DVshop's First Impressions on JVC HD-100U Camera 

First Impressions on JVC HD-100U Camera

They got theirs and started to play with it.

They thought the honest 24p mode of this camera looked better than the CineFrame on the Sony HDV cameras, but the Sony cameras did better in low light. No full auto more - "This is not the type of camera you can hand to a novice, tell them to
keep it in Auto, and have them produce good results. You got to know what you're doing to use this camera."

Lots more observations and details in their write up.

Looks promising as a camera. But you'll have to get some extra software to get that 24p goodness into FCP - 720p24 is NOT innately supported in Final Cut Pro. Lumiere HD was showing some stuff at NAB to get it into FCP, however, so I'm looking forward to that.

Comments:
All signs point to 24P support in almost ANY NLE being not-so-serious a matter.

I've been told from somebody who knows the more tech issues involved that it's very likely Apple will be on top of this with an update pronto.
 
I would expect an FCP update to time with IBC adding JVC support
 
Thanks Mike for the article. Have not been able to find any info or review on this camera.
 
EXCELLENT! Great info as always, Mike!

mexica, I've posted several links to HD-100 hands-on reviews at FresHDV over the past few weeks. Here are direct links to the those reviews:

Does anybody know if there will be support for this coming up in Adobe Premiere Pro?
