After very careful study and consideration over the last several months, I decided to go ahead and go with this JVC GZ-HM1 rather than the Canon HF S21 or Sony HDR-CX550V.
One of my main concerns was low light shooting. Although I believe that both the Canon and JVC to be similar in their great quality picture during normal lighting conditions, unfortunately, the Canon does not have a backlit CMOS sensor introduced this year by JVC, and last year by Sony.
In the end, I was left debating between this JVC and the Sony. The Sony has a larger and much more beautiful 3.5″ touch display, opposed to the 2.8″ display on the JVC (the JVC uses nice touch sensitive buttons, which keep the screen clean and smudge free, which is also a good feature). Also, the Sony offers more automated features for novice users.
I went to a local camera store, and tested both units using a very high quality HD display and connected both camcorders via HDMI. The quality and clarity of the image on the JVC unit was far, far, superior, and text/minute details at a far distance that weren’t legible on the Sony, were clearly legible on the JVC. The manual controls, and physical button layout, as well as the awesome zoom rocker, really set the JVC apart from the Sony. The general sensation is that the Sony model was packed with gimmicks, and designed to be “idiot proof”, while the JVC was designed to be controlled by the user, and is fantastic for someone who isn’t scared of manual controls (not to say that the automatic mode isn’t good).

The JVC GZ-HM1 Camcorder was a great investment for me and quickly gave me a return on my investment. I’m a designer by trade, so sometimes I take pictures or video feeds of places I go to capture the moment of inspiration. Later, I then go back over the pictures & video to refresh my memory on the events that took place & fuel my creativity. The JVC GZ-HM1 Camcorder proved to supply me with outstanding quality when I needed it. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone
