Pros + Excellent resolution in brightness and color
+ Very small
+ Many manual functions
+ 25 FPS-mode
+ No rolling shutter, Thanks to the CCD
Cons - Optics only average, small wide-angle
- No microphone jack
- unergonomic design
- no viewfinder
- Lowlight
- Not particularly sharp
-manual controls
Conclusion The Canon HV10 has an CMOS with excellent resolution, which almost uses the HDV possibilities of brightness and color resolution to the full.The lens shows very little distorsion, but offers only a small wide angle, and throughout the focal range slight chromatic aberrations can be seen.Under lowlight conditions the HV10 performs - as expected with a camcorder in this price range - average, a better configuration rating is hinderd by lacking audio-I/O optionsFor 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.
