There are 5 countries represented on this thread.
It started in the US then went to Australia then to UK and then Portugal and finally to Canada. AFAIK it is "legal" to quote any other source as long as credit is given to the source in any country. That, however, may not be the policy of the web site (ie Chris Hurd). Anyway, it's not big deal to get a UN and PW for the article to read. |

Chris, what I wrote above wasn't meant to be an attack on you or this site in any way. This policy seems to be the same everywhere and it was a general comment on that (and a frustration b/c I know it means I'll make more mistakes like I did).
I just wish there was some kind of ruling that the site is not responsible for what people post on it. But, we're all here to discuss video so perhaps we should just stick with that. Anyway, sorry if I came across the wrong way. |

No worries Ashley, it's all good. I wish we didn't live in such a litigious society.

the article seems to suggest the sse effect, if present in your camera, is something you have to learn to accept and live with. i had the impression that jvc can fix this issue?

I have my HD100 set up so it can bump up the gain as high as +6, but I don't want to see anything higher than that. I have yet to see any SSE, but I kind of don't expect to see SSE using the camera the way I'm using the camera. BTW, I am constantly being blown away by the quality out of this camera. I was shooting an interview with an 82-year-old physicist yesterday in Pittsburgh and I was in a cramped little office at Pitt where using lights was going to be tough, so just to see how ambient light would fare I fired up the camera. IMO, it looked great. Under standard ceiling fixtures and with a window I got images that looked wonderful to me. The use of the Knee and Stretch functions kept the window from blowing out. Until I got home and looked at the footage I wasn't completely sure about the lighting, but it looked great. I was worried about flicker, but didn't experience any. Shooting at 1/48th in 24P (as opposed to 1/60th in 30P) seems to allow the camera to fare well in much lower light than that shift should allow, but I'm not complaining. Tonight I shot a panel of coal industry people facing off with environmentalists. It was under basic house lights and also turned out great. The only complaint I have about the rig at all is that the battery life of the DR-HD100 is really short. I seem to get a little over an hour out of it. That really blows. I need to find a workaround soon. |

Battery Life
Hi Robert,
I'm really glad to hear of your positive results with the camera. Regarding battery life: The small battery that the camera comes with the camera is really intended to just get you started. JVC's specialty is in building cameras, not batteries. Most users of the GY-HD100U have added a commercial battery adaptor from Anton Bauer, IDX, or PAG. These systems allow run times of 3 to 5 hours. These products are available from the JVC dealer that you bought the camera from. Of course, you can also buy several extra JVC BN-V438U batteries and accomplish the same thing - it's just more cumbersome. Regards, Carl |

The camera has been a great investment for me, though. I've been very happy with the results so far and the camera handles like a "real" camera, which is a huge deal. I've never picked up a prosumer camera before this that was really usable. Or at least nothing that I'd have felt comfortable using. |

Powertap for HDD
Hi Robert,
Anton Bauer sells a powertap cable for the HDD units. It is called a "POWERTAP-FS4" This is what you may have seen JVC promote. They also make a mounting plate. Full info on the Anton Bauer solution is at: http://www.antonbauer.com/Product_QR...7-14%20HDV.htm IDX tells me that there is a company in Nashville that can make you a cable to go from the IDX power tap to the HDD units. Contact info is: Trew Audio Contact: Rob Ph. 615-256-3542 Nashville, TN e-mail Rob@trewaudio.com Regards, Carl |

Just an aside...I am constantly blown away with the quality of the camera's image when displayed on a CRT. Very SRIII. We have a Sony 14" HD CRT component in line with a Samsung LCD via HDMI and our LCD computer monitors. The Sony CRT looks stunning and filmlike compared to the LCD's, which are poor in comparison.
