JVC GY-HM150

The HM-150 is a professional camcorder from JVC. It is over 10 years old as of writing but works fine as a camera still.

With XLR microphone connectors this camera has the potential for some really good audio.

It is worth noting that this camera has a very narrow field of view that I found very difficult to use indoors. Combined with a small sensor you will not be getting any blurry backgrounds with this camera.

The image itself is also a little on the soft side probably not helped by the 1080i output. Probably fine if your streaming/recording at 720p or using the camera on its own for YouTube
