Rumours
 

Has anyone heard any rumours about a new shoulder mount camera with CMOS chips?

I'd like to find something like that under the tree!

Interesting rumor, Scott.

If it has the same light body design as the HM-700s and records in at least 50mbps, 4:2:2, then JVC could have a winner. I'm sure it'd still have 1/3" chips. But can SDHC cards reliably handle 50mbps video?

Re: Rumours
 

Yes Craig, it would be very interesting...a 700 style camera with HM600 chips...F11 sensitivity...422 colour...yes, very interesting;-)

Re: Rumours
 

Great questions!

Re: Rumours
 

You tease! :)

Re: Rumours
 

Remember that JVC bought a chip manufacturer recently...

Re: Rumours
 

If you come in with something like that, and I can use it in a studio configuration like the 250s or the 790s I will take 3 please

Re: Rumours
 

Very interesting indeed. And another smaller model with large sensor as well, please…and a great inbuilt codec. Then I would go all JVC. I love my HM750 with the Fujinon HTs18X. It is a great combination and will stay with me for many years to come.

I have recently sold one of my EX1Rs and my FS100 because of it. I also have the JVC PL- adaptor and that will stay with me as well. Great package but not so great for traveling light and small.

Still just -

One of my favorite LPs. Not rummaging through my vinyls collection, were you?...

Re: Rumours
 

I am really hoping JVC will bring out a new shoulder mount camera with 1/3 inch CMOS sensor and 50mbps so that I may continue to use my Fujinon lens and PL- adaptor. As a multi cam company I am in the market for a second HM750 and it would be a bit of a bummer if JVC released a new camera the next day after my purchase.

Re: Rumours
 

My 2 cents is NEVER buy a camera before NAB unless you NEED one immediately...

Re: Rumours
 

What if a camcorder debuts before NAB and meets your needs? Just an example, mind you, but that didn't stop the BBC from purchasing the GY-HM650.

Re: Rumours
 

I PERSONALLY consider the debut of the HM6xx series as being the NAB where it was HAND CARRIED FROM JAPAN as a prototype so my assertion stands! ;)
