Une excellente caméra !By Grodo
from Paris on 2010-02-04
Je n'ai hélas pas eu encore le temps de la travailler en toutes conditions mais je peux d'or et déjà dire que c'est une très bonne affaire ! A ce prix, elle permet d'envisager des docus pro en laissant des fonds pour acheter de bons micros car celui qui est fournit est un modèle de base. Je vous conseil aussi le grand angle canon qui est disponible pour pas cher.
Problems:
Aucun problème avec Global Media Pro car leur service est vraiment pro. Le soucis, c'est d'acheter au nom d'un particulier et non d'une société car sinon la douane va se faire un plaisir de vous allumer en vous redressant la TVA pour produit importé... pour mon cas environ 550€... Pas de regrets mais avis aux amateurs...

Great transaction. I received the camcorder in less than 2 weeks in France. Camcorder is running great - I knew this camcorder - so no surprise on this side.

I've produced my first movie and the camera works really well. I haven't
yet tried all the manual functions, but looking forward to do so. The
buttons, the weight, the lcd screen, the viewer - they all work very well
for me. When dragging the files to my mac - I tend to think back when I
had to play all movies through in order to rip them from the camera. It's
history - and I like it! To all you people out there with a mac wondering
if you should buy one of these - do it! It's great.

Problems:
I had to upgrade the firmware in order to use the Class 10 cards I bought
with the camera. Not really a problem, because it worked very well, but
it took me some time to get there.

Recived the camera in Norway approx. 11 days after I ordered it. Very
nice info on tracking on "My Account". I have just tested the camera, and
the results are fantastic for such a small camera!

Ordered the camera via the website and received it in Belgium one week
after I placed my order. Perfect service! Great camera for such a little
size and at this price. I also got the GY-HD200 but this it realy great
for recording in places where there's just no space, hey it's even great
to take on the holiday's, it fits in the pocket of your coat :-)

Great camera, great valueBy Rankinsan
from Sydney, Australia on 2009-10-12
There is enough information out there on the net to help you realise that
this is a great camera at a great price. Look at the video review on
MacVideo.com and dvinfo.net has a good review, plus it sells a really
useful dvd dedicated to the GY HM100 and how to use it. The only things
that I don't like about this camera are the manual controls for iris and
exposure settings. They are very fiddly and annoyingly close to the
battery. Apart from that, this camera is a perfect step up from
camcorders into the prosumer market for interested amateurs, and is ideal
for semi-pros or pros looking for a second camera. The fact that you can
drop video straight into Final Cut Pro is a HUGE selling point. I save my
clips onto an external hard drive and use Quick Look on my Macbook Pro to
determine what I actually am going to keep or delete.......this can be
done in seconds!

I recently bought a GY-HM100 (from globalmediapro) and yesterday I have
recorded my first video with it. I think it is an amazing camera. You can
check it on youtube under the username planetrics. Or just copy paste
