The HVR-V1 3-CMOS camcorder offers both 1080 progressive and interlace capture. It can shoot in 60i, 30p, and also the very popular 24p, for film-style recording. The progressive signal is “packaged” into a 60i “stream,” meaning the final output is interlaced, while retaining the progressive look. This makes it easier for consumers with older televisions to watch the video without any problems. This is known as 3:2 pulldown. The VI is similar to the FX7, but has far more professional-style controls.
JVC
The professional JVC HDV/ProHD camcorders, including the HD110 ($6,550), offer 720p recording and the ability to switch lenses. The HD110 can record in 30p, 25p, and 24p while in HDV mode and 60p, 50p, 24p, and 60i in DV mode.
Canon
As described earlier, the Canon XH Gl ($6,999) is very similar to the XH Al and the higher-end XL HI, except like the HI, it offers HD SDI, Genlock, and Time Code output, known as the Professional Jackpack.
