I have the GZ MG-505, which is a similar camera with a 30gb HD. One thing to be aware of with that JVC/Victor GZ-HD7.......Victor is a JVC company, most all Victor products ship directly from Japan just like it says in that listing you linked to. What you are going to find is that the menus and info that appears on the screen can be switched to english, but you will have to navigate through by trial and error, unless you read Japanese, to find the proper menu function to change to english, and all markings and printing on the body of the camera, i.e. power switch, menu buttons, flash button, port descriptions etc. are all going to be in Japanese. So unless you read Japanese you will have to experiment by trial and error, then memorize what buttons do what, and what ports perform what functions. I like the second link, higher end camera, more for professional use, good price, my only concern would be the "used" factor, and the seller only having 4 feedback. I would contact that seller and request additional, more detailed close up images of the LCD screen, the bottom of the camera where the tripod connects. Good, close up images of those areas will give you a better indication of actual use time.  |
