JVC updates the GY-HD100U HDV camcorder this month with the release of the GY-HD110U, which replicates the older camera’s design but adds new features including a black-and-white viewfinder mode, the ability to use the viewfinder and LCD display simultaneously, adjustable focus-assist settings, and a menu setting for turning digital noise reduction on and off.
Here’s JVC’s complete list of new features:
Black and white viewfinder display mode
Simultaneous use of both eyepiece viewfinder and tri-mode LCD display when powered by Anton Bauer or IDX battery system
Selectable mirror mode on vertically flipped LCD display
Adjustable setting of FOCUS ASSIST function
Choice of three image formats on composite out (letterbox, squeeze, side cut)
User selectable DNR ON/OFF menu setting
13 segment audio level indicator
Manual audio control within FAS (Full Auto Shooting) mode
Audio limiter available in manual mode
Parallel power off management of DR-HD100 hard disk recorder
The camera is scheduled to be available in “mid July,” so expect to see it soon. The list price is $6295, the same as the HD100U at introduction. More info: pro.jvc.com
