Opinion on the JVC GR-HD1 Camera

^ yeah. i know it aint much of a budget but this cam is 700 and its perfect for me. Im just beginning
 
that camera is not 700$. that site is a scam..i repeat..a HUGE SCAM.

alot of time what sites like that will do is just send you the camera, no lenses chargers batteries or anything..then charge you rediculous amounts to buy those accessories..or other times they are slightly changed in design to dodge patents so the camera you buy might not actually be a JVC and be a pile of shit.

buy from someone on NS, even if it is heath
 
dude. B&H is one of the most legit sites around. You are the first person out of at least 30 other people on NS that had something bad to say about them
 
you've got to be kidding me. B&H is THE only place you should ever buy cameras online

btw, HD1 is wayyy outdated. it was like the first HDV camera.
 
^ its also the only thing in my budget :P

Unless i can get that 500$ one thats apperently being sold in the buy sell and trade forum
 
I would definitely agree. The HD1 was pretty much the first hdv camera. It wasn't anything special really when it came out, other than the fact that it was consumer HD. Now its just really outdated. You're definitely better off going with a camera from the hv series. I've heard nothing but good things about them.
 
yeah but you guys have to understand that I won't be using this camera for much more than skiing and that this would be my first camera ever. Does that change anyhing? or do you still not reccomend it? I'm looking for a camera with decently good colour, I want a handle, And the HD isn't even THAT important to me. so lets be honest. Will this camera suit MY needs?
 
Get over the handle. Stop trying to convince us to convince you to get this camera. Just pick up an hv30 for the same price. You'll be pleased. End of story.
 
If you REALLY need a handle, here's what you can do:

1. Cry...I went through the same phase

2. Searchbar on how to make a homemade one

3. Make a homemade one (put time into it, don't make it shitty)

4. Go out and use it. Chances are you won't even need it but hey, its a cool accessory to take on and off
 
what if the handle is mounted so that the handle goes over the mic giving my hand enoughn room so i'm not interfering with the mic.?
 
DON"T BUY THAT CAMERA!!!! This is what you want!
