Slightly overrated but decent HD Camcorder
Post by: raxor247 - Date: 2008-07-23T20:26:50.000-08:00 Author's Rating: Pros: Good price and quality compared to its competitors. Cons: Focusing issues, annoying LCD screen, lack of stop-motion feature or"anti-ground" filming. The Bottom Line: If you absolutely have to remain below the $1000 mark, then this camera is the best. If willing to go slightly over, get a Sony. Review: raxor247 Read full review
Great Camera For Filmmaking or Home Videos!!!

Cons: Small, doesn't look like a pro camera. Not enough manual controls. The Bottom Line: It's great for families, filmmakers, videographers, etc. It's just superb all around and it doesn't cost much. I always thought I'd have to spend thousands for quality like this.

The Canon HV20 in my production system

Cons: Tricky controls/menu/zoom, grainy low light loses red, silver paint, crude strap and viewfinder. The Bottom Line: The HV20 does its intended job well, and can fill both hobbyist and professional needs. I think it is the best HDV camera in its size and price range.
