As everyone here knows, I am far from a professional, either in skill,
experience or knowledge. However, I've hit a significant problem with the
HV20 that may result in my returning it.
Short version: there are significant motion artifacts in high-frequency
detail, not unlike what you see with a Bayer-filtered single-CCD SD
camcorder. The problem is dramatic on the camera's HDMI output, far less
visible on component out. I'm still trying to figure out whether it's caused
by over-sharpening in the camera, lousy HDMI circuitry, or something odd
with my television.
I've discussed it at length here:

Since these videos are for my own personal use only, I may keep the camera
as long as it looks good on the component output. However, I'm going to do
so more tests this weekend. If the output continues to display these
signficant high-frequency motion artifacts, I'm returning it and waiting
until next year to buy either an AH1 or FX7.
I'm really disappointed -- I had high hopes for this machine.
