Canon HV20 High Definition MiniDV Camcorder

Posted Nov 26th, 2007 by Chief Gizmateer

The top seller on Amazon in the categories of Digital MiniDV Camcorders and High Definition Camcorders is Canon’s HV20. Featuring an unparalleled combination of 10x optical zoom, a 2.96MP CMOS sensor, a small design and HD and SD recording modes this consumer digital camcorder is great for people wanting to test the high definition grounds with their personal videos.

One rather cool mode the Canon has is 24p Cinema Mode. This feature allows amateur videographers to create a professional “film look” that use to be available only in pro-level camcorders. in the 24p Cinema Mode, the frame rate is changed to 24p which is the same frame rate as movie film as well as changes to both the color and tonal characteristics which further the illusion that you are watching a movie in the theater.

Gimmie!

Suggested Price: $748.11
