Canon VIXIA HV30

Jan 7, 2008 at 8:28 pm in cinematography, digital video news by · 4 Comments »

Canon announced several new camcorders at CES, including the HV30.

You know how excited we are about the HV20. It’s the best imaging for under $1000 ever in the history of the human race. The HV30 is the same, except adds a couple things, a better flipout screen, 30p, support for a larger battery, and it’s black, so it looks a little more professional.

More info on Canon’s site, also see the HV20 post.
