Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon HV20 3MP High Definition MiniDV Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

Customer Review: Firewire port has stopped working
Summary: 1 Stars

Had the camera less than a month and it suddenly stopped being recognized by any of my systems although they could access older sony fine. Camera is fine in all other aspects. I am generally careful in hooking up firewire devices (even in cases like this where no power should go to camera due to 6-to-4 pin connector). Fine print on Amazon affiliate says they do not provide service so I will have to contact Canon directly.

BTW, J&K Camera delayed sending camera and made unsolicited sales call. See >http://www.resellerratings.com/forum/showthread.php?t=119938 for various complaints against them.

Customer Review: Excelent image but recording randomly freeze
Summary: 1 Stars

Hi, I just bought the canon HV20. The image is amazing.

However, I went out for a test shoot. Then I rewinded the tape and playback. For some reason, the footage randomly freeze for a second, and then jump forward a second or two in time (always at the same point). In 10 minutes of shooting, it happens 4 times. I thought it was a tape defect, but it wasn't.

I don't know if anyone else has the same problem.

Customer Review: Beware: motor noise ruins your sound recordings
Summary: 1 Stars

After 2 years with my HV20, I'm splurging on a new SDHC flash drive camera, because of all the HV20 motor noise, which ruins my video sound recordings. I love Canon & my HD video camcorder, and I bought all accessories from Day 1 including the DM-100 directional microphone. But it doesn't help the motor noise problem. It may even be worse with the DM-100, I can't quite tell. If anyone has ideas to solve, please post.

Customer Review: j&K cameras sent me a broken camera
Summary: 1 Stars

We spend $768 to buy this camera. However, when we first receive it. The camera box was not sealed. we were thinking the camera should be a new one, and continue to use it. End up the port upload to the computer didnot work, and the Company selling this camera (J&K)refused to provide any repair or help because it passed 7 days after the purchase. We are very disappointed with this seller.
