Great image, poor "feel" in the hands of Robert Cozzi I have high-end Prosumer camera used in a while, and nearly every other generation of video since 1980. I've used a Sony HC3 HDV handheld was recently however, that my daughter if I have the HV30. The HV30 has a great picture and all that. So I think I'll focus on what either really cool or a little icky for a buyer. Really Cool: Video quality is the best find on today's single-chip HDV camera. Some 3-chip cameras have better color depth but many 3-chip cameras actually have a worse picture. You did a great job. He plays other Canon HDV tape. I own and use a Canon XH A1 3-CCD HDV camcorder and the HV30 plays its tapes even better than the XHA1 seems. It is good because I A1 courage can save up for a few years. It has virtually every output port for you (now) can only wish. HDMI, Component (Component yes!), Composite, USB, Firewire and its complete. He has worked with Apple Final Cut Pro without problems. I can not even XHA1 him to work with it without screwing around with it for a while '. It has a microphone input jack, which podcasters love, but I and others had problems with it. I believe that Canon has not done a single microphone jack, but a sort of microphone with phantom power this or that, that really would not use amateur. So, to make it work, and this is just the tip, to access the menu and activate an option, then access a different menu and adjust the gain and / or volume. Oops, maybe it should be a factor "not so cool." Not so cool. The ergonomics are poor. My hand does not feel at ease now that no matter how I adjust the belt. I've never had this problem with another device. The start / stop record is in the wrong place. They put their "joystick" Goofy right where the thumb of a person falls while holding the camera, so you instinctively press the joystick instead of start / stop button while filming The worst part, Joystick is really crap as an element interface. Camera noise. The camera makes noise when you move it (shake it) makes noise when you zoom in and makes a lot of noise when you insert or eject a tape. Rubbish picture during filming of motion. If you shoot a scene and move the camera, you will get streaks in the image. Why? I believe / assume, because unlike the Canon digital SLR cameras with very little light, making their video equipment does not lower ISO (low light) the ability to Sony or anyone else. I do not know why, but seems to be a consistent theme with Canon. Fortunately, a built-in light useful for those birthday parties, but not much else. The baseline for under $ 800 it costs, worth if you are filming your vacation, holidays, birthdays and everything If you are a podcaster and want something with every connection known to man, is even worth it for the HDMI and microphone jack alone. You can afford the Canon XH A1 or better and want a great picture, this camera is for you. If you only want a tape drive for XH A1, it is actually cheaper than a commercial tape drive CANON HDV. Bottom bottom line is that Sony had lost its way and the Canon HV30 is the current champion career HDV handheld camcorder. I like the Sony better, but I do not get nickel and dimed to death. You buy the Canon HV30 and be happy with the results. 177 of 183 people found the following review helpful. It was a difficult decision, but I'm happy. Canon VIXIA HV30 camcorder lewko High Definition MiniDV 10x optical zoom with image stabilization that I am very happy with my Canon HV30. I rate the image quality, color quality, low-light capabilities, white balance, all excellent zoom control is a bit close for my fingers and I found myself holding the camera less fixed (ie with the tips of my fingers rather than my hand) that would be tiring on a long shot.
