I was at a New York City camera event-CreativeSphere-where several camera firms had displays.

In walking thru the exhibits, I stopped into the JVC booth to look over the HM150 (mock-up under glass) and the new 7xx series JVC pro camera.

I like JVC cameras.

Years and years ago I had a JVC DV500 which was great for what it did.

I have used the HD100/200 series and have been a fan.

I would even still consider buying a used HD110 because of the ergos and what it does in 720p.

I complimented the JVC rep on staying in the game and not abandoning camera production to the big 3 Sony/Panasonic/Canon.

The fellow I spoke to was...Craig Yanagi!

This is the same Craig Yanagi that monitors the JVC on the DVINFO site.

I told him how the DVINFO site appreciated having a JVC rep monitor the board.

We gabbed about the business of digital acquisition (cameras!) and then I moved on.

I felt the need to share with you good DVINFO folks the obvious-Craig Yanagi exists (and he seemed like a good guy!).

YMMV

Be well

I saw Craig at NAB 2 years ago. I had just bought my HM 700 since they just came out and he was asking me what I liked and didn't like. It's great talking to people in person who you see on DVinfo all the time.
