The website certainly does cater to the consumer market rather than
professional buyers. In the past year this website did review both the Sony
FX-7 and the Canon XH A1, both of which sell for several times the price of
the HV-20, but I too find it hard to imagine that the "best HDV camcorder"
award includes comparisons to such prosumer products. I certainly prefer the
HV-20 to my older FX-1 but have no idea how well the FX-7 actually compares
to the HV-20. I gotta think that the award was not considering these higher
end cameras, but not really sure. I am sure from my own experience that Sony
was handed a pretty obvious defeat for its HC-5 and HC-7 alternatives, both
of which clearly lose in comparison to the HV-20 from my own experience and
use.
PTravel........Has your HV-20 arrived, and if so, any initial opinions of
it?
