Could someone please explain to me what is the difference between the GY-HM700L17 and the 700u. B&H has these cameras priced differently, but I can not seem to find any difference. The 700u is all that I can find listed on JVC's website.

Looking at the B&H site, it appears the 700U comes with the Canon 14X4.5 lens, while the 700L17 comes with the Fujinon 17x5 lens. (Unless you're finding another entry than the ones that popped up in my search.)

...the 700U comes with the Canon 14X4.5 lens, while the 700L17 comes with the Fujinon 17x5 lens.

That's correct, Bob.
