Will we be able to preorder at Able Cine?

The Hm700 can record on SDHC and SXS simultaneously.
What happens if you have 2 32 gb sdhc cards and 1 32 gb sxs

Does the Hm 700 stop recording before it switches to the second 32gb SDHC ( to allow for sxs swap) or does it continue recording to the second SDHC card ?.

This is not very clear in the documentation.

Here is so oooh so exciting slow motion footage from the camera. It's Matt from our sales department, if you were wondering. This is an original MOV file off the SD card. It is in XDCAM 35mb so you'll need FCP 6.03 and above to play it.

Another note.. I talked to our sales team and we can't do custom packages because of JVCs new pricing policy. But gives us a call for a custom quote.

Or you can download and install the open-source PerianXDCAM Quicktime component for Mac if you don't have FCP6.
Discrete Cosine: Perian for Pro Codecs - Free HDV/DVCProHD/XDcam decoders

Windows users can download Calibrated's XD Decode XDCAM component for Quicktime.
Calibrated{Q} XD Decode The demo is free but watermarked. (Calibrated{Q} XD Decode will gray out the middle 1/3 of the video frame. The top and bottom thirds will also have 1 horizontal gray line and 2 vertical gray lines embedded in the video frame.)

Tim! You always got the rockin info! It might get me by for a couple months before FCS3 is released some time this year. Thanks! (still using FCS 1)

Andy (and Matt from Sales),

Thanks... nice to finally see something. I oh so badly want to comment on the highlights, or the dark corners, or any of the many things I see... but, I'll just say nice to see that the camera takes moving images that can be used to make films / doc and so on.

Thanks.

Thanks for the clip Andy. Overall, the image looked pretty clean. A little noise in the blacks on the column on the right in the shadow, but basically very smooth looking.

Interestingly, I was able to import the quicktime into a Avid 3.05, 720/60 project with no problems. In fact it was pretty fast, about 15 seconds, so about realtime.

So, if one isn't in a huge hurry you could import QT's and save $500 by not buying SxS.
I'm sure mp4 to mxf is faster overall though.

Thanks, Cheers.

That looks good for 8bit 4:2:0.

The new panasonic hv-300 has lot's of sample video(more then 8 so far, that I know of) from a variety of sources to judge camera performance, but I want to see some from the new hd-700. To me it's really hard to grade this camera so far with the 3 current samples available. With all the new features this camera has over my hd-100, I want to buy one but lets see some good video in mp4 samples.

Yesterday I bought my HM 700 with Canon 14x, I like the DOF
and less/nearly nothing CA's. The lens really good centered
when I zoom in, really nice, I love this lens.

>Marcello:
On my shots yesterday no problems like yours,
I think the new Canon will be one of the best lenses
for the HM700. Today a shot on a 12 hours mtb-race
on the shoulder, yesterday a opening-ceremony
Tomorrow one shot in an church.
