CANON HV20 - Pocketable High Definition
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.
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,...

HDV Camcorder of the year 2007
My Sony DCR-HC42 died after just 2 years and 20 hours worth of recording. Too costly to repair I decided to look what I could afford in the HD arena.
By purchasing the HV-20 I think I have what I need. With there being only 2 or 3 serious vendors in the consumer HD market my choice was pretty...

What a great camera after initial audio problems
I've had this camera for a few weeks now and I'm really enjoying it. The video I've taken with it seems to rival the quality from PBS HD, but of course I'm not a professional videographer.
The size is surprisingly small (at least to me), I don't think they will be able to make this thing...

The Canon HV20 in my production system
I bought the HV20 to take over the job of my TRV-900 DV camcorder, which is to serve as b-roll/POV camera and backup to my Sony Z1 HDV at event jobs, and serve as my personal camera for funstuff and family occasions. Initially I chose a Sony but switched to this one because it had an accessory shoe... Read full review »
Wow
I have been making home movies since 1991. I have been through a variety of formats--VHS, VHS-C, MiniDV, and finally HD. For the last six years I have been using the prosumer Canon GL-1 model. It has a 3CCD chip and takes spectacular movies. Considering the quality of it, I was skeptical that any... Read full review »
You need other HD equipment to fully enjoy
After having the older Canon GL1 semi professional standard definition digital video recorder that gives good 480 resolution video quality in the 4:3 screen size but poor video quality in the 16:9 widescreen mode, I decided to upgrade to the HD Canon HV20. The Canon HV20 is more compact than my GL1... Read full review »
Great Camera For Filmmaking or Home Videos!!!
The Canon HV20 is very impressive for such a low price. It can be now be had for about $400-$600 on Ebay and the quality you get dollar for dollar make it the best $4$ camcorder on the planet.
The resolution is 1440x1080p at 16:9 ratio. It's not the expected 1920x1080p resolution for a...

My favorite camcorder ever
I finally upgraded to a new camera with 16:9 lens, no old fashioned 8mm tape which had crummy quality to begin with. This camera takes some awesome video without the complications of the normal process. The exterior screen is big enough that you don't even mess with the view finder. The camera's...

Slightly overrated but decent HD Camcorder
I always do my research before purchasing anything over $100, and in this case, at ~$950, I've read nearly all of the available consumer/professional reviews of this product before making my purchase. While I am for the most part satisfied with the decision, I don't think this camera deserves all... Read full review »
