Digital camera reviews of Canon HV20 3MP High Definition MiniDV Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: A bit out of date, but still a decent camcorder.
Summary: 5 Stars
A bit out of date, but still a decent camcorder. It shoots fine, I have a 35mm DOP adapter on it, with some Canon EF lenses on it, plus a mattebox. It's really fun to shoot with.Digital camera Review: A great camera
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased this camera before taking a Northern European cruise. The picture quality is excellent. It is small enough to carry very comfortably in a purse. We are delighted with the videos (except for photographer errors). We left it on the cinematic mode for the trip. Before leaving home, we compared the regular HDV mode and the cinematic mode and it was difficult to tell much difference. My only complaint (and this is a small one) is that it is a little awkward to hold and operate with one hand. I also wish that it had more emphasis in the guidebook about video editing.Digital camera Review: A little old now, but still worth buying.
Summary: 5 Stars
So if you want to get into the HD video camera game but you're only shooting family gatherings or anything like that, this is the way to go. Cheap, portable and the quality is great. There are newer models now that have Hard Drives but this isn't a bad way to go. I use DSLRs now but I would always recommend this camera to anyone. If you're looking to get into the HD Indie business there are adaptors for lenses and things like that. A lot of add ons for this camera and it the picture quality is great.Digital camera Review: Absolutely stunning high-def video
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had this camcorder for a few weeks now. It feels to be worth the money, and I am a low income person. My only quibble is that the menu is a little confusing and less than intuitive for me, hence the four stars. But after hooking this camcorder up to a high-def set with HDMI I was astounded. Puts high definition into the hands of consumers. Small size lets it fit into a smaller size container, and because it uses miniDV tapes, its output is easily archived. I was easily able to link it up, via firewire, with iMovie. Now if Apple or Sony would make a low cost Blu-Ray burner/player, the high definition home movie option would be totally open.
I have found the photo images to be very usable.
Also, though tutorials aren't easily found, I was able to go to YouTube and find many HV20 tutorials.
I do worry about its durability, as it does have a "plastic" feel. Paid $1015 at Amazon, and it needs to last several years. Still, no buyer's remorse, though wondering how to use the high definition capabilities without a Blu-Ray burner/player option I can afford. Camera is working great so far.
Digital camera Review: Amazing HV20 !!
Summary: 5 Stars
This camcorder have every thing you want it in a consumer camcorder. except the problem with the motor noise every other thing are amazing: video quality, image stabilizer, output ports, size, weight and zoom ... etc
