JVC HD5 vs. HD300

[Matt Eash]

Hello to all, I've been doing some reading on here and have found some interesting information.

I'm in an interesting position where I have a JVC HD5 and am trying to compare it to the HD300 or the HD20. I wanted to get your opinions on this. I know the HD5 is CCD and the newer models HD300 is a CMOS chip.

I'm not doing any fancy film work, I'm simply at this point doing family videos and *maybe* something more creative at some point.

The HD5 I think may be the better camera, but I figured I would ask those who really know.

thanks for your input.

Forget HD300, you can not compare it with HD5! See here comparision chart: JVC - Specifications Comparison Chart

HD5 and HD6 are same. HD30 and HD40 are also considarable, we have choice to record both in AVCHD and MPEG2.
