Pros + Excellent resolution in brightness and color
+ Compact
+ Very good price / performance ratio
+ manual controls for shutter, focus and aperture
+ Custom Key
+ Many manual controls
Pros
Cons - small wide angle
- slight problems with reds
- over-simplified operation
- manual controls are a bit slow
- partially the operating procedures are not well conceived
- no 1/25 sec. shutter speed in cinema mode
- small wide angle
Cons
Conclusion Thanks to the excellent resolution of its CMOS the Canon HV20 makes almost full use of the HDV-system in brightness as well as color.Noticeable is the high resolution in diagonals.With enough light the HV20 makes a very clean picture, only in low light there is visible image noise.The optics has very little distorsion, but offers only a small wide angle.The GZ-HM400 got one of the sharpest images of its classToo bad you can no longer adjust the colors.The external controls will be interesting for people who like to manually adjust things and be in control.In addition to the slowness of the parameters, when filming, the user has to decide whether to use the fast white balance, focus help or custom keys.Otherwise it is back to the menu via laser touch controlsThe sensor´s high pixel resolution seems to reduce Canon´s usually excellent sharpness.Some missed functionalities like zebra or a manual control ring are back on bord.The menues are smoothly animated, but for examplethe intricate handling of the focus hinders a fluent workflowA little disappointing is that the big 1/2 sensor size doesn´t result in better low-light performance.So for some users Canon´s 2008 models will be more interesting, especially as these are decidedly cheaper.Conclusion
