Canon HV20 HDV Camcorders For YouTubersCanon HV20 HDV Camcorders For YouTubers
Dear Mister Canon, a bunch of us here on YouTube are already shooting on your marvellous new Canon HV20 HDV camcorder and (as Maxwell Smart would say) “Loving It”. We have an idea for an on-going series that will show people how to use the Canon HV20 HDV camcorder and how to compress and upload to YouTube. Here’s a chance for you to sell more HV20s and to show the world what a bunch of nice guys you are. Call me…we’ll do lunch…all we want is a lousy couple of cameras and some ongoing support - and just think of the benefits to you.

If you Google “CanonHV20″ you’ll see we pretty-well own the first two pages - even bumping www.canonhv20.com off the top spot. So that’s part of the strategy - we’re hoping Canon will notice these videos and come to the party.

If you want to score a new Canon HV20 HDV camcorder - start uploading some funny and/or creative footage as a video response. ‘Cause if (or when) this thing works we’re going to need a bunch of people to make this series.

Are we out of our collective minds? Quite possibly…but if you don’t try…

We actually do have the concept nutted out and we’ve written the scripts for the first series. Now all we need is a few more High Definition Cameras (this is where you come in Mister CANON).

This footage was shot on CanonHV20, edited on iMovie on the Mac. Speeded up (obviously) and compressed on Quicktime’s brilliant H264 (which YouTube are using for the iPhone). 2:20 minutes compressed down to 57.3MB from the original 8.77Gb. Using multi-pass “Best”, 30 fps and a custom size of 480×270 (16:9 aspect ratio).

à bientôt, Malkie, Paris (aka “Wallyworld” at YouTube)

The Canon HV20 HDV Camcorder brings the power of professional level HD recording to the consumer at a price that won’t break the bank. The HV20 captures images in genuine HD resolution of 1920 x 1080, so you are shooting in real HDTV, all on a mini HDV tape. One of the biggest features this camera brings to the consumer camcorder market is the ability to capture in 24p, the same frame rate used in movie film.

Canon improves upon the standard CCD camcorders by using a 1/2.7″ CMOS sensor to generate images. The 2.96MP CMOS sensor tends to process faster than a CCD for richer color and sharper detail. When you add a Canon Optics HD lens, 10x optical zoom and a DV II processor you get ultra-sharp color and incredible detail even from a distance. In order to ensure you get the highest possible video quality and picture Canon added an HDMI output and hot shoe terminal to the HV20.

As impressive as the HV20 is as a camcorder, it gets even better as a 3.1 megapixel digital still camera. Store images on tiny HC Mini-SD memory cards with the Mini-SD card slot. The optical image stabilizer and advanced AF auto focus make it easy to get crisp clean video and photos. Choosing and using the enhanced features such as Smooth Zoom Zebra Pattern and Level Shot Control, are easy thanks to the 2.7″ LCD screen.

Canon fit everything you can ask from a camcorder in the HV20, all in a body that fits comfortably in your pocket. Now if they could only develop a “remove 10 pounds feature”…
