I’m looking to buy one of the two JVC HD camcorders with built-in 60GB Hard Drives.
There’s the HD3 which records at 1440×1080i and then there’s the HD7US which records at 1920×1080i. That’s the main difference. There’s also the lens which is a Fujinon on the higher resolution and a Konica/Minolta lens on the lower one. I know the Fujinon is a better quality lens than Konica.
But my main question is, with a price difference of $400, will there be a significant difference between the two when I view it on my 42″ Plasma TV? Which is capable of viewing 1080i.
And what am I losing by buying the cheaper HD3 instead of HD7? Will I be able to tell the difference?
Info is much appreciated! Also, if there is a better 3CCD HDD or Mini-DV High-Def camcorder (without spending over $1300), let me know! I want to see all my options before buying. Thank you in advance!

Well you’ll lose some detail in the background with the1440 x 1080….>>>
But who watches tree trunks when your wife and kids are in the picture?

That camera should LAST YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS…..

You be stuck with it for a LONG LONG TIME….

Hopefully it’s NOT made in China….
Let’s see…..400 divided by 10 is 40…..400 divided by 20 years is 20 dollars per year….
Doesn’t sound like THAT much more to me….
