First HDTV Camcorder

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the crispy-clear-baby-videos dept.

zymano writes "The JVC GR-HD1 will be introduced in May, it's the world's first consumer camcorder to offer 750 line resolution progressive video at 30 frames per second, recording MPEG2 video to MiniDV tape. The price will start around $2500-$3500 . Some more info here with pictures. Also check out the pro version. With digital cameras at regular stores with resolution over 5 megapixel it makes you wonder why it took so long to produce."

    obviously adult film would be interested. they can now produce high quality HD porn for about the same cost as standard video. porn is one of the single largest drivers of technology.
