Pros + Many manual controls
+ two formats (AVCHD and MPEG2)
+ good image and lowlight quality
+ professional handling
+ cheap workflow by using XDCAM EX on SDCH cards
+ flexible assignable
+ excellent resolution in brightness and color
Pros
Cons - the controls are hard to getting used to
- formats are not arbitrarily mixable
- wide angle with slight distortions
- poor low-light
- small wide angle
- dull audio section
Cons
Conclusion The possibility to record both HD-consumer formats is a good thing, but some details are missing (the formats can not be combined at playback, no backup-tape, no HDV-recording on SD cards).Nice to see that with this introduction of CMOS sensors JVC closed the gap of lagging behind in picture qualityMany important parameters can be adjusted manually, which is great, but the operation requires a little too much patience and practice.If JVC would have included the rich manual controls of the HD7 this cam would have been a real winner for every ambitioned movie maker.The possibility to record professional formats as Quicktime or MP4 files on cheap SDHC cards is a great feature.The accessories and configuration is ample for this price.The low sharpness and gaudy colour are no big minus, but the bad low-light capabilities and small wide angle with distortions are a serious drawback.Thanks to the excellent resolution of its CMOS the Canon HV30 makes almost full use of the HDV-system in brightness as well as colorNoticeable is the high resolution in diagonals.In lowlight situations the performance is only average.The lens shows little abberations, but offers only a small wide angle.Conclusion
