Consumer HD(V)-Camcocrder?

Canon HV20 a $1100 HDV camcorder reviewed t hdvinfo.net. Some of its nifty features include: HDMI, 4-channel audio and 10x HD Lens w/ Super Range Optical Image Stabilisation. Canon’s 2.96 megapixel 1/3-inch CMOS sensor provides native 1920×1080 resolution.

Also found some lines written on the HV20 over at HD for Indies. And yes it will really boil down to what you need it for, with this 1/3 inch sensor you can’t have anything close to the quality of its big brothers, hence note the word consumer.
