HV20 is HDV which compresses to the rough equivalent of regular DV. You can get the camera (and a FW400 cable), plug it into your computer/hub (I've been told not to use them, but I do anyway) and pull it into FC in real time. We run the HV20 as a backup to our A1s (sometimes as a third camera too). With a bit of tweaking in color correction, it usually blends beautifully with our A1s. A1 is still the better camera (by far). The HV20 just does 80% of the work for you as far as getting really nice shots. Great consumer camera for point & shoot. It will not replace a camera with more manual controls. David,

But indeed, having a rig like the above just means you have the tools, doesn't mean you can build a house! But with tutorials like this: http://dvcreators.net/dv-enlightenment/ and other secret upcoming courses, world class quality is very possible!

As a Betacam SP user, I am impressed by the definition. But it's just that, a promo video. I doubt that you could get that finish with point and shoot mentality. I am sure a lot of time has been taken to tweak the camcorder to squeeze the most out of it's potential. Not too many indoor shots... is that an indication of its shortcomings?
