Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon HV20 3MP High Definition MiniDV Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Customer 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.Customer Review: Totally awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
I checked out the reviews, rated the best in the price range. I have been shooting minidv video for 7 years. I was overwhelmed with the color and clarity of a concert in a club I shot. Even after compressing and sending to the web, the clarity is a whole new level, not to mention on a large screen.Canon HV20 3MP High Definition MiniDV Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized ZoomCustomer Review: Excellent HD
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera delivers excellent video quality.
I use it with the hot-shoe attachable microphone and the audio is quite good.
I've plugged this into my HD television and the quality is excellent. I have also had the Optura Xi from Canon and while the build quality of the HV20 is not quite as good as that of the Optura Xi, the video quality is nothing short of stunning.
This is a very good deal for $1000. You won't be disappointed.
Customer Review: Great HD Video Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
The HV20 is a great HD video camera. The resulting 1940 X 1080 video is fantastic - clear and and handles contrast very well. Even good in low light. The menu system is relatively easy to follow and there are settings for almost all circumstances plus manual shutter or manual aperature modes.
The still images are even good enough (in card mode at maximum resolution setting) to use as full-page pictures with Apple's photobooks.

Bought this HD camera for trip to Kauai. I took a 3 CCD Panasonic SD Video camera on a trip to Costa Rica a few years back, and when I got home and compared the two I was shocked. The color and picture quality of the HD was amazing. The Panasonic was good at the time but can't even come close to the HV20. You need an HDMI cable connected to an HDTV to really see the difference in HD vs SD, but I will never shoot anything but HD again.
