CANON HV20 - Pocketable High Definition

bytheuerkorn Apr 26, 2007
50 Helpfuls 51 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Picture quality, connectivity, easy to use, battery life, HDV easy to process, 10x...
Cons HDV limitations, ergonomics, NTSC only, no firewire cable included
Recommended it? Yes

Just as we've come to accept the marginal quality of standard TV standards like PAL and especially NTSC, High Definition television finally is ready for the mass market. The vastly superior resolution (2 MPx) of HD-TV is a stark reminder that the 0.3 MPx standard tv was a mere compromise of state... Read full review »

Pros HD ability, manual controls, stunning video quality, accessory shoe (for external mic,...
Cons Some pieces may feel a little cheap to some, but to me they felt fine.
Recommended it? Yes

After taking only 20 minutes or so of footage inside at night in low light and then in the morning in bright, direct sunlight, this camcorder has exceeded my expectations in every way. In fact, I must say that I was dumbfounded at the stunningly high quality of the video.

Keep in mind,... Read full review »

Is That a Camcorder in Your Pocket, or Are You Happy To See Me?

byBruguru Apr 1, 2008

Pros Decent video, very compact, inexpensive, easy to use.
Cons Playback not nearly as good on your HDTV, better for the PC.
Recommended it? Yes

These days, you can find videos of just about anything on You Tube. That's a great thing really, but if you want to upload video to You Tube (or any other site that hosts videos for that matter, including your own) you need a video camera. Most video cameras are too bulky to lug around all the... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

From the makers of the PENCAM! Comes a super inexpensive true HD video camera! sounds too good to be true, eh? Well, it's not a total scam, but it's not George Lucas cinematography either…
