the real question is how will this camera compete with sonys high def hdr-fx1 and canons xl2? i reckon this camera could be it. it can run 24 frames like canon but has the high def capabilities of the sony! lets just see how much this thing will be]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/04/the-gy-hd100-jvcs-prohd-3-ccd-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/04/the-gy-hd100-jvcs-prohd-3-ccd-camcorder/Dec 19th 2005 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/04/the-gy-hd100-jvcs-prohd-3-ccd-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/04/the-gy-hd100-jvcs-prohd-3-ccd-camcorder/"Yay, more crappy indie films shot on video trying to look like film!"

28 Days Later was shoot entirely with Canon XL-1s.

Digital film is the future and even film did-hards like Tarantino was impressed with the digitally shot Sin City. Grayson, the fanfilm trailer cost $17,000 to make and $11,000 of it was spent on film cost alone. If you don't have a backer and want to make a movie, DV is the only way to go.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/04/the-gy-hd100-jvcs-prohd-3-ccd-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/04/the-gy-hd100-jvcs-prohd-3-ccd-camcorder/
And resolution aside, that higher dynamic range is what is required to duplicate film's richness. If a format can't even get a controllable gamma curve onto 10-bit color, it isn't ready for feature work. And the compression is really what kills you, especially if you need to do any compositing or grading afterwards. If a format is compressed, it's not what the pros use. Especially if it's as lossy as MPEG2. 25m per second is JUST passable for SD broadcast work, but that's it. DVC50 is better.

Also, note to Engadget staff; the HDV tape format also supports 24p and true SMPTE timecode. Pro features, not pro material.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/04/the-gy-hd100-jvcs-prohd-3-ccd-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/04/the-gy-hd100-jvcs-prohd-3-ccd-camcorder/Dec 19th 2005 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/04/the-gy-hd100-jvcs-prohd-3-ccd-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/04/the-gy-hd100-jvcs-prohd-3-ccd-camcorder/
What are your thoughts on the GY-HD100? As I was thinking of shooting a low budget feature on it. Then making it pay for itself with TV docs.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/04/the-gy-hd100-jvcs-prohd-3-ccd-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/04/the-gy-hd100-jvcs-prohd-3-ccd-camcorder/Dec 19th 2005 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/04/the-gy-hd100-jvcs-prohd-3-ccd-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/04/the-gy-hd100-jvcs-prohd-3-ccd-camcorder/Dec 19th 2005 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/04/the-gy-hd100-jvcs-prohd-3-ccd-camcorder/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/04/the-gy-hd100-jvcs-prohd-3-ccd-camcorder/is proving to be a very good option compared to the FX-1 from Sony. My particular interst is 3D
stereo. If you are going to shoot in 3D you need
a genlock capability, The JVC camera will soon have that due to the efforts of a third party vendor, For-A, that is well know for timebase correction devices. Progressive scan is also a better way to go for 3D. I suggest some kind of dual camera approach with this camcorder. I'm
building such a rig for a producer in Europe right now.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:12AM
