I’m a huge fan of the JVC HDD based camcorders, and I have recently got one for myself (to film my little baby crying, because that is all she does). The people over at Digital Trends have done a great review on the new JVC Everio GZ-HD3. They have said “you’ll love the five hours of storage, nice ergonomics and pretty HD video”, giving the camera a good 7.5/10. Can’t wait for these things to get 100GB HDD’s up.

For the whole review, click over to the Digital Trends Website.

JVC LCDJVC Australia announced on the 24Th of this month (September for people who don’t get out much) 2 brand spanking new True HD LCD’s. The 2 flavours are LT-46FZD7 which is a 46-inch and the smaller LT-42FZD7 being a 42-inch.
Both screen include a DVB-T Tuner, with the best part being their resolutions of 1920 x1080. Other features include a response of 10ms, viewing angle of 178/178 (degrees), brightness of 500cd/m2, Picture-In-Picture (PIP), 2 x 10w inbuilt speakers and 2 HDMI inputs. One thing I question, that hopefully one of my faithful readers (sorry I should have said my 1 faithful reader) can answer is why only a contrast ratio of 1:1500? Doesn’t the new ViewSonic’s have a 1:2000?
They are set for an October release and priced at $AU4399 for the LT-46FZD7 and $AU3599 for the LT-42FZD7. If the nice people at JVC get this and feel like sending me a free one (either is good), I will accept willingly.
