Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Low Priced for the best camcorder Comment: I went through a lot of slow camcorders and atlast found this one as best. I was reviewing all camcorders compatible in HD with Hard Drive one's but found this so appealing at the provided price range. Only drawback that I came across is not having viewfinder. But I dont really require it as the screen is too good. 60GB is too much for my use. As a whole I like it and until next few years I dont want to loose this. Customer Rating: Summary: Canon VIXIA HG20 Camcorder Comment: Love it. Easy to use. Worth mentioning that if you have a Mac rather than PC, you'll need Leopard and iMovie 08 to use this camcorder with your computer. Customer Rating: Summary: Good value for money Comment: This video camera does all that it says, the only thing that is a bit of disappointment is the battery life. It hardly lasts about 60 mins in use. You would definitely need extra battery if you plan to use it for longer recordings. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Hardware lousy software Comment: This is a great camera. It's HD quality is very high and has a vast CCD so even when the camera is moved quickly you get a smooth video with little or no jerkiness. Great color and easy functionality. The software sucks however. There is really only one good way of getting video off the cam and Once off, it must be converted to anything other then it's native format if you are to do anything with it. I found a AVCHD converter online for about $50 which lets me convert it for my purposes. YouTube, iMovie and Adobe Premier. Each is a separate conversion which requires about 4 min processing for each min of HD video. That's with my 2.8Ghz QuadCore & 8gb's Ram on Windows Vista 64. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Camera Comment: After using tape for 2 years, I am thrilled how easy it is to transfer videos from the camera's hard drive to my computer, just drag and drop.
