Has anyone heard if the 700 is shipping with the Canon 14x yet?
I thought JVC said it would ship in June.

My local dealer, FWIW, says the rep told them that the Canon lens has been delayed until at least mid-July... that's when I decided to go for the Fujinon lens rather than wait.

My dealer indicated later than that... and that the production 14x lenses were a disappointment.

Our JVC rep here in Austin said they would be shipping the final week of June. That could be Monday?

My HM700 comes on the 30.6.09 to the broadcast-reseller,
I get my HM700 with the Canon 14x yesterday on the 3th of July,
a really nice lens! Less CA, a good DOF.

Eric - we hope you can post a small sample showing how the lens performs......

I am awaiting reviews on the 700 with Canon 14x - very interested in your footage & review.

I make the last three days some testshots, nearly 5 to 6 fan-hours a day, today a shot in a church, with the heat in the room and the temperature into the cam, you hear a little noise, its the fan inside. Yesterday I shot on a MTB-Marathon, I don`t hear the fan outside.

In puncto CA, I see on 1080i50 SP a little bit more CA that on 720p50 SP, but on the 1080i50 SP-Footage (25 MBit) I shot with a O-Hazefilter to prevent my lens. Probably that can be not so good against CAs, without an O-Haze its really better.

Soon I will upload some test-clips.

Overcranking and Undercranking - JVC HM700 with Canon 14x on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/5478607)

A short test in 720p25 Over/Undercranking.

Eric: Danke!

One question: in the overcrank footage, the yellow flower approximately 3/4 of the way in has light green fringing on the top. Can you confirm that this occurs on the not-compressed-for-Vimeo footage as well?

In FinalCut it looks good, but after compression
the yellowflower looks on Vimeo a little
green, I wondered, but I think that will
be the compression.

Eric: that's what I was thinking. Thanks for checking. Looks REALLY good.

Some of my friends was on a mountainbike-race over 12 hours, a short preview
is uploaded to Vimeo http://vimeo.com/5515030

The final upload will be next weak - I think the 720p with CCD and no Rollingshutter
will be good for sport and speed footages.

Just got my 700U with the Canon lens today from B&H. Nice.... It appears they are now coming in again. Now if I could only get the two 32G Panasonic cards, B&H is out again....

A little question,
I just used a uv-lens-filter to protect my Canon-lens and I see breathing and mirror-effects, but it was a multicoated filter, so my question which lens-filter should be good for HD.

I think the Hoya UV HMC Super Pro 1 will be the best with scratch guard - but
the Hoya UV HMC Super will be also good, but no scratch guard.

Thanks.

Eric
