Total score ?
(maximal 570)		298 
Pros + No rolling shutter, Thanks to the CCD
 
Cons - No headphone jack
- No viewfinder
- Lowlight
- Not particularly sharp
-manual controls
 
Conclusion For the JVC speaks almost exclusively the lack of CMOS-rolling shutter and - in special cases - maybe the MPEG2 recording.It is a pity that JVC did not pursue innovations such as HDV on SD or professional usability as they did with the HD7.The fact that the HD5 even lacks a headphone jack adds to its shortcomings.
