It doesnt seem to want to talk to iMovie - do i really need Final Cut or an alternate editing program? Does anyone know why I cant get my imac (osx 10.3) to recognise my HV20.

Having played with the DV Canon GL and XLs, I'm totally thrilled with this camera. You MUST read the manual, as it is not out of the box intuitive. Complaints have been that you can't lock exposure, but you can. You set shutter (TV) to 60, and then you can press the func button while shooting to lock the exposure as +1 or -1, what have you. I'm still figuring out the final cut pro workflow. My only capture preset is HDV, which is kind of lame given I shot 24P. All said, give Custom Supply a call. They are legit, and they filled my order fast. Best, Anthony - Barrio Boys dot com I received my HV20 for $950 from Custom Supply, INc 205.252.0141 tonight, Apr 11 07.

I bought the HV10 and loved it, but found the vertical design difficult. I thought out ebaying it for one of these, but decided to save my washingtons for an XH-G1 instead.

The problem with the Sony HD camera is that it outputs the HD content in a format nothing can edit (but the camera) and to output it to something editing software can use, it uses lower quality mpeg 1.

Are you going to publish some of your stuff on the web? If so, you may want to invest in either Flash 8 or On2 Flix to get your files into flash (much better publishing options).

It's the classic curse of smaller cameras but with the kind of resolution they're touting these days I can't help but hope it's clean at any focal length, zoom or aperature. Have fun.
