Yeah man. It's a drag, but considering that you can buy at least *FOUR* HV20s for the price of one XHA1, it's clearly the way to go for the budget-conscious that are willing to deal with the extra hassle. Bill Cammack http://billcammack.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Eric Rochow

1) I've only used a PAL HV20, but even with the US version, you don't *have* to shoot in Progressive, do you? It's just an option, isn't it? (And one that Canon has failed to implement properly - with no pulldown flags) So surely you can just shoot in the normal 60i mode without all this

Just saw this, posted today about the new HG11 and HF11 Canon HDD AVCHD cameras rivalling HV20 30 for quality. Her thoughts: Today the tape died, as far as I am concerned, with this fall of the HV20/30. http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2008/07/22/consumer-avchd-caught-up- with-the-hv2030/

They try this, they won't know what hit them. I like how the article says Canada is a good test case because Canadians are more laissez faire and less politically motivated. Not my experience of Canada so far. They might seem laid back, but poke them with a stick and they're like hornets.

You're absolutely right, Rupert... However, in Eric's situation, he bought the HV20 to be a b-roll camera for his Canon XHA1. The reason he has to shoot 24p with the HV20 is to match the footage from the XHA1. Otherwise, he'd be able to skip 24p and shoot 60i and not have to deal with any extra

What they're thinking is they want you to buy an XHA1. The HV20 is one of those classic oops, we made a strictly non-pro item a little too good events (kind of like DV). It was never intended to become the low-cost hdv equivalent to a bolex for low-end pros or even a b-roll camera. But its image
