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 »

Swiss Army Knife of Electronics

byblueshop May 2, 2008
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Does soooo much for relatively little money. Good quality that makes me suspicious.
Cons Battery life could be better. Basically useless if you don't also buy a memory card.
Recommended it? Yes

If you want more than this for the same money, I think you're being unreasonably greedy. (NOTE- MOST of the AIPTEK Camcorder models are VERY similar - this review should apply to several of them.)

OK, it doesn't wash dishes or clean the garage. But there doesn't seem to be much more this... Read full review »
