JVC GZ-HM400U High Definition Video Camera

 

I requested the JVC GZ-HM400U because it has a sensor with a high pixel count, thinking that perhaps this would result in higher quality video, and I guessed right. Its sharpness value is as about as good as it gets, and is the best we have seen so...

JVC Everio GZ-HM400 Camcorder Review

 

The GZ-HM400 ($999 MSRP) is the larger, more sophisticated cousin model to the JVC GZ-X900. While both camcorders have similar imaging specifications, the GZ-HM400 is packed with extra controls, 32GB of internal memory, and a splendid adjustment dial...

We were pleasantly surprised by how much of an improvement the JVC GZ-HM400 was over the GZ-X900. Both camcorders have the same price tag ($999 MSRP), so it is a no-brainer that the GZ-HM400 is the better buy. The HM400 has more features and better...

JVC GZ-HM400 HD Camcorder Review

 

The JVC GZ-HM400 is a handy little HD hard drive camera with tons of bells and whistles for its size.

Review: JVC Everio GZ-HM400

 

Designed to sit at the top of JVC's Everio camcorder line, the GZ-HM400 should give its rivals a run for their money.

When it’s time to start shooting, things get off to a slightly shaky start, unfortunately. The chunky body has a curious dip on the right side, which makes holding it uncomfortable. JVC also continues to use its Laser Touch system, which forces you to...

JVC GZ-HM400

 

Extra controls, 32GB of memory, and an adjustment dial that puts JVC's Laser Touch to shame

Excellent sharpness and motion; Good set of manual controls; Plenty of features

Low light results improved but still weak

The Everio GZ-HM400 camcorder is an impressive return to the high-end for JVC.

The JVC Everio GZ-HM400 is an impressive return to the high-end for JVC after a year of absence. The level and ease of control is on par with the best of the competition, providing ample settings for the creative video enthusiast. The sub-£700 price is...

JVC Everio GZ-HM400 review

 

Like the Canon HF S10, the JVC Everio GZ-HM400 can shoot 1,920 x 1,080 video at 24Mbps - the highest level possible under current AVCHD spec - and it includes 32GB of internal flash memory, plus lots of manual controls. It also has a 10x optical zoom...

JVC GZ-HM400 camcorder review

 

An ok HD camcorder, but pricey considering its features sometimes come up short

Great shots in decent conditions, slow motion looks cool

Narrow lens, not great in low light
