JVC GY-HM850CHU ProHD Compact Shoulder Mount Camera

A real camcorder for professional shooting

This camera delivers terrific images without any drama. Sure 35mbps seems low in this era of 200mbps camcorders, but the pixels are very solid and grade-able, and honestly, I'm skeptical about some of those high-megabit claims. Also, this camera shoots in .mov which is so nice to use after struggling with the zillions of specialty codecs from the other manufacturers. Fuji lenses are, of course, the bomb.
