Hi!

Being a JVC GY-HM70E owner i stumbled across the JVC China website presenting the new JY-HM95 camcorder, which seems like a successor to the HM70 (which was called JY-HM85 in china)

JY-HM95 | JVC (http://www.jvc.com.cn/camcorder/jy-hm95/index.html)

With a little help of Google Translate, the specs look really interesting, as the camera not only has an AVCHD 'continuos clip mode' that lets the camera record a single file, even after stopping and starting a recording, but also support a new 36 MBit High Quaility 1080p50 MOV-recording option.

I have not seen a model for the european or us market, maybe the GY-HM70 didn't sell this well over here.

Anyway, i think this is a very interesting camery.

yes, only in china. I'd like to see those 36Mbps indeed. But I'm fine with the 28Mbps of the HM70 anyway.

in any case the HM70 is still a good shoulder camera, now discontinued in the US. Once you put a beachtek for XLR and mic level on camera to -2 (or -1) then is a complete camera for seriously stable shots with no fatigue. (and you don't look like a zombie with those idiotic frankenrigs that weight a ton and are a pain to carry LOL)

Shoulder cameras, as it should be.
