   Disclaimer: I don’t own this product and this is not really a product review. I gave it a 4 star rating because that is the average rating on this product at this time.

   I looked at this camcorder at a local store yesterday. I couldn’t figure out how I can take a still picture while shooting a video (simultaneously) using this device. Most high-end cameras and camcorders have that feature these days and I use it a lot with my camera. I don’t think that feature is supported by this camcorder, but if you disagree with my observation, please post a comment to this message.

   The biggest problem I have with these articles, reviews and even the manual is that important things are missing. Is the Mic in jack mono or stereo? what is it’s low light capability? What video editing apps is it compatible with? What kind of image stabilization does it use? gyroscopic prisms or the cheap method used in most consumer camcorders? Battery life? does it last the full 5 hours that you can record? resolution of the viewfinder and flip out monitor, can you see clear enough to focus? will it take an external monitor during recording? will it stream the video out the firewire connection so I can use some pro laptop utilities to see a larger monitor as as well as a scope and other items when recording?

   Lots of information missing for a camera that is trying to be sold as a higher end pro-sumer level camera.

   Right now I will take a wait and see approach towards JVC’s offering. All the research I’ve done indicates that the GZ-HD7 can only output the video in MPEG2 mode. This is great if you never do any video editing, other than time splices, on your computer.

   One has to wonder how the video quality will hold up, compared to HDV (1080×1440), once the video stream is decompressed for editing then recompressed back to MPEG-2.

   Most of the time you read some negative feed about products and I believe they usually comes from people that don’t know noting about what they are buying and just buy the product just to have it. Thats not good for others that are looking to buy something. So is good to have professional people who knows what they are looking for and given us poseitve feed about the product. So please, if your not an expierence person don’t leave any negative comments on product you don’t know how to work it.
   
   Thank you
