BEST HDV CAMERA FOR UNDER $1100

I work at a local camera shop, and we just ordered a few of these cameras in. I've had the chance to test it out over the past few days, and I am quite impressed. I've worked with many different video cameras over the years, including a few high-end camer...

Excellent for a consumer camera

Considering what most people will buy this for, including myself, it's a great little camera. Not too large, not too small as to be unusable. The quality when hooked up to an HD monitor is quite amazing. I switched between footage shot during the day f...

My review for Canon HV20

I got my Canon HV20 yesterday. Just post several problems after testing it. 1. Handling. The handling is quite awkward. My hand feel very uncomfortable when holding it, it alway slips. I have to use the other hand to adjust it from time to time. Als...

I have a sony FX1 since 2 years and then I had bought a sony HC1 which I had to return due to unacceptable video noise in low light conditions. When you have used sony FX1 you know how the low light videos are supposed to look, so I had something good to...

My Canon HV20 WOW Moments!

You can't beat the HD picture quality from the HV20 based on actual user reviews and comparisons with all of the latest models. While this is a single CMOS sensor, it is a true 1920 x 1080 HD sensor of the same quality found in the award winning Canon Dig...

great camcorder

I mainly use the camcorder for recording my kids. I bought this camcorder a couple of weeks ago. I had the sony hc-7 before for a couple of weeks which I returned and bought the canon camcorder. The brightlight performance of...

Outstanding little Camera will change the game

This is the first 5 star rating I have ever given on Amazon! I chose the HV20 in preparation for a week long shoot in North and South India. I was ready to purchase the new Panasonic HVX200 (for approximately $5,000); but the $1,100 HV20 cam...
