Total score ?
(maximal 570)		306 
Pros + No rolling shutter, Thanks to the CCD
 
Cons - 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.
