type='html'>
Canon HG20 camcorder with hard drive is a great choice for many users, and those advanced amateurs. The possibility of recording in Full HD resolution and fantastic quality, we must bear in mind, and built-in 60GB hard drive. The reputation of the manufacturer is seen by all fully justified.
Canon is one of the most famous names in the world of photography, but when comes to camcorders. For a long time started the transition to a digital format, and current models of water battle in the field of HD resolution. The model that we tested, HG20 is a successor of HG10 last year, with slightly altered design, and a few very important things that are new, such as for example, embedded hard disk capacity of 60GB. This camera supports 1080/60i, 30P and 24p mode and a lot of good manual control, which means it will probably be interesting to advanced users who prefer compared to Control.

This camera may be slightly higher than the model that we have recently seen, as the result of an integrated 60GB hard drive. The other side is not bad, because the camera easier to hold (anyone with a little larger hands who kept some of the newer ultra-compact model will definitely surprise). A good grip will help and excellent, set belt. The front is the lens aperture (f/1.8-3.0, 4.8 - 57mm), flash (very large volume) and Instant Auto Focus sensor system. Below the lens is the stereo microphone, which is well positioned as not pick up noise from handling the camera. The right side is a large area (plastic with texture also plays a significant role in ergonomics), and two compartments below which are AV / Headphones, Mic and Component, and a separate mini-HDMI connector.
With the back of the battery are housed, Mode Dial to select mode (Video Record, Video Playback, Still Record, and Still Playback) and the Record button. There is a plastic cover under which the power connector (adapter supplied in the package). The good thing is that the battery protruding from the rear, so it will not detract visually or functionally. The top button is for shooting and zoom lever-key. Although the zoom is not the quietest we have seen, it is fast and accurate, so you get an excellent rating. Up and connector for external flash (unfortunately, pasuju only Canon flashes), which is located under the plastic cover that rotates to download.
The left camera is Wide 2.7 "LCD screen with 211,000 pixels resolution which is pretty good, which is very important because there is no classical optical sought. For navigation and control using a miniature joystick, and below the screen are five buttons (four for the control Played one function to access the menu). The camera body (the part that covers the LCD when it is made) are two more buttons, Easy (the Easy mode of activation is automatic) and disp / Batt key that fell off and screen and displays information about the battery. There is also a small speaker, mini-USB connector and a slot for SDHC memory cards.
The camera uses a 1/3.2 "CMOS sensor 3MP (identical model HF11), which is enough for great results. The colors and sharpness are the stronger side of the camcorder, so you will hardly find any any objections, offers, especially if compared with the competition, to ie models with hard drive. What can be said immediately that the weak performance by the excellent lighting and that the HG20 briljirati. In combination with a fairly precise automatic White Balance settings, it gives excellent results in a fairly wide range of situations. image stabilization works very good job, STIM, which will be the size and weight of cameras play a significant role (in the positive sense). The camera records video in AVCHD format (in maskimalno 24Mbps, which specify the new task of the competition), and only need to know that the video must be converted to AVI using additional software. There are 5 degrees of compression, and we will only say that the maximum quality, the 60GB hard drive fits 330min material, while the lowest can be saved 1375min.
Summary
Bundles obtain the necessary cables (except of course the HDMI's), discs with accompanying software and small and very practical remote control. What you should know that the camera captures the material and SDHC cards without any restrictions. We liked the fact that there is a lot of manual settings, and they will be more adept and creative, and further affect image quality. One thing is certain, this camera offers many opportunities for the less experienced who just need to press the record button Easy. Image quality is such that it really has nothing to add or take away, except the conclusion that this model of the cameras with integrated drive the one that would at this point and choose.
