Ergonomics and Other Things: Comparing My 2 JVC Camcorders
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2024
- Early in the summer I upgraded the camcorder I use to make my videos from an HD one (JVC GY-HM100U) to a 4K camcorder (JVC GY-HM250U).
There is quite a bit of difference between the two camcorders besides just the video resolution. The ergonomics of the newer camcorder is significantly enhanced but, interestingly enough, not every change was an improvement.
This video compares the two camcorders, and covers features of professional camcorders that one should consider not only when purchasing either of these ones, but also when looking at the camcorders from the other major brands such as Canon, Sony and Panasonic.
Unlike many camcorder review videos, I have placed more emphasis on features of the devices rather than presenting video clips showing what pretty movies the camcorder can make.

Same comment as the lady video. I personally have no use for this information, but i love to learn no matter if it pertains to me or not. 👍 As a chuld i always heard Knowledge is Power.
:) I watch so much on RUclips for exactly the same reason!
Good cameras, very interesting comparison. I've not owned a dedicated camcorder since the rather poor VHS-C one I had in the 90's! I do some photography but little videography, if I need some high quality video I can use my Canon 5D MkIII 😊
Thanks! Its a world of difference since then. In fairness, the VHS ones were all consumer oriented with limited controls and features. Just looked up the Canon 5D MkIII - like my Nikon, I sure it outperforms the camcorders in terms of light sensitivity. We are so lucky to have that sort of capability built in to almost every camera and phone these days!
👍👍
Thanks!
Thank you for your practical explanation which I find very useful. You must be very professional.
Thank you! Glad you found it of use!
@@ElectromagneticVideos I mean you are professional in many fields.
@@user-rk3pb9gq9c Thanks!
Lots of great information and nice cameras. I still use my Panasonic Lumix at the bench and cell phone outside typically. I will Need to upgrade eventually as the channel grows. I have been told I need an audio upgrade for sure...
Thanks! I have heard great things about the Panasonic Lumix - I gather it has a lot of video specific features. Audio - something I struggle with - so far, only the headset microphone works for me due to the echoy acoustics of my workroom and the noise from around the house. Outside, the street noise is a real problem for me - even with the headset mic, if a really noisy vehicle goes by I have to redo the shot. I wish the headset mic had a bit less muffled sound. I tried a lav mic but with all the movement I do while doing experiments or building things, it often rubbed against my shirt making the audio unusable. I envy the youtubers who are talking heads and don't have all these issues!

I know what you mean. Some on YT make it sounds so good it makes it seem easy. I have had the same issue with some wires running down my side (under my arm) the braided type cloth covering over the wires made noise so I bought a rubber insulated cable. It was ribbed long ways and it was the nosiest I have ever had. Lol. Your video and audio have always seemed very good to me.
@@ThriftyToolShed Yes! It think a lot it is simply because of the type of videos we you and I make which in the end makes audio hard at the best of times.
Do you record your audio on a separate device? I did for this video - syncing turned out to be a nuisance since apparently the clock on the phone is a bit off from the clock on the audio recorder. I normally use a wireless between camera and mic - my cable problem was I was always close to pulling the tripod over when I had to move to adjust something on the experiment I was videoing. And yes same audio wire noise - wire itself making a noise when it moved.
I have done production work with real TV years ago - way easier when you are a cameraman with headphones on to hear any audio issues as they occur.
Your comment about my video and audio is a real compliment! The lighting in my work area is not great since it is almost all from the ceiling. Recently put a number of fluorescent lamps on tripods to fill in some light from below. Still not studio quality though :)

I do find the quality is better when I do record audio separately, but for me it's definitely the edited that is harder then. When more than one take (sometimes it seems I have 20) it is so hard to start/stop both at the same time. I easily get out of sync when editing. I guess it's easier to leave the dead space in if I can. I use Davinci Resolve for editing and I am working through some lag issues that are heavily hurting my productivity editing. I think one thing I have been really messing up about is the audio. So I have been using the noise reduction on my inserted audio files while it's still almost full size to attach the effects of noise reduction at one time. Now I realize that every edit after that is really working the processor and so laggy it's hard to edit. I have noticed it is much better if I don't add the noise reduction until after. All this time I thought the audio was not much load on the computer, but it seems I was wrong. I know the video effects were difficult. Seems like it's reprocessing the effect every trim and edit. Rendering temp files can get upward to 80GB Kinda crazy! I am learning Davinci Resolve. It's powerful, but it's a lot more to it than I had imagined.
@@ThriftyToolShed Interesting! "sometimes it seems I have 20 [takes]" - ohh - I sure know that feeling :(
Davinci Resolve - It was one that I did seriously consider when starting my RUclips channel. In the end In the end I went with Kdenlive (open source). Its far from perfect too - have had a number bug and crash issues in the past but they seem to made considerable bug-fixing progress in the last year. I was somewhat disenchanted with paid video editors after having purchased Adobe Premier only to have them switch to an annual licensing model a few years later - and Kdenlve is similar in concept to Premier (then again they all probably are). For Kdenlve the video rendering is slow. Sometime I may update my video card and try GPU rendering but I have already spent way too much on this stuff this year!
Depth of field is set by changing aperture size
Yes! Another reason why its nice to have and an easily accessible iris control knob on the newer camcorder.
Was thinking a bit about this today. Maybe a bit of clarification is needed for anyone reading this:
1) As @uvx508 said, depth of field is set by changing aperture size. (I will add to that, large aperture/open iris is represented by small F numbers like F2. Small aperture/tiny iris opening is represented by large F numbers like F22. Large apertures like F2 have a narrower depth of field than small ones like F22.
2) If you have a smaller sensor, with a proportionally adjusted lens focal length so that the picture taken with the smaller sensor is identical to the one from the larger sensor and use the same F number (aperture size) with both systems, the smaller sensor will have a larger depth of field.
Or more simply, if you have two cameras with about the same light sensitivity, photograph the same subject area with them, and use the same F stop, the smaller sensor camera will have a greater depth of field.
