JVC Everio GZ-HD10US
$800.00
Released January, 2008
The Pros:User friendly enough to work out all the functions in a short time. Fairly light and well balanced, feels comfortable to work with. Video is recorded sharply and clearly enough to look good on a large-screen HDTV.
The Cons:Anti-shake technology doesn't work well, need a steady hand. Battery life is pretty short, won't get much more than an hour out of it. Support for the AVCHD format isn't that widespread, won't work with everything.
The JVC Everio GZ0HD10US is a hard-disk-based HD camcorder that supports AVCHD along with normal MPEG-2 formats. Integrated into the camcorder is a state of the art CMOS chip - a 1/3-inch, 2.6-megapixel version which is unusual given the fact that JVC usually uses low-resolution CCDs.

The JVC Everio GZ0HD10US includes FireWire (i.Link) interfaces, which is not available on some of the up and coming camcorders, and is used for dealing with the MPEG-2's HDV-compatible data stream. It has 1920x1080 / 60P output, meaning that when the video is played on a TV that accepts 1080P input the end result is high quality, with the jagged diagonals resulting from interlace images smoothed out and unnoticeable.
