  • Reasonable image quality, Choice of AVCHD or MPEG2 TS video, Plenty of manual settings, Headphone and microphone jacks, LED lamp
  • Image stabilization could be better, Joystick too small, No 5.1 sound, Wide angle lens very weak, Bundled software limited

  • The JVC Everio GZ-HD40 isnt a bad HD camcorder - in fact, its pretty good. People seeking a tapeless camcorder that they can use with a modest PC today and a more powerful computer in the future may find the GZ-HD40s multiple recording formats comp...

  • Assez bonne qualité des images, Vidéo en AVCHD ou MPeg2 TS, Nombreux réglages manuels disponibles, Présence d'une prise casque et micro, Présence d'une torche LED
  • Stabilisation perfectible, Joystick de navigation petit et peu pratique, Pas d'enregistrement au format 5.1, Pas de véritable grand angle, Logiciel livré assez limité
  • Probablement le meilleur caméscope Full HD proposé par JVC. La qualité des images est en progrès et le GZ-HD40 offre de nombreuses fonctionnalités qui devraient séduire le vidéaste exigeant. La stabilisation numériq...

  • tolle Videoqualität, unterstützt zwei verschiedene HD-Formate, viele manuelle Einstellungsmöglichkeiten
  • kein optischer Bildstabilisator, verwirrendes Menüsystem, einige Design-Macken
  • Der JVC GZ-HD40 ist ein flexibler Full-HD-Camcorder, der eine ausgezeichnete Videoqualität liefert. Er lässt dem Kameramann bei den Videoeinstellungen viel Freiraum für Kreativität. Allerdings trüben das komplizierte Menüsystem und das Fehlen eines opt...
