Pros + Excellent resolution in brightness and color
+ Compact
+ Very good price / performance ratio
 
Cons - small wide angle
- slight problems with reds
- over-simplified operation
 
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.
