Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The HV30 inherits the HV20's Canon HD Camera System - the unique combination of a genuine Canon HD Video Lens, a 2.96MP Full HD CMOS sensor and the DIGIC DV II processor. Designed and manufactured by Canon, these components integrate seamlessly to deliver superb HDV1080i (High Definition Video) images, recorded to tape.Focusing in HD can be difficult, since even slight errors are noticeable. The HV30 employs a unique hybrid system called Instant AF for extremely fast, accurate auto focusing - making it easier to capture pin sharp HD pictures.The HV30 features Canon's advanced 2.7? Multiangle Vivid LCD screen. Making it easier to monitor recording when shooting from particularly high or low angles, it has a wide 135-degree viewing angle. HCAR surface treatment ensures sharp images, a wider range of vibrant colors and reduced screen reflection.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Fine Cannon Camera
I have had a Cannon HV30 for about a month now. The quality is extremely good. There may be bias in this statement because I am moving from standard def video from a Cannon S3 IS camera. The colors are brilliant and the low light performance is amazing compared to any other video that I have ever seen from a camcorder of this price/feature set. Personally, I wish that the manual features were easier to use. Overall, buy this camcorder if you want ease of use and amazing quality.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Seriously GREAT video
I previously owned a Canon ZR930. I bought it for web and other marketing video. It is a great budget, entry level camera, but the resolution is not stellar and the lower light performance is not great, either. I had to return 2 of them before getting a ZR930 that worked--one had a blown mic port and another had a blown Firewire port. Third time was the charm and the ZR930 is a great entry level camera that can be had for less than $300--and it includes a mic port, which is a must.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Video Quality I've Ever Seen in a <$2000 Camcorder
I've been buying camcorders since they've existed and every time I've brought a new camcorder home I've had the same experience, that is, the picture I saw on my TV never matched my expectations, it never even came close. I always hoped to see the quality of video I saw on the TV and news shows I watched and was always disappointed when the camcorder video quality always fell well short of that expectation. Until now! The Canon HV30's 1080i HD video quality on my 46" LCD screen is stunning, better ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Professional HD quality without the professional price tag
This year's version of last year's camcorder of the year ([...]) with a black paint job and the addition of 30p mode. Great camera.

Pros:
-Amazing quality HD video
-Uses more common video format than the AVCHD of it's hard drive and flash memory siblings with less compression artifacting and more compatibility with current video editing software (AVCHD editing is very CPU intensive and resource hungry. IMPORTANT: Premiere Pro CS3 and earlier DO NOT support this format without ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Difficult to use
The camcorder doesn't come with a shoulder strap. The viewfinder doesn't slide out, which makes it very difficult to use. The shape of the camcorder doesn't facilitate one hand use. This is my fourth camcorder, and this Canon is the least handy to use. The video quality is very good.
