The HV20 is a real bargain and solid camcorder. The 24p + Cinemode makes the camcorder shines in low light shooting. There is a forum hv20.com, lots of good info and footage to download from there. Taky

That's the one I was considering also.But my question is can you actually capture into Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 with it?Thanks,Jean----- Original Message ----- From: robinleeedwards To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2007 6:11 PMSubject: [AP] Re: Camcorders -- HDD models vs Mini-DVHi Jack and Jean:I just edited my first HDV shoot from the HV-20 and WOW it looksgreat. It was fun to shoot, and looked good on the HDTV but even whenI export it as a DVD in SD quality it is soooo much better than my oldSony VX2000 3-chip camera could ever shoot.Bottom line for me. . . .shooting video is hard work, way to difficultto put up with mediocre raw material that we all are going to have toedit. Get the good stuff, and then go into edit mode!Yes it is miniDV HDV but it is almost under $1000, beyond that it'syour decision. I made mine and went right out and bought an XH-A1 fromCanon, and gave the Sony to my wife!More later,Robin EdwardsSan Francisco--- In [email protected], "Jack Kalata"<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:>> I just bought the HDV-20 Canon camcorder ... but, haven't had thechance to> run video clips through my editor.
