CANON HV20 - Pocketable High Definition

Pros Picture quality, connectivity, easy to use, battery life, HDV easy to process, 10x...

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.

My review of this product stems from a parent's point of view and excitement about any piece of electronic equipment that my children can figure out and use safely.

Recommended it? Yes
