Bottom Line: Great picture under most conditions combined with a low price (for HDV in 2007) makes the HV20 a solid choice.
Review: Just as we've come to accept the marginal quality of standard TV standards like PAL and especially NTSC, High Definition television finally is ready for the mass market. The vastly superior resolution (2 MPx) of HD-TV is a stark reminder that the 0.3 MPx... (more)

Review: I've had this camera for a few weeks now and I'm really enjoying it. The video I've taken with it seems to rival the quality from PBS HD, but of course I'm not a professional videographer. The size is surprisingly small (at least to me), I don't think... (more)
