HD Camcorder recs?
- Thread starter SkaredShtles
- Start date
Hmmm... so still looking half-heartedly...
IH8Rice - I think I'm going to get a standard def instead of HD. Any recommendations in the JVC arena for good std def camcorders?

honestly, i would still stick with a HD cam. we just lowered our prices for all of our cams, so retail for our entry level HDD HD cam is now $599 (street price from $539 and up.)
we have a dual SDHC card based cam that is around $579 retail.
if you do want to go SD, look at the GZMG670 (http://camcorder.jvc.com/product.jsp?modelId=MODL028525&pathId=119&page=10) or the GZMG680 (http://camcorder.jvc.com/product.jsp?modelId=MODL028499&pathId=119&page=10).
both cams will upconvert SD video into a 1080p output for viewing on HD tv's. they are both identical to each other, but the MG680 has a 120gb HDD over the MG670's 80gb HDD.
the 120gb HDD can hold up to 28hrs and 40mins on the highest quality setting versus 19hrs for the 80gb HDD.
the MG670 should be around $386 street price and the MG680 should be around $430

Goddammit. You're not making this any easier. 
for $386, the MG670 isnt a bad deal. it takes good video and upconverts to 1080p. plus it has a microsd card slot as well.Goddammit. You're not making this any easier.
19hrs is more then enough for 95% of the consumer camcorder customers. the quality can also be stepped down to hold up to 100hrs of "internet" quality video.
it doesnt take great stills (832x624,) but then again, its not a camera. it does hold 9999 pics tho.
the 35x optical zoom is class leading too

sorry buddy, missed your PM about this.
yes, that is a steal for that cam and actually shouldnt be listed on the internet for that much.
whered you see it?
Costco of all places... I think I'll grab one.
yeah that is a good price for that model. we didnt officially move the retail price on that model so a lot of dealers have been creating their own discounts for that piece.Costco of all places... I think I'll grab one.
the new software is kind of lame, but i can send you the software from last year's cams which is loads better
Awesome... I'll take the good old software...
So I got one. Shoot me the "good" software when you have a chance!
pm me your address and ill send it out
