JVC GZ-HM400 HD Everio Memory Camera Camcorder
JVC offers up the GZ-HM400 HD Everio Memory Camera as a high-end consumer camcorder with a number of bells and whistles. As the name implies, the camera features 1920 x 1080 AVCHD recording along with a myriad of other recording options.
The HM400 provides 32GB of built-in flash memory storage and the option to record to SD/SDHC memory cards. Capturing all those high definition video and 9MP still images would be the impressive 10.3MP CMOS sensor, while a slightly larger than normal 2.8" LCD gives you room to compose and playback. The Konica Minolta HD lens with 15x Dynamic zoom and Optical Image Stabilization round out the primary features and functions.
Looking at the camcorder a little closer reveals considerations that allow for higher quality recording and control, whether you're an aspiring film-maker or you simply value options. First off, there's JVC's proprietary K2 Technology which restores audio details lost during compression. When it comes to manual adjustments the multi-function dial enables user control of brightness and focus while the direct control buttons give you easy access to Aperture Priority, Shutter Speed, and user-assignable operations. Other indispensable functions include an accessory shoe, the option to attach wide-angle or telephoto conversion lenses, and the microphone in and headphone out connections.
Finally, a number convenience features help to get the most out of your video and still images without worry. There's Ultra-Slow Motion Playback, simultaneous video and 5.3MP still capture, Face Detection, and Laser Touch Operation controls to name just a few. And when you're ready to share or store your footage the HM400 has plenty of options for that too. One Touch Upload allows for simply transfer of videos to YouTube, while One Touch Export allows for easy export of your videos to iTunes for playback on your iPod or iPhone. There's also One Touch DVD creation when connected to the optional JVC SHARE STATION.

Long story short - so long as there is adequate light, this camcorder makes gorgeous videos. They are significantly sharper than my Sony SR12 and Canon HF100 - not even close!The laser control is fine once you realize you don't have to stroke it - there are 4 sensors, just press a lower one to scroll down and vice versa. I don't miss the 24 and 30 FPS progressive modes. They never impressed me on my Canon HF100. Battery life is GREAT on this unit - lasts for hours it seems. Size and weight is fine - in line with others. Forget videos in less than good light (fluorescent light in a kitchen is fine), a dim living room makes for very noisy grainy result. But, realistically, who really expect to record hi-res video in dim light? The auto white balance, for some reason, likes to go to bluish occasionally. Don't know why but I haven't experienced it in outside videos. I like animal and nature recording and for that, this thing is great! The endless detail is very impressive. I would actually say that this is the first HD camcorder I've had (out of 6), that actually RECORDS all 1920 lines of resolution. Most of the others peeter out at about 1250 lines. Another cool thing this unit does, is output 1080P through HDMI. It does it extremely well too - no combing or other artifacts. External Mike input is welcome also. The built in one has good sound quality but is very sensitive to background noise and wind. I got mine set to -2 and that seems to give the best result. As usual, B&H pricing was very competitive [...]

I purchased the GZ-HM400 from B&H as a camera for filming family events, concerts, and other home videos. The camera is solidly constructed and has a nice hand strap. The outdoor/bright light video quality is impressive however the low light video quality is very poor. By low light, I don't mean darkness, anything less than a darkened performance hall is subject to intense amounts of video noise, similar to camera phone video. I ended up returning the JVC and purchasing a Panasonic HDC-TM300K which has much better low light handling.

Comments about JVC GZ-HM400 HD Everio Memory Camera Camcorder:
There are a number of items that you should be aware of before purchasing this camera. I am not a professional but enjoy recording and editing video on a regular basis. I purchased this camera about 1.5 months ago and have recorded about 10 hours of video and have decided to stop using this as my main v-camera. Going back to my GZ-HD6U even though it is older.
The good:
1. it has manual buttons dedicated to focus, brightness, aperture, shutter and one user select.
2. Batteries last much longer than on HDD cameras
3. Light weight.
4. Image stabilization is good.
The bad:
1. Manual white balance either does not work or was poorly engineered. I use a calibration target and the camera still has horrible color in many indoor settings.
2. The accessory shoe will not work with any attachment unless you use JVC's cheap plastic adapter which increases the accessory height about 1.5 inches from a normal shoe. Makes it difficult for carrying in camera bags.
3. The tripod mounting screw is located at the back of the camera resulting in an unbalanced stance when mounted to a tripod, especially if you use an add-on wide angle or telephoto lens. In addition the mounting screw is so far back that when mounted to a tripod the battery release button is completely covered. There is no way to change the battery without unscrewing from tripod.
4. If you are using Apple's iMovie or FCE you will not be able to read the video files from a stored location on your computer or hard drive for later editing, you must Log and Transfer direct from the camera.
5. Aperture only goes to 2.8 vs. 1.8 on the GZ-HD6U. This is the reason for the bad low light ability.
6. The camera only shoots in interlace. I knew this before purchasing and thought it would not make that big of a difference but I definitely prefer shooting in 1080p rather than converting later.
I was looking forward to using this camera especially after purchasing it for the discounted price but I am very disappointed with the end product. It is a shame JVC fell short on the items above because it would be a great camera otherwise. Not sure why JVC changed these features for the worse when they had it right for the HD7 & HD6 cameras.
I am now back to shooting video on my 3 year old GZ-HD6U where none of the issues above exist.

Comments about JVC GZ-HM400 HD Everio Memory Camera Camcorder:
I am an amateur but seriously commited movie maker. I bought this camera to be my default camera for every movie, and I was indeed surprized with it. Though it is not for professional video, it is something between a pro and an amateur camera, for its got a compact size, but more resources than an amateur one. I can easily control the light, the shooting speed and the white balance, the focus can be switched to manual and the zoom is more precise than those small sticks that come in the small cameras.
Those were the first impressions, along with a not very long lasting battery pack, but I still have a lot to discover from this camera.

I use this camera for my personal film projects along with my final film project for high school. The definition on this camera is incredible! The amount of different features on this camera is incredible. For this price I'm suprised at how good it acctually is.

Comments about JVC GZ-HM400 HD Everio Memory Camera Camcorder:
I purchased this video camera a few weeks ago and the image is extremely impressive for such a low price. What amazed me even more however, we're the quality of the still pictures (9 megapixels). One of my favorite features of this camera is this camera is the ability to shoot at 600fps (although the quality is drastically decreased). However, it does not handle low-light images very well. The small wheel on the front which allows you to manually adjust brightness and focus did not meet my expectations.

I researched camcords for a week and found this camera to be a best buy, especially with an instant rebate of $250.I purchased this camcorder specifically for our 2010 vacation. The camcorder is everything the others reviews say it is; poor in low light, but great otherwise. I've used the HD recording and photos and have been extremely satisfied.The camcorder works great for long distance shooting, close-up shooting, fast motion recording, etc. This camcord has captured our vacation memories very clearly and did a great job.

Comments about JVC GZ-HM400 HD Everio Memory Camera Camcorder:
The camera's best quality overall is that it is the perfect balance between being a high quality videography machine and a portable size. It can comfortably handle most features that much larger and more expensive cameras can and yet this one is convinent enough that you can take it with you.
So far my only disappointment is that it's high speed recording feature diminishes video quality, but that just means I will have to simply use the computer to slow it down.
And the colors! This is the first camera I've seen that enhances anything it's filming to look more beautiful than the naked eye.

I bought this camera highly recommended. I've not used it enough to make comments on its effectivness, but the discount and the dvd burner that came along with it, made the choice a no-brainer for me. I'm looking forward to using it more. Four stars only because I've not used it enough. I am presently a casual user but am entering into doing more video production stuff. I really like the size for what I need it for.

This camera is absolutely amazing. And at a wonderful $400 dollars off from B&H. I wasn't sure about it at first, but the performance out of the box was great. Not the best quality in low light, but rather crispy with adequate lighting. The cold shoe and 46mm lens make attaching lenses and microphones possible, wich is a major plus.

Comments about JVC GZ-HM400 HD Everio Memory Camera Camcorder:
I recently bought this camera to do some full HD shooting for promos and commercials. I read some reviews for it and it looked good. [...] I tried it out and the quality was amazing! Nothing short of what it says as advertised. Along with this camera I bought a Audio - Technica ATR6550 shotgun microphone. This increases sound quality tremendously. This camera surpasses all other cameras that I have had in the past and it has very high quality and resolution pictures.
