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 »

The Canon HV20 is just so lovely.

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 »

HD Camcorder for Under $200? No Way!

byrbinck Mar 20, 2010
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small and inexpensive.
Cons So lightweight can be hard to take steady videos without a tripod.
Recommended it? Yes

Yes way! 

Introduction
Every now and then you run across a product that you think just couldn't possibly be as advertised.  When I read about the Aiptek HD camcorders I thought how in the world could this be a serious camcorder.  So looking first at the 720p version it was... Read full review »

Pros Simple Setup, Excellent Picture Quality, Image Stabilization
Cons Poor Sound, Bad in Low Light
Recommended it? Yes

After some heavy web surfing, viewing of samples via YouTube clips on the web I finely took the plunge and ordered this little bugger. Now that I’ve had it for a while to try out I can give it a good recommendation, if you’re looking for an inexpensive video camera that is.
