Bob,

The Canon HG10 is a camcorder which records AVCHD-format high definition
video to a built-in hard disk, rather than HDV-format video to a minitape
like the HV20, For various reasons, the HG10 produces inferior quality to
the HV20, but offers some advantages which some folks prefer. It is thus
marketed along with the HV20 as an alternative high-def camcorder

I am not aware of the Canon HD20 you refer to. To my knowledge there is no
such model.
