The quality of this product is amazing...
From the sleek metal finish to the impeckable Canon lens.
This is has all the good points of the HV10 while getting rid of the bad points.
The common complaint about this camera is its low light performance, but I found that it was better than expected, especially if you play around with the settings a bit.
If you are planning on uploading footage or video edits to the internet then this is the baby for you. The quality of the footage, even after uploading it to the net is astoundin.
The HV20 still uses MiniDV tapes which is by far the best media for recording onto bar none, and until Hard Drive cameras can record to their disks without making fast moving images jitter than i am sticking with this.

Hi and welcome! To get a better rating you will want to add more information such as the camera's spec and how it stacks up against the competition. It's always good to include your own experiences, but blend them in with some more content and the higher ratings will come along :)

Welcome to ciao. Your review could do with more info. Try writing a bit about the spec and how this compares to similar camcorders. What about the camera makes it the best on the market? That sort of stuff. If you add anything, tell me on my guestbook and i'll be happy to re-read and re-rate. Matt :-)

I'm sorry but there isn't enough there to make we want to buy this product. It is certainly at the more expensive end of the price spectrum, but I don't know what extra facilities I get for my money. Have a look at other similar types of review which have got good ratings to see the types of info to include. If you need any help let me know through my GB.
