Increible picture quality
This is my first refurbished product, the camera looks like new, come with all their accesories, works perfect, I own a SONY HVR-HD1000u and the hv20 blow away the sony, low light is a lot better in the canon and 24p option is a plus for me.

The construction is a little bit crappy but the picture quality is stunning.

Best Regards. .... Read more

Muy buena cámara
La HV20 esta muy bien, todo lo que se escribe sobre ella es cierto. Tiene una calidad de imagen excelente pero recuerden NO ES PROFESIONAL. Aún asi se le puede sacar provecho con practica. Lo único en contra es que en condiciones de poca luz pierde puntos, ah, y la batería no es la gran cosa. Por lo demás muy bien. Y con algunos accesorios como el lente angular y una bateria con mayor capacidad mucho mejor.

Fantastic Image Quality, But 24P Is Tough To Post-Process
I used to own a Canon GL2 (prosumer SD 3CCD camera with Canon L lens) but got tired of carrying it around to take travel video which I rarely ended up editing. So I sold it and purchased this, looking forward to HD quality and 24P framerates.

The HD quality does not disappoint in any way whatsoever. Hook this up to a 1080i/p HDTV via HDMI and the quality of the image will be indistinguishable from what you see on any of the HD channels. I was blown away.
