Hey, that certainly looks like an interchangeable lense? Actually, it looks like a very expensive lense to me. Doesn't it?

http://www.jvc-victor.co.jp/english/pro/proHD.html

I still love my Z1 though....to much bad blood from my HD10U experience!

As I recall the price estimates, you could buy four z-1's from the price of the JVC...

Yes, that would be the professional 2/3rd-inch shoulder-mount model they had promised from last year for $20K, but I *think* this is not the only HDV piece forthcoming from JVC. Thanks Murph,

Your welcome Chris....I try to contribute! :)

the new JVC:

3 ccd 1280 720
24P 25P 30P
baionet mount 1/3"
small size (about same as dvx100)
minidv
at first 19 Mbit (nab 2005)
shoulder adapter

then a 50 Mbit 24P 25P 30P 50P 60P (nab 2006?)

about 5000 € with 16x fuji lens

this info are from a photo show in Milano Italy.
I talk with a Jvc Manager

Sorry for my english

Francesco Marano

that does NOT look like a 1/3 inch lens or ccd looks like 1/2 or 2/3 to me..

And you can tell that by?

I have a Jpeg (is a grab from .swf files)

how I can show you?

Francesco

I would love to see your jpeg.. You can send it to my email adress d.slingerland1@chello.nl


greetings

David

Send it to me as well please, Francesco. Thanks,

I would like to see it also:

oolsen1@ec.rr.com

as for the question of "how cna I tell" well look at that swf file...do you see a 1/3 inch lens? I would say no..i see a 1/2 inch lens or bigger....

tell ya what.....JVC I HOPE YOU HEAR THIS ALSO BECAUSE IT"S NOT JUST ME:

If that camera has un-compressed OUT via HD-SDI or RGB HD with greater then 8bit and BEFORE compression I will buy one as soon as they are ready forsale...

this will be a BREAKTHROUGH for the camera industry

Hello,

in the image from flash file the lens is like a 7.3 ~ 116

But the manager about lens said

1/3 inch Baionet mount

when I asked about bitmap He call another man who said at first 19 Mb an the a second version 50Mb
I suppose the 50 Mb in Nab 2006, but who know?


Francesco

if this cam doens't have at least 1/2 chips i won't buy it no matter what are the other specs

Francesco, get some more info from your guy in Milano, pronto, si? Otherwise we've got 5 weeks ahead of boring guessing game posts.
Grazie.

Hello,

I'm sorry but the Photo Show was from the 04 march 2005 to 07 march 2005 (http://www.photoshow.it) and now is end.

I think that the lens will be like:

16x 5.5-88
13x 3.8-50

bye

what was the camera like? is it a real pro camera or a consumer cam?

Thanks Francesco,

In my HD100 article (http://www.hdvinfo.net/articles/jvcprohd/hd100teaser.php), I had guessed the 13x was a wider lens.

Chris,

Great article ! Can I assume that the specs as you describe them are for sure? I mean did you get your info from JVC?
You state in your article that focus enhancements have prepared there harddisks for hdv, but most NLE's don't offer full support as of yet...
Thanks

Hi David,

The basis for my article was this post by Sean Dinwoodie (http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40824), who has actually seen the camera. His shop was given a private demo by JVC, so in my opinion even though it's second-hand info there's no reason not to believe him. I think Sean's initial report is right on the money.

Does anyone here think that this will give cameras like the Sony HDW730 HDCAM and the new HDX DVCProHD cameras a run for their money?

I mean, you have an HD camera with removable lenses for under 10 grand. This is amazing.

Will field producers and broadcasters want ENG/EFP crews with this camera?

I would like to know, as now when I shoot HD, I rent HDCAMs.

What are your thoughts on this?

Hey, put a firewire drive on the back that looks like a film magazine, and you would have pretty cool looking camera.

Would make for some interesting production stills...
