I doubt you would see a difference in quality versus firewire. The Canon HV20 doesn't have this down convert feature IF you recorded in the HDV mode, but you can always use the analog s-video jack to dub to a dvd recorder (I think).

So you can quick connect it to a dvd recorder and transfer the whole tape to make a quick dvd. When you activate this feature in the Sony HDV cams anything recorded in HighDefinition on the tape is output standard definition via the firewire port (standard dv capturing). The one feature I like with the Sony HDV units is they have an internal downconvert feature. What one does the other doesn't and vice versa. It may be less expensive than the HV20 now because Sony has produced newer models.Ĭhoosing between them is always confusing. I was using a Sony HC3 which is also a good HDV cam.

I used VMS 8 (with latest updates) extensively to capture, edit & write back to tape in both HDV and Standard DV modes (I wouldn't mix the tapes, use 1 for standard dv recording & another for just HDV).

If you do buy the NTSC versions of HG10 or the HV20, and you want to record in 24p instead of 60i (in order to get the 'movie look'), you will have to remove pulldown: You can upgrade to Vegas Pro for $180 these days: Either that, or you will have to buy Vegas Pro.

If you don't want to buy a tape camcorder, buy the HG10, but, you will have to buy either a Sony PS3 or an XBoX360 to watch your 1080p or 720p videos on TV. This is the camcorder of the year so far, and while the hardware is exactly the same as in the HG10, it has a better quality because HDV at 25mbps has better quality (so far) than h.264 in AVCHD at 15 mbps. So, here's what I suggest:īuy the tape-based Canon HV20. So even if you buy such a camcorder today, you won't be able to put back your edited footage on it to watch it on TV. Now, to make things worse, VMS won't let you upload AVCHD files back to the camcorder (only Vegas Pro can do that right now). However, AVCHD is not a mature environment right now. The Canon HG10 is the strongest consumer AVCHD camcorder today.
