 Canon VIXIA HG20 AVCHD 60 GB HDD Camcorder with 12x Optical Zoom January 9, 2009
R. Long (MN)
This is an amazing camcorder. Very compact, powerful, and a lot of features/settings. Produces video quality second to none. I would recommend buying a second battery if you will be using the camera for extended periods of time.
 Low Priced for the best camcorder January 8, 2009
Prase (USA)
I went through a lot of slow camcorders and atlast found this one as best.
I was reviewing all camcorders compatible in HD with Hard Drive one's but found this so appealing at the provided price range.
Only drawback that I came across is not having viewfinder. But I dont really require it as the screen is too good. 60GB is too much for my use.
As a whole I like it and until next few years I dont want to loose this.

T. Melton (Leavenworth, WA)
Love it. Easy to use. Worth mentioning that if you have a Mac rather than PC, you'll need Leopard and iMovie 08 to use this camcorder with your computer.
Good value for money January 6, 2009
kipling (novice)
This video camera does all that it says, the only thing that is a bit of disappointment is the battery life. It hardly lasts about 60 mins in use. You would definitely need extra battery if you plan to use it for longer recordings.
Great Hardware lousy software January 6, 2009
Sean Reichle (San Francisco, Ca.)
This is a great camera. It's HD quality is very high and has a vast CCD so even when the camera is moved quickly you get a smooth video with little or no jerkiness. Great color and easy functionality.
The software sucks however. There is really only one good way of getting video off the cam and Once off, it must be converted to anything other then it's native format if you are to do anything with it. I found a AVCHD converter online for about $50 which lets me convert it for my purposes. YouTube, iMovie and Adobe Premier. Each is a separate conversion which requires about 4 min processing for each min of HD video.
That's with my 2.8Ghz QuadCore & 8gb's Ram on Windows Vista 64.
