      Canon Vixia HV30

      By PJ Jacobowitz

      Review summary: Of the camcorders we've recently reviewed, there is only one whose image quality can rival our Editors' Choice Sony HDR-SR11 Handycam, and it's the Canon Vixia HV30 ($899 direct). So why doesn't Canon merit our coveted award? Operating a tape-based ...

      Pros: Excellent video quality. Good sound quality. Option to record in 24 progressive frames per second to create a film-like effect ;

      Cons: Menus and backup can be a drag. Video-editing software is not included ;

      Verdict: The Canon Vixia HV30 delivers excellent video quality, though recording video to miniDV tape feels low-tech and slows down your operation.

      Vixia HV30

      By Jim Feeley

      Review summary: Canon's tape-based Vixia HV30 camcorder ($1000 as of September 28, 2008) combines the aging medium with modern image processing to lay good-looking HDV video onto inexpensive MiniDV tapes.

      Pros: Easy to archive and edit HDV footage Bright, colorful video quality

      Cons: Bulky compared to tapeless camcorders Nonstandard accessory shoe

      Verdict: Unlike tapeless AVCHD camcorders, the HV30 moves HDV content linearly via FireWire instead of USB. Though not as slick as the random-access transfers on AVCHD models, the HV30's approach works with less-robust computers and a greater number of Windows ...
