The GZ-HD7 utilizes a lens designed for high definition by FUJINON. FUJINON is the leader in professional camera lens for live HD images. This lens features 3 aspherical elements and provides nearly the same brightness (F1.8-1.9) throughout its zoom range. In addition, the lens surface is coated with a new Electronic Beam Coating (EBC) that greatly reduces degradation caused by light reflecting off the lens surfaces, leading to greater light transmission and reduced flaring and ghosting.

The JVC GZ-HD7 Provides effective camera-shake compensation while utilizing the maximum CCD pixel count to achieve 1920x1080 resolution.AND its battery(BN-VF823 battery) can supply powetful energy,approximately 400 images or a viewing time of approximately 300 minutes.

I hope the review is useful for some friends who want to buy jvc camera.
