JVC GZ-HD7 Camcorder - Camcorder Info
Camcorder Info have published a review of the JVC GZ-HD7 camcorder. 'The JVC GZ-HD7 features three 1/5” CCDs, each featuring a gross pixel count of 570,000 (an approximate effective pixel count of 530,000). The camcorder, like many three-chip models, uses pixel shifting to increase the effective resolution, off-setting one of the chips by a half a pixel’s X and Y axes. In this case, the recorded image resolution is approximately 2032 x 1116, or an effective resolution of 1952 x 1096. Each pixel on the CCDs measures 3.28 x 2.28 microns, approximately two times the sizes of JVC’s 2MP standard definition GZ-MG77. And now what you’ve all been waiting for… let’s take a look at the GZ-HD7’s performance. Overall, we have come to one conclusion: this JVC MPEG-2 transport stream is not as good as the best HDV performances. But neither did it suffer the worst parts of the AVCHD camcorders, which is the trailing and noise issues. The JVC GZ-HD7 is the middle ground.'
