Great Choice
I know that these are no longer on the open market, so my review is simply to explain why I think these are an excellent value on the used market.

A bit out of date, but still a decent camcorder.
A bit out of date, but still a decent camcorder. It shoots fine, I have a 35mm DOP adapter on it, with some Canon EF lenses on it, plus a mattebox.

Canon HV20
Great HD camera. This is my first camcorder I have ever owned and I love being creative with the HV20. When I first noticed the quality when I plugged the camcorder into an HD TV I was amazed..we all were!

Just get one already...
I'm going to keep this short because there are several longer reviews that you can read.
Basically, if you want to get into some cheap indy filmmaking, or just want a good home movie camera, this is the one.

Beware: motor noise ruins your sound recordings
After 2 years with my HV20, I'm splurging on a new SDHC flash drive camera, because of all the HV20 motor noise, which ruins my video sound recordings.
