Introduction
The camcorder world is moving into the high-def column of the video ledger. At the January Consumer Electronics Show, a flotilla of high-def models were launched and they’re slowly coming to the proverbial store near you—including the new JVC GZ-HD6. This $1,399 USD camcorder is a far cry from the crappy MPEG-4 video makers readily available for a 100 clams. Although barely good enough for a YouTube opus, people buy them because they’re cheap—what a shock! However, if you’re in any way serious about saving memories with a modicum of quality, high definition is the way to go although it will definitely put a dent in your wallet. I’ve used many HD camcorders and still get a thrill when playing back footage on a wide screen HDTV (what can I say? I need a life!) That confession on the table, I was happy to receive the 2008 JVC Everio and watch recordings on my new Panasonic 50-inch 1080p plasma HDTV. How did they look?
