Hey everyone, as part of our Canon H1/G1/A1 seminar this Saturday(the 10th), we will have a prototype HV20 for people to see and touch!
The Seminar starts at 9am, Greg Salmon from Canon will be here going over the cameras. It's $30 and we feed you. If you would like to attend, please call us@ 323-466-8211 so we can get a good head count and try to bring cash so I can get everyone checked in faster.

Has anyone else tried to watch the HV20 footage posted on that site?

Their compression is HORRIBLE, but only because it's so hard to play back. The quality is still there.

Anyone want to recompress to something that can actually be played? I might try to recompress it myself to see if that makes any difference.

Ylou can tell, because the 60i footage is still stuttery but when it reaches the right playback speed on the hardware, it's glassy smooth.
 
Apparently there is an EXP button that will lock the exposure like there is on the HV10. That's as close to full manual control as you will get. Just set it on Tv mode, set the shutter speed, press the EXP button and roll the control wheel to set the exposure.

I have another question about exposure though. Does it say anywhere if this camera will have zebras? Does the HV10 have zebras?

LINKY!

Additional features on the HV10 include a video light, histogram display, zebra
patterns and grid markers. It uses a Canon HD video lens, F1.8 – F3.0, with a
37mm filter diameter. The zoom range extends to 10x optical and 200x digital.
The focal distance ranges (in 35mm equiv.) from 43.6mm – 436mm.

Thanks. Then I really hope that HV20 will have zebras as well. It seems like this cam is going to have everything I can't live without. :) The only drawback might be that it isn't possible to turn off the gain.

Did anyone attend the Birns and Sawyers hv20 preview on satuday? I was hoping someone could report on what they thought about the preproduction model.
 
Thanks Norbert.

I read it. However, I could understand that would be possible to have manual control on it, right?

That said, it is what matters (it's only a question of management and knowledge of the device, I think).
 
This looks awesome! Has anyone done any green-screen work with the HV10? I would assume that it would be even better with the HV20?
 
to edit the footage i will have to convert to DVCPRO because my computer can't handle HDV at all.

i will be getting the PAL version when it comes out. what would you recomend;
convert 1080 25p HDV to 720 25p DVCPRO or 1080 50i DVCPRO????
 
From the price, it looks like the quality of this baby wouldnt be as good as the FX1, but with technology improving at a magnificent rate, I wouldnt be surprised if it had about the same quality. Anyone have any comparisons etc?
