Not all FAT32 is treated the same by these devices&nbsp;and this allows the device to set up it's file structure in the memory card before actual use. In some cases this formatting can catch compatibility problems before you try to put critical data on them.</p> <p>My process has been the following.&nbsp;The only 2 card issues I have ever had was losing the&nbsp;write protect&nbsp;tab (I use SDHC and write&nbsp;protect them when I take them out of the camera. Losing this tab puts it in write protect so you still have access to your data);</p> <p>New card goes in and is formatted immediately.</p> <p>Cards that I copy the data off of go through the same process before reuse once I confirm a valid copy was taken.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/gy-hm100-sdhc-cards#post-69296 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 02:05:13 +0000 Kristof 69296@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I don't think I'm able to get micro center products anywhere near me (Belgium). I did find out that Transcend sells about the same quality, but at half the price (Class 10 32gb for 60 euros). I'm worried about the compatibility though. They should work, but there have been problems in the past and I can't seem to find if they are solved or not.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/gy-hm100-sdhc-cards#post-69259 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 09:35:40 +0000 doublehamm 69259@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>That is a class 6 card.  And more expensive than what I mentioned.    <a href="http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0349730" rel="nofollow">http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0349730</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/gy-hm100-sdhc-cards#post-69255 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 06:27:25 +0000 Kristof 69255@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I want to go with this: </p> <p><a href="http://www.fotokonijnenberg.nl/product/1505878/sandisk-extreme-hd-video-sdhc-16gb-30mbs.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.fotokonijnenberg.nl/product/1505878/sandisk-extreme-hd-video-sdhc-16gb-30mbs.html</a></p> <p>(it's in Dutch, but the title says it I guess)</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/gy-hm100-sdhc-cards#post-69252 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 04:49:04 +0000 doublehamm 69252@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I would definitely go class 10.  Some generics I have had horrid problems with, but I have had great success with the Microcenter brand, and I believe their 32GB class 10 cards are only $50 at the moment.  Do NOT go class 1, it will be way too slow.  </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/gy-hm100-sdhc-cards#post-69247 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 03:13:52 +0000 Kristof 69247@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I'm about to buy a GY HM100, so I'm also looking which SDHC cards to use. I know class 6 is the mininum, but will class 10 also work? Also, I found a website where they sell class 1 HD cards. Would these work?</p> <p>Second; what bitrate should the cards have? I know the camera can go up to 35Mbit/s, which I assume, is when it records in 1080p.

Just got it back and it's on my desk: Some observations-</p> <p>1. The quicktime workflow is the easiest I've ever used. Just drag and drop off the cards, or you can even edit straight off the cards. No capturing or transcoding needed.</p> <p>2. The camera also has an option to record an .mp4 file exactly like XDCAM EX, so you can use it with any of the same workflows, if you aren't on a mac, this is the mode you'd shoot in.</p> <p>3. Just took some shots in full sunlight outside the office. The pictures are very nice, with a larger contrast range than I was expecting. The camera handles highlights very elegantly, but of course blows out white when you get too hot.</p> <p>4. The LCD is a little small both in size and resolution, I wouldn't feel comfortable focusing on this without using the focus assist feature (peaking), it does have a nice option to keep the focus assist color, while making everything else black and white, which really helps you to see what's sharp in frame.</p> <p>5. The viewfinder is not all that great, but I haven't seen a good viewfinder on a camcorder since they stopped using tubes.</p> <p>6. The menu system makes sense and is very easy to navigate.</p> <p>7. Using the small wheel at the back to adjust the iris feels strange to me, though I probably could get used to it over time.</p> <p>8. Our reviewer said that low-light was a problem, but with 1/4" chips this is par for the course.</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-gy-hm100-in-the-house#post-47647 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 09:01:55 +0000 Jennifer O'Rourke 47647@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>haha... our reviewer had some good things to say, I just got the report from him via email.. but he has yet to return the camera.. hum... keeping it over the weekend, perhaps?

Anywho when i got back to the office our very efficient managing editor had already handed the GY-HM100 off to our reviewer, who is out testing it now.I ask you, what's the point of being Editor-in-Chief if you're not first in line to play with all the new toys?</p> <p>So until it returns I'll answer what questions I can, only having my hands on it for a few moments.</p> <p>1) It does have a "built-in" microphone, in addition to the XLR inputs on the handle. So when the handle is removed you still have the on camera mic to use.</p> <p>2) The quicktime codec is based on mpeg2, not AVCHD so it should edit quite smoothly on just about any system. It's long-GOP though which still means a fairly lengthy conform process at the end if you want to go back to mpeg2 for your master.</p> <p>3) It's very solid feeling. It looks like a consumer camcorder but built very tough.</p> <p>4) It's remarkably small, light and tiny.</p> <p>I'll update you all as soon as it get's back to the office.</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-gy-hm100-in-the-house#post-47389 Sun, 31 May 2009 13:12:57 +0000 robGRAUERT 47389@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>can I have it when you're done testing it?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-gy-hm100-in-the-house#post-47383 Sun, 31 May 2009 08:19:05 +0000 fisherman 47383@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Thanks John, eagerly awaiting your report on the questions from the other thread, thanks and have fun testing!! </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-gy-hm100-in-the-house#post-47369 Sat, 30 May 2009 18:53:19 +0000 WhizKid21 47369@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hey John,</p> <p>I'll take you up on that offer for testable questions.

The HD is a usable bonus and will come in handy for aerial and gigs in tight spaces. That's interesting about the 'jello' effect, but I'm not surprised since they haven't put in any image stab yet. You'd have to get a lens that does that (not cheap!) Every thing I've seen video wise was shot on some sort of support, except for one aerial clip (which was awesome!) Never expected it to 'supplant' a dedicated camera rig, just want it for support which is all I would have gotten the JVC for. Since we already have a good selection of EOS lenses, $2,669 is a good deal and it will be easier faking out the authorities by giving them a roll of film than 'horking' up a solid-state card or worse, the camera because we can't pull out a tape.</p> <p>Concerning anything RED, to paraphrase Earl on another post, "I don't have anymore children to sell."</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-new-hd-solid-state-camcorder-gy-hm100#post-43829 Thu, 12 Feb 2009 08:30:23 +0000 robGRAUERT 43829@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> If you'd want a DSLR that shoots video as well, I'd just wait for the RED Scarlet and Epic. </p> <p><a href="http://www.red.com/epic_scarlet/" rel="nofollow">http://www.red.com/epic_scarlet/</a></p> <p>  </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-new-hd-solid-state-camcorder-gy-hm100#post-43815 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 23:57:54 +0000 EarlC 43815@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Don't get THAT much HD video with the 5D (at $3,499 with a lens kit, $2,699 without not really that great a price for a DSLR primary camera with HD video capabilities just another feature built into it) - shooting HD video is limited to about 5 minute continuous shots.</p> <p>Reviews in the January 2009 Videography magazine indicate there are other problems with the CMOS that make shooting the unweildy DSLR body style handheld an unhappy experience, with the "jello effect" and also limited audio input options.</p> <p>Still a lot of obstacles to overcome before either the Nikon D90 ($999.95, $1,299 with an 18-105 mm VR lens, or the Canon supplant a camcorder at any price, brand or recording platform.

For 4k, I want options. Not to mention the price of solid-state cards aren't dropping significantly. It would be different if you weren't getting as good an image on tape. What about all of these kids trying to break into the biz? This stuff's expensive. The whole thrust of the 'Digital Revolution' was that the hardware and software had become affordable. Though the camera would be compatible with our 200UB, I'm thinking we may go with the Canon 5D Mark II. Great images and costs a little more than half of the JVC.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-new-hd-solid-state-camcorder-gy-hm100#post-43806 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 19:17:29 +0000 robGRAUERT 43806@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> ahh...you beat me to it! i was just about to post this news. haha.</p> <p> </p> <p>This is a great camera.
