i really hate it when people say Full HD when they can only do 1440. If you cant do FULL HD (1920x1080) you cant claim full HD! u can claim Full Horizontal HD, but not FULL HD. JVC needs a lawsuit to set them and any other company out there preying on idiot consumers with false and misleading advertising!
Well, "Full HD" used to mean only 1920x1080p, especially in the context of HDTV. Then several manufacturers started applying "Full HD" to camcorders that record at lower resolutions and interpolate to a higher output resolution; for example your GZ-HD7U has 3 chips, each of 976x548, and uses "4X software interpolation" (JVC's description) to output the higher resolution. Then other camcorder manufacturers applied the term "Full HD" to actual 1920x1080i chips, etc. So, the label "Full HD" is pretty meaningless now on a camcorder. Manufacturers should obviously always state x and y resolutions of the CHIP (especially if there's a higher interpolated/recorded resolution) and whether progressive or interpolated...
*interlaced, i think you mean (next to progressive, last word) and for you to give me a rundown like that implies either you missed my point or i gave you the wrong impression. sorry if it's the latter. point was, if your camera does not have high definition CCD or CMOS sensors I dont care about the output, u cant call it Full HD, because thats lies. thats like resizing a VGA movie to 720p and saying its HD! its lies! lets make a class action against these rich and deceitful companies
Oops, sorry James! I clicked on the wrong reply button: I meant my reply for Andy's earlier comment about his GZ-HD7U, not for your comment. And, yes, I also meant "interlaced" at the end, not "interpolated"...
It's a pity the HD standard refers to *display* resolution only, not the quality. The 176x144 cameraphone video of my dog formally becomes HD when I use software to interpolate it to 720p. And it now informally becomes Full HD when I interpolate it to 1080i/p. We wouldn't accept these damn lies with digital stills and we shouldn't accept them with digitial videos! I'll join your class action :-)
