- Canon HV20
The Canon HV20 is an
HDV camcorder designed and manufactured byCanon Inc. Announced January 30th 2007, it is the first consumer-grade camcorder to shoot 1080p24. Consequently, it has become popular with low-budget film/video makers. It is the successor to theCanon HV10 , which was Canon's first consumer HDV camcorder.The NTSC-region camera shoots at
24p which gives a film-like look in PF24 mode, using 2:3 pulldown in a 60i stream. In PAL regions, it can record in native 25p mode and as such does not require the same pull-down removal techniques that the NTSC edition does. The camera is capable of recording in both HDV and DV formats, onMiniDV , though it's unable to record 24p in the DV format.The camera uses a 1/2.7"
CMOS sensor, which is shared with other consumerhigh definition cameras manufactured by Canon, such as theCanon HV10 ,Canon HR10 and CanonHG10 . The replacement for the HV20, the HV30, was released inMarch 2008 .External links
