"I bought the HV20 about 6 months ago for a short advertisement I was shooting.

"I read a review of this in DV magazine, which rated it the best consumer level HDV camera at the time. I wanted to get a new camcorder and decided to future proof a bit and invest in the HV20. I must say, I'm not disappointed.
