The canon vixia hv30 camcorder announced in 2008 is the successor to
well-acclaimed Canon HV20. The newest member of the Canon camcorder
line
incorporates the advanced features to ensure that the videographer in you gets the best in video and digital picture
quality. Yes, this camcorder combines the aging medium of documenting
videos with a more modern image processing. The end result is a pretty HDV video into a cost-effective Mini DV tapes.
This hv30 is simply the Canon hv20 with a few key features that
videographers will surely like. Some of the key features that can be
observed on the updated hv30 are the 2.96 Megapixel full high
definition CMOS sensor, the incorporation of the DGIC DVII image
processor and the addition of the Super Range Optical Image
Stabilization. The presence of the stabilizations is now seen in
almost all Canon entries since this allow users to capture only crisp
scenes and images no matter how shaky the position of the videographer
is. Recorded images and scenes can be previewed on the camcorder’s 2.7
inch Vivid Widescreen LCD monitor and users can also expect the high
definition video lens. The lens may be small and its 211,000 pixels
may not be of the highest resolution but this will be enough for
simple and average tasks like in focusing manually. Helpful
accessories like the shoe terminals are provided for. This Canon vixia
hv30 camcorder may not be the most cutting-edge Canon entry in the
market, but still this camcorder comes complete with features that
will make any videographers happy.

Write Your Camcorder Review Here: Knock-out HD video quality with new 30p feature which is better for web video and causes less blurring than 24p (But looks just as great). Sexy black finish. Great low light performance and top manual controls. Crystal clear LCD viewfinder.
But why no manual focus ring?? If a camcorder's this good, don't let it down with stupid omissions like that. Build quality is a bit on the flimsy side, but I would recommend this camcorder. It rocks!!!
