HV 20 announced

On the other hand, the shot of the girl walking towards the camera is not worth the download time, as it's rediculously out of focus!

yes, this camera looks unbelievable for the price, the images are great
can't keep thinking about what would happen if it didn't have to be squeezed to fit onto 1440 x1080 and then compressed to hdv, as of now there was no clear answer if it could record the uncompressed or semi uncompressed out of the hdmi

kind of want the 24p sensor and color look from the hv20 with a hard drive and codec like the new panasonic AG-HSC1U

It would probably have a little more depth and pop in the colors if the live HDMI out is uncompressed 4:2:2. It'll be a pain to try and get that image in the field if a laptop HDMI capture card doesn't happen. (laptop tethered would be plenty of pain anyway)

I'm sure Canon will do an AVC HD version of the HV20 (or its future equivalent) at some point. When that time comes, just sell the HV20 for a minor loss and upgrade if it turns out that AVC HD really is that much better.

Well i think tape is much easier to edit with compared to AVC HD.

this camera looks amazing... maybe its the price!
 
Anyone know what the minumum specs are to capture thru hdmi on PC with the Black Magic Intensity card? I am thinking about using black magics online jpeg codec. Wonder if that would work with a shuttle PC.
 
This little camera is amazing. Wow, Canon! Way to go. First you level the HDV playing field with the XLH1. Then you spin the crowd like a top with the A1. And now you've caught all the sleeping giants with this fantastic little gem, the HV20.
 
Does anyone know if they make hdmi to component cables? I am thinking of buying a used HDTV and I am sure it will only have component and maybe dvi. Craigslist baby! I would like to be able to hook up the hv20 to it.

there are tons of hdmi to component adapters but you won't need it anyways, the hv20 can do component out.
 
Thanks ecking that is good news. Where are the hdmi adapters? I would need that if I purchase a black magic intensity card.
