    This HDv is better quality than any DV camera out there. dont be fooled by the size of this badboy it packs a punch. a 150 watt Light and a directional mic and clip-on microphones and a bigger battery are a NEED when u buy this!! if you got the money buy the 150GB version of this exact camera if your planning on doing movies or anything sersious.

    An Video Camera Big on Features but Tiny in Size
    rating

    I purchase this camcorder from Amazon.com last year. It has a lot more features that I will every use in my life time. The video from this video camera is nothing but outstanding. The colors are just out of this world. The camcorder is so tiny that it fits just right in the palm of my hand. I am using a 16G SDHC Class 6 memory card with this camera. Also using Sothink Movie DVD Maker Pro (29.95 USD) to create great looking video that I play in my Blu-ray player and it also can be play in my SD video player. The video looks outstanding on a Samsung 55" LCD HDTV television. I needed to turn the Canon HF 20 camera's volume down a little because it would pickup some wind noise. I do not miss a viewfinder on a camcorder. I use the LCD on the camcorder to view what I am recording and for me it works just fine. This camcorder is going to last me a very long time, it has features that would last a life time. I like the idea of using SDHC memory cards, very nice. I purchase a BP-809 battery from a third party for very little cost. It is the size of the Canon BP-809 battery but when using the third party battery, the camcorder does not show the remaining time on the LCD display. And the third party battery has to be recharge using the Canon's AC power adapter. The third party battery seems to last as long as the Canon's BP-809 battery. There are a lot of Video Converter software that can convert AVCHD (mts, m2ts) format to any other video format that can be play on almost any type of video player. I burn my videos onto a DVD to be play on my Samsung 55" LCD HDTV. No problems. I would recommend the Canon's HF 20 camcorder to my friends.
