   24 September 2008

   The Canon Vixia HG20 ($949 MSRP) is a very good camcorder, of that there's little doubt. Since last year's highly-rated HG10, the hard drive was expanded from 40GB to 60GB, the maximum bit rate increased from 15Mbps all the way up to 24Mbps, which is the fastest that AVCHD allows for. However, we couldn't see discernible increase in video quality with the bitrate bump, so that should not be a major factor in your purchasing decision. Read more

   The bottom line: Like its cousin, the flash-based HF11, Canon's Vixia HG20 delivers excellent HD video quality and performance albeit in a slightly larger, heavier package. However, you do get more storage space and a lower price. Read more

   It combines the ease of recording video directly onto an internal Hard Disk Drive with the advanced AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec High Definition) format. Its 60GB Hard Disk Drive allows you to record up to 22 hours and 55 minutes of crisp, high definition video (LP Mode). It also is a dual system camcorder, with the capability of also recording video and still images to an SDHC card as well. Read more

   Considering that watching video from our old camera was like looking through a window with grease on it, the picture quality on this camera is awesome. Easy to use. Lightweight. Versatile. We're struggling a bit more with manipulating the files once on computer but that is probably because it uses the latest m2ts format. Have to wait for the world to catch up. Read more
