| GZ-HD7 now available in the UK
I am interested in this camera. I know it is not the picture King (which is the HV20), but I have tried the Canon, and just don't get on with the controls.
I bought an HD7 from Ebuyer only to find out, after they ship it to me, that it is a Hong Kong model and not an official UK model.
As mentioned previously on the forum, the OIS on this model is poor. However, the UK/European model may be improved as JVC UK did feedback to Victor in Japan about concerns with this feature.
Selfridges in London have a UK HD7 on display. I won't be able to get there for a while, so if anyone is curious to try one out and works near Selfridges, perhaps they can try one out and report back. Basically go to maximum zoom while holding it and see how it fairs with OIS switched on and off...its very easy to change it in the menu.
