JVC GR-X5 DV Cam Review

Finally we're seeing more competition in the sub-$1000 space for 3CCD DV cams. JVC comes after the Panasonic line with a camcorder aimed sqarely at the PV-GS400. Three 1/4.5-inch CCDs make this a solid contender. CamcorderInfo.com has the scoop with an indepth review of the JVC GR-X5. It's not available yet and online prices are currently hovering just above $1000, but expect the launch to result in prices of $999 or less.

From the review, "Old adages hold true for a reason. Take, for example, the axiom of “don’t judge a book by its cover.” We’ve come to expect that camcorders making a sharp turn away from convention tend to be all show and no substance. This could not have been less true for JVC’s GR-X5U. Test after test proved it to hold up to the stiffest competition, with an exceptional showing in video performance, still performance and low light. Prepare to be impressed; the GR-DX5 is going to be one of the best camcorders of the year."
