Yes, Right on the side of the Canon HV20 camera a sticker says "1920 x 1080
HD CMOS", on a sticker that was attached to the camera when new it says
"Bring true 1920x1080 HD to life Canon HV20" and all over in the HDV
camcorder Instruction Manual:
Numerous times Under Menu Options Lists pages 35 & 36, and other places...

Canon's True HD CMOS Image Sensor (1920 x 1080)
Designed, developed, and manufactured by Canon for the EOS line of digital
SLR cameras popular with professional photographers and advanced amateurs
alike, Canon has created a 2.96 megapixel CMOS image sensor for the HV20 HD
Camcorder. The 1/2.7" CMOS image sensor acquires image information at 1920 x
1080, reproducing life-like HD movies and photos.
I've actually placed a phone call to Canon and spoke with some "so called"
technical support person there, in what I thought was great detail about
this. I asked what software I was supposed to use that could work with this
"true 1920x1080 HD" video and not reduce it's quality. The consensus at the
end of the lengthy phone call was that wow, it was too bad that no one was
making a software that was capable of handling the video from my new Canon
camera without reducing the quality of the original video...
