Also, if you’re trying to get that film look, you could easily buy a 35mm adapter for the JVC. Much like this one. It will give you incredible depth.

agree. CCD sounds important to you…HM700 is very good. Just not in low light…

Phil,

Looking to purchase a new camera for corporate work – I am thinking about the HM700 with canon lens and a litepanels micropro led onboard camera light.

What would you recommendation be – would the HM700 still be a good choice. I will be doing PR work and press conferences so need a CCD lens due to these blasted photographers and their flash guns !

Cheers from Scotland

Hi Phil,
I Love your footage on the demo, a couple of questions.

1/ would you think this camera is up to shooting a TV ad?
2/ Which Lens, filters etc did you use on the demo?

PS I have one already I just want to get the most out of it.

regards

Marc Edwards

Great video… learned a lot… on the JVC 700 I wanted to know what setting you used to shoot the footages. I use the JVC 700 right now, but for news (so 60p on 1080×720). I have been trying to figure out the best setting to be on to get that film look, but haven’t been able to find the right setting combinations to make it work, whether if it’s frame rate, shutter speed, etc. I messed with the variable frame rate, but still couldn’t get the look that you had with your footages.

Also, it seems as though I can’t get sound when I use the variable frame rate setting. Is there a remedy for that or you have surrender the audio when shooting in variable frame rate? thank you.

Hi Phil, could you please explain further why the Canon 14x is more superior compared to the 16x Fujinon? Thanks!
