(5 out of 5) by Robin Hood on Jun 20, 2008 (North Lincolnshire United Kingdom)This camcorder is well worth the money, if like me, you are looking for good quality DV for editing and putting it on standard DVD then look no further.
The sound recording is a bit 'ify' but then so is all small camcorder sound. Get a decent external mic to go with it and you've got a wow! combination. I saw one review which says the HV20 has no earphone socket, this is not true as it has a combo line out/headphones socket which you can select from the menu.Anyway It has HDMI or Firewire, so why would you want line out?
I tried the HDMI on an HDTV and it was brilliant but I think high def. editing is some way off yet for most people, it is for me.
I'm happy with the true widescreen DV capture and sound from my external mic and I hope to get lots of good footage to edit from it.
