no reason not to get it :) it rocks... i had the sony hdr-hc3 before the hv20 and the quality is so much better. 24p is fun to play with as well. just have to do a seperate pulldown if you don't have it in your editor already. a lot of handy manual settings on the hv20 as well. but can always put this thing on auto pilot and does a great job.

There isnt much difference or should i say there is not difference. Both cams produce equally the same quality.
Awesome is the word!

Kick Ass indeed... HV10, HV20, HV30 awesome..Low Light much better for the 20 and 30 thats the only diff I can honestly add. If lighting is good all three cams RAWKS !!

1000% Awesome always with the CANON HV20 HV30

Indeed it is important to get those both areas right to achive optimum results. With a little of playing around, i am sure you will eventually figure it out easy... And the settings no secret really... It was in i believe shutter priority mode with a little tweak on the EXPOSURE COMPENSATION...
