Has anyone heard any rumours about a new shoulder mount camera with CMOS chips?

I'd like to find something like that under the tree!

Interesting rumor, Scott.

If it has the same light body design as the HM-700s and records in at least 50mbps, 4:2:2, then JVC could have a winner. I'm sure it'd still have 1/3" chips. But can SDHC cards reliably handle 50mbps video?

Yes Craig, it would be very interesting...a 700 style camera with HM600 chips...F11 sensitivity...422 colour...yes, very interesting;-)

Great questions!

Great questions!

You tease! :)

Remember that JVC bought a chip manufacturer recently...

If you come in with something like that, and I can use it in a studio configuration like the 250s or the 790s I will take 3 please

Very interesting indeed. And another smaller model with large sensor as well, please…and a great inbuilt codec. Then I would go all JVC. I love my HM750 with the Fujinon HTs18X. It is a great combination and will stay with me for many years to come.

I have recently sold one of my EX1Rs and my FS100 because of it. I also have the JVC PL- adaptor and that will stay with me as well. Great package but not so great for traveling light and small.

Still just -

One of my favorite LPs. Not rummaging through my vinyls collection, were you?...

I am really hoping JVC will bring out a new shoulder mount camera with 1/3 inch CMOS sensor and 50mbps so that I may continue to use my Fujinon lens and PL- adaptor. As a multi cam company I am in the market for a second HM750 and it would be a bit of a bummer if JVC released a new camera the next day after my purchase.

My 2 cents is NEVER buy a camera before NAB unless you NEED one immediately...

What if a camcorder debuts before NAB and meets your needs? Just an example, mind you, but that didn't stop the BBC from purchasing the GY-HM650.

I PERSONALLY consider the debut of the HM6xx series as being the NAB where it was HAND CARRIED FROM JAPAN as a prototype so my assertion stands! ;)

Like I said before I would like to upgrade but the 650s are not for me great cameras, just not for me.Like the movie if you build it i will come

I see rebates on most of JVC cameras. In the past that meant a new model was in the pipe line. Maybe NAB I will wait to upgrade after that.

I just found this on the JVC website in the UK. JVC Professional Europe (http://jvcpro.co.uk/video/events/1207/bve-2014/)

According to the website JVC will be showing of some new products at BVE in London in February. This will be very exciting to watch. It may be new 4K monitors or a fantastic new camera.

I personally think that JVC hit the nail when releasing the HM650. Today, broadcasters seem to want to go live with breaking news before they even happen. This could be implemented in their lineup of shouldermount cameras.

My 2 cents is NEVER buy a camera before NAB unless you NEED one immediately...

I agree Shaun. I guess Sony and Panasonic use NAB to release or promote their new products in some way. Six months later they show up at IBC in Amsterdam. Canon seems to announce products at their own schedule.

There are too many choices today. When I chose my first HD camera my choices were the Z1 and HVX200. Back then I went with the Z1 beacuse of the high cost of P2 media. It think it cost 2000USD for a 4 GB card at that time. And it is really not that many years ago. Back then investing seemed easier than today.

I just found this on the JVC website in the UK.

Amazing, someone found something useful on a JVC website!

If JVC really want to compete in the market, they could do with having a look at the amount of information that is available on the Canon website about its cameras. You can find extremely detailed information about even consumer Canon cameras, but try to get specifications about a JVC camera and you can go insane looking at the six or eight points that JVC thinks define the specifications of a camera! How can we decide we want a JVC camera on such paltry offerings?

Nice! Christmas wish list? ( three years from now ;) )

DVi has a policy of closing threads like this once new products are announced.

So, please continue the discussion here:
