BEST PROSUMER HD CAMERA TO MAKE A FILM WITH
Loaded with features , the price is really affordable now. A great HD camera to get started with. Instantly shoot another tape - way cheaper than digital media cards - tapes work like a permanent back-up. Way steadier and smoother shots than Go-pro. If you are trying to make a quality film with Hollywood type shots - this is the one (HV 20 HV30 HV40 ) Proven tape technology - just make sure your computer has a firewire input. I have made over 20 documentaries with this camera.Loaded with features , the price is really affordable now. A great HD camera to get started with.

My favorite type of video camera so far
I bought my first Canon HV20 because a user said that he could mix tapes from it with his best professional work and not see any real difference. It is reasonably light and compact, and I have liked the fact that it uses tape because that prevents losing any whole files due to corruption of data. That camera failed after three years, for an unknown reason, but I repaired it and also bought an HV30, to stay in the same type of tapes and functioning. Both models work almost identically, so there is no issue in switching back and forth. I sometimes use the HV20 in a scuba housing, and it is important to me that it has a rear viewfinder, since there is no room in that tube to open the side screen. The image quality is like being there, so much better than with older video and film, and ...

The image quality is like being there, so much better than with older video and film, and the batteries last through one or sometimes two hour-long tapes, depending on the shooting situation. I sometimes call it "a camera that doesn't need light," because it has really good low light capability, compared to other cameras in my experience, although it does acquire noticeable image "noise" in low light. It is getting harder to find computers that download firewire, but so far that option is available to me, so I am satisfied.

EXCELLENT Firewire Streaming Capable Camera!
So 100's of reviews of this thing exist. Why pitch in 2 more cents if they're not of any value, right? You're looking at this camera, and it's great. It's the second generation of a 4 generation consumer-level legendary line-up. It's an HDV (High Definition Video) MiniDV camera. Please don't scoff at this as a relic of 6 years ago. Here's why. I am the AV director for my church, and as of recent we have desired to STREAM VIDEO out of the church to the masses. Oh, but do that with quality. The quality of "High Def" please, whatever that means. SO start looking around at a camera with passable firewire throughput 1080 video, and on a church budget of less than $200. Bingo: the HV20. I'll leave the rave qualities to the reading that can be found in other reviews. The REAL bottom line is ... So 100's of reviews of this thing exist.

I'll leave the rave qualities to the reading that can be found in other reviews. The REAL bottom line is that this camera is CURRENT: 1080p 24fps with a few decent controls for those interested in manual settings (me), acceptable 10x optical zoom (but can be mated with other fixed converter lenses like we have in the Vivitar Series 1 line, employing a 58mm x.43 and x2.2 lens (we have two cameras). Life is compromise. HD video ISN'T HD once you compress it into the streamed video world. Does that mean is doesn't look good, or doesn't work well? NO! It means that any fault this camera has is totally enveloped into the fudge-factor of streaming quality bandwidth. I.E. Joe Q. Public just won't know for the worse.

Canon HDV-20 camcorder wins
I have two Canon HV20 high definition camcorders. They are lightweight and produce a broadcast quality image in good lighting. Unlike many newer camcorders the single CMOS chip Canon HV-20 records using Mini-DV videotape cassettes. Recording can be selected for the HDV high definition format or standard definition DV format. Both formats record data at 25 mbps. An especially useful feature of recording with HDV videotape is the convenience of editing. Both HDV and DV tapes can be easily transferred into a computer's video editing software. Much more so than video recordings made with the newer AVCHD solid state digital format. For editing the AVCHD video files usually have to be converted to another high definition format and the conversion procedure requires a computer with ...

Both HDV and DV tapes can be easily transferred into a computer's video editing software. Much more so than video recordings made with the newer AVCHD solid state digital format. For editing the AVCHD video files usually have to be converted to another high definition format and the conversion procedure requires a computer with exceptionally large storage drive capacity (hundreds of gigabytes). While HDV files also require large amounts of storage the amount of storage required is perhaps 1/3 less than than of AVCHD. When they were introduced a few years ago the single CMOS chip Canon HV-20 camcorder was about $1,000. (US). With careful shopping on EBay it's possible to find one of these cameras at less cost. The Canon HV20 is very compact and lightweight. It's great for traveling and on location photography. The camcorder has dozens of special features with manual control available for all aspects of the recording. The Canon HV-20 also has the ability to record at 24 frames per second progressive which creates a sort of film effect. I've used Canon HV-20s for both principle and B roll scenes in combination with larger professional video gear. The HV-20s integrate very nicely and with little effort before and after editing they integrate nicely in broadcast program production.

It might not be the latest model, but it still a good buy
I picked this up mostly because of the the price. These cameras are a cult favorite and for good reason. Canon incorporated many features found in high end cameras (mic level control and monitoring, manual picture control) into the HV20. Even today, Canon still sells this camera's replacement, the HV40, due to demand. Yes, this camera uses tapes, but unlike AVC-HD flash-based camcorders, it uses MPEG-2 video that most computers can easily edit. It also fully supports legacy DV recording and playback if you don't need/require HD video for a project. The only real benefit AVC-HD cameras have over the HV20 is true 1920x1080 video resolution (HDV is natively 1440x1080) and the ability to shoot 60p video. The latter only supported by a handful of cameras (not Canon's ... I picked this up mostly because of the the price. These cameras are a cult favorite and for good reason.

The latter only supported by a handful of cameras (not Canon's ironically enough), and requires a very powerful computer to edit. Most people won't even notice the difference, particularly if your final product is going to be posted on an online video sharing site like YouTube. The only issue I noticed with this camera is that the built in mic picks up a lot of camera noise (tape transport, zoom lens) and handling noise. This can easily be solved by connecting an external microphone, which the HV20 has a port for. This camcorder also lacks a LAN-C jack, so if you happen to have a wired tripod remote, it will NOT work.
