On Compared to last year's model, HG10, which we also enjoyed a high, hard drive has been increased from 40 to 60 GB, the maximum bit rate from 15 to 24 Mbps, which is the maximum so far for the format of AVCHD. But at the same time, the video quality has not improved together with an increase in bit rate, so that it can not be the main argument for buying a model HG20. Again, the Canon felt in my hand cheaper than Sony. Creates an empty plastic unpleasant echo. But at the same time, the quality video is so clear and the colors are so vivid that it can not beat Canon any competitors.
We readily accept that the Sony HDR-SR12 a close rival Canon Vixia HG20, and that some even more like color reproduction and control Camcorder Sony, Canon but you can customize the color saturation and sharpness that makes shooting more flexible. By the way, Panasonic also added this option into their models, HDC-HS100 and HDC-SD100 ($ 966.59 MSRP). Menu navigation may confuse novices, but easy mode (Easy mode) is still good. Members of a complex manual control may experience difficulties with the joystick, as a sole means of control, but at the same time control options are excellent. Overall HG20 - very strong camcorder. It should also be noted that the updated model is almost identical to Canon HG21 Canon HG20, but is equipped with a viewfinder, as well as improved LCD-screen and a large hard drive to 120 GB. Its suggested retail price - $ 1,299, or $ 350 more than Camcorder Canon HG20, so many people apparently still prefer HG20.
