JVC Everio GZ-HD6
JVC have just given us another beauty in the world of camcorder heaven; behold the JVC Everio GZ-HD6 the new HDD-recording camcorder which will output to 1080p with ease.

This is something special without a doubt, the JVC Everio GZ-HD6 camcorder can output video at cool 1080/60p pace, this is the small successor to last year’s HD7 and this HD6 has the same 3-CCD full HD sensor system but comes with a 10x optical zoom lens.

It also comes with a 120GB hard drive and can store about 10 hours of max-resolution video, oh yes and shooting to SDHC cards as well.

Now for the brilliant side of things you must think about the HD6 and its conversion engine because despite recording in MPEG 2 1080i this camera will use a conversion engine to fire out a 1080/60p signal through HDMI to your HDTV and according to JVC this is the first in fact a worlds first.

If you like the JVC Everio GZ-HD6 and you feel you have fallen in love then I am afraid you will have to wait mid-February to buy in Japan and also spend some cool cash because this will set you back ¥170,000 ($1,600) on the HD6 or ¥150,000 ($1,400) on its 60GB sibling, the HD5.

    Average US consumer here, looking for a new camera to enter the digital video/YouTube realm. Currently shooting with a (yes, it’s true) Sony Mavica. I’ve been spec’ing the JVC since January, and must say I am impressed with what I read. The price has dropped considerably since then. Today (21MAR08) I saw one online at cameras.com for $679. (Brits/Euros - do the math!) My plan is to get a basic kit and a wireless lav system, and then go into production. If anyone has shot with this beastie, I’d be grateful for your opinion. Many thanks! -DH
