We use a HV20 at church, primarily as a 4:3 format camera with video output.
We don't use the built-in recorder.
The image quality was a fantastic upgrade over its predecessor, but I have
two complaints:
(1) The green square in the upper right hand corner, which I don't know how
to make go away.
(2) As a camera, it seems to have a lot of latency.

Any experience with the tele-adaptor? We use ours mostly to shoot at a
pulpit which is about 120 feet away, and the image quality at that distance
is reduced in quality (still worlds better than the predecessor), apparently
by operation at max zoom.
