supposed to suppress all shaking but for what it is billed it produces! I have absolutely no problems with it. In fact the image stabilization in this JVC keeps up MUCH BETTER than Sony VX2100! I linked two cams and shot the same footage with both. JVC wins easily and unequivocally. I edit with FinalCut and using the free utility I downloaded from Internet all the footage is ready for edit in two minutes. The 60Gb of the drive makes a superb storage. To mention this camera has all the belts and whistles of full scale pro or near pro camcorder and if you know what you are looking for it is a steal for the money. Not to mention that it is pleasure to hold camera, quality made and convenient to operate. Well, this camera awarded "Best expert camcorder of the year 2007" by META(!!!), so if you you are looking for a camcorder under $2000 it is a best you can get. You can get slightly better one for $3000 but it will not be so nicely compact and ready for the action. I was stunned to see how competition tries to discredit superior product by pouring fake review supported by morons. Do not use software included with the camcorder. Download free MPEG StreamClip that is SUPERB program! For a full Professional review and complete instruction how to use it with Final Cut go to digitalcontentproducer.com and look for first and second parts of the review on this camcorder, it includes complete illustrated instructions! I use in Final Cut and I do not use FireWire with this camcorder at all! I download full resolution footage via usb2 just like described in aforementioned review and footage is very quickly and without conversion in full quality is available is for editing (it can simply unwrap it in the same format as it is on the hard drive of gz-hd7). I can't comment on iMovie as I do not use one. But for Final Cut it is a snap. BTW, also allows shooting events (like plays for example) that last longer that cassette allowed). If you buy a camcorder to enjoy convenience, great image quality and boundless creativity it is the best thing you can buy.
Review: Exelent But be aware (gift comment) - My first impulse when I saw it and read about the features was to buy it, then a friend showed me the bad reviews and i ended buying a different one (Panasonic HDD)... this last one is great but i am an enthusiast and I'm used to have more control over my Cam (exposhure, sensitivity, backlight, sound recording rate, etc... that JVC everio GZ-HD7U has) so.. i ended bying it (Everio HDD)... Good things -I like the idea and flexibility of this 'new media recording system' HDD (LOVE IT). NOTE: for those concerned about HDD versus tapes, tapes get old and after afew years can't read it or recover (i'm not saying it is bad, i love my Sony D8 that in some manner is still superior to these HDD cams generation) NOTE: need place where to save your shooting, get a Terabyte! -The quality of the image is superb, magnificent, excelent... better than any... o yes, i do video editing on 5 different formats... and this is it! (Good for everio) -Good manipulation and control features, much, much better than the majority of other brands... but be aware it means more responsability on your hands, so learn more, study more about cam video possibilities, manipulation and controls... sorry but i like it this way... -Compare to others, JVC everio has Very good sensitivity to low light situations if you know how to use the MANUAL controls for diafragm, exposhure, sensitivity settings... you'll get better results if you learn MANUAL mode than leave it all to AUTO mode... can't be lazy! -Much better hardware features and conectivity than others in this range (USB, fire wire, AV, S-video, componet, HDMI and microphone) NOTE: fire wire (ilink or 1364)not compatible with many video capture & editing software... yes i got in contact with JVC support and could not give me a straight solving answer... nore the software support that comes with it! Any way you'll end up using more your USB, AV, S-video and HDMI than the other two connections. -JVC everio has a shoe to connect accesories (others don't) -Sound recording quality its good, better than others... Be aware -Steady cam? well it's not bad or so umbelivably terreble as many say... the trick is to USE YOUR TRIPOD... or lean to a fence, wall, column, etc, try not to walk arround to much when video shooting, if you use only your hands with this cam you need to start thinking like a pro cameramen, hold it very still, if you could use both hands, better... NOTE: i understand that the technology on this cam is very good for getting amazing good quality film that the steady cam system fall behind... not that is not good... (for example: other cams SEEMs to have better steady cam, but it is a trick, because they are handling a much LOWER RESOLUTION - lower quality image... you see?) so be more carefull holding your JVC everio while filming... have this in mind and will be ok. Not so good things (sorry i have to say) -For those that would like to edit your video from JVC everio, brother & sister, this format ".TOD" is a pain in the A, can't have a codec to handle it... I finally got in touch with JVC (yes again) who could not give me an answer, they send me to the software that comes with it who made me buy an actualisation for Windows Vista but did't work, then said i needed a new software, that a bought but didn't work either... (i solved the problem using a pro editing software... and works terrific, wou! love it) For those who use Fire wire (ilink or 1394) -Fire wire incompatibility to many software aplications and interface.. only one way connectivity - OUT (what happened to IN?) Very Bad! -what happened to 'AV in' connection? (amazing my old VHS and cheap web cam has 'AV in', i can connect a TV, VHS, directly to it but JVC did leave this feature out, incredible!) - (so the other brands, say what?!) Conclusion: -if you need a Camcorder you just want to take out of the box and go... i wouldn't recomend this JVC everio... get a simpler one... on this JVC everio you need a little bit of more knowledge than the average person to really get the 'meat' out of this JVC Camcorder... so maybe this could be a reason to very bad reviews from customers for this pruduct... but at the end the quality with JVC everio is superior than the ones in the market at this point (9 march 08) when i say market i mean what you regularly see on the majority of stores when you walk in and what actually is there to buy... not professional spetialized stores. The technology for camcorders generation at this moment is still growing, and on these HDD camcorders of different brands, it still has to get better... it is not good enough for me at this moment (i'm not a pro as i said before)... needs to get better spetially on the area of connectivity and software that comes with it that should support this media ... Hope this help.
