File Manage question for HD100 owners
Just curious about the number of custom image files you can store in the camera and on the SD card. From reading through the manual, I'm understanding that there are three included preset files plus two more that are user-definable. The manual shows that four more may be stored on the SD card but I had thought it was eight. Also, what are the included presets? Are they as described in the manual:
LIVE HD30P: Ideal setting for HD30P format LIVE HD25P: Ideal setting for HD25P format CINEMA HD24P: Ideal setting for movie film shooting Is that right? Thanks in advance, |

That's right Chris.
Two can be stored to the internal memory (CAM1 and CAM2) and 4 additional can be stored to the SD card that comes with the camera. (EXT1 thru 4) It may be possible to store more with a larger card, but I've never tried. The 3 unalterable presets are a good starting point to create your own presets. What I don't like is that the presets contain ALL settings, not just camera process and video format. So when you load a new setting, it is possible that your user buttons, preset colour temp, safe action guides, etc. can change too. |

Tim,
Since you have the camera. What would you say the advantages over the new Canon are, based upon what we know of it, besides the fact I could get it by this Friday? I've heard in the past there is not much difference between 1080i and 720p. I saw the JVC displayed under a controlled lighting set and it looked good. Also what about the Firestore for the JVC or JVC's own verison have you heard when they're coming out? If others have an idea about these things, post away. Thanks Gary |

To further this discussion, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that you're limited to only four files on any SD card regardless of the card capacity. Can somebody confirm this please? Also, this could be an HD100 owner's tip -- say you're limited to four files on a card. But surely there's no limit to the number of cards you can store to. What if you had a handful of 8MB cards... say the older MMC card, before the SD card became prevalent, the MMC format should be fully compatible. The camera shouldn't know the difference between an SD card and an MMC card. If you had five or six spare 8MB cards laying around, doesn't that mean you can now have twenty or twenty-four extra scene files, four to each card? |

Gary, it's a little early to compare the two cameras, as the canon is not even out yet. But since you asked, here's what I think the advantages and disadvantages of each camera are, based on what we know of both. JVC Advantages: -Real progressive, -More efficient compression, -More frame rates, -More universal lens mount with more lens options, -Manual lens option from the get go, -Switches and buttons are "standardly" laid out -It has the iris where it should be, and the way it should work. In the lens, working as a real iris should. Because it is a real iris. -I will go ahead and list this one as well, since it seems the H1 has the exact same body as the XL2- The JVC is better built. -Better form factor and balance (at least in my opinion) -I want to add a more complete and professional menu (based on how the Canon's menus are laid out and look like), but I will wait till we have seen it. -Price (a little over half the Canon's price) JVC Disadvantages: -No interlaced mode -"Lower" resolution (it's really yet to be determined if 1080i with frame movie mode will look better than real 720p in the real world) -Lens CA (we will see how good Canon's will be. One might have to choose a professional lens with CA or a prosumer lens without CA) Canon Advantages: HD-SDI "Higher" resolution ( same applies here about real 720p vs. 1080 frame movie mode) Canon Disadvantages: -High price -Proprietary lens mount -Only one lens available and it's not a manual lens -Limited to Canon XL lenses only -prosumer type iris -Built quality (considering it has the same toy like built of the XL2) -Really, everything I listed on the JVC advantage list. If anybody else can think of something to add to any of the lists, please do so. But that was what I could think from the top of my head. |

The few times I've used the HD100, I must say it is a lot better, but I'll slap my IDX-adaper and battery on for the right balance... |

Only 8 Setups per SD CArd
Spoke to Mr Yagi, MKT Manager JVC Pro Products Dubai, he spoke to the Engineer at JVC Japan, you can only save 8 Settings per card, size does not matter, but yes you can use multiple cards
