A cheap DV camera, some little Panasonic. Compared to a basic DV camera, the
HV20 difference is that all those neat HV20 features, like the anti-shake,
improved exposure control and focusing give visible benefits. On top of
that, the picture simply has more depth of contrast and resolution, even
while just in 4:3 and viewing via the composite output.

I think so. I'll see what I can do with one of the DVDs we make.

I think so, it is sort of like a vestige of the OSD for being in record
mode.

I think I lack the ability to monitor all outputs.

nNo, don't think so.

Yes, the composite output.

I think I lack any digital real-time video interfaces.

AFAIK, optical zoom.
