Pros + excellent resolution in brightness and color
 
Cons - small wide angle
- dull audio section
 
Conclusion Thanks to the excellent resolution of its CMOS the Canon HV30 makes almost full use of the HDV-system in brightness as well as colorNoticeable is the high resolution in diagonals.In lowlight situations the performance is only average.The lens shows little abberations, but offers only a small wide angle.
