On the HV20 I have a hard time (not horrible, but could be better) actually using the manual focus because the LCD in it's open position interferes with the manual/auto focus toggle button. Also I find it a little difficult to get to the focus dial when the LCD is open. I think if that ring dial on the LCD is smooth and offers enough adjustability it'd be the preferred location, at least for me, not sure what others' thoughts are.
Also I never use MF without the focus assist function and on the HV20 the focus assist button is on the LCD so it's strange to hit that on the LCD, and then go to the focus dial, if this was handled in a closer proximity then it would be more convenient. If the camera would only record 24p files instead of 60i files... sigh. |

Focus Issue
Wes:
As fars as HV20, the focus assist wheels some of us have been rigging seem to work pretty well. I m shooting with 35mm adapter most of time, so it isn't big issue with me, but manual focus can be handle pretty nicely with a fairly inexpensive mod to the HV20. This new set up on the HG10 looks like that will be out the door....

1920x1080
Looking at the Canon Mini site for this camera, it now says "Canon Exclusive 1920x1080 " so is this 1440x1080 or 1920x1080 ? It seems to be confusing at this point.

No confusion -- see http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showpost....7&postcount=26
1920 x 1080 is the native resolution of the CMOS sensor. It's recorded as 1440 x 1080 anamorphic. |

Native resolution of CIS (cmos image sensor) is more than 1920x1080.
Possible its 2048x1440. Look at max res. in photo mode to know real resolution of CIS. For video mode used only ROI 1920x1080. Type 1/2.7" CMOS Total pixels 2.96 megapixel Effective pixels HD MOVIE: Approx 2.07 megapixels STILLS: 2.76 megapixels |

focus assist
focus assist engages automatically when you flip into manual focus (when not recording) and spin the wheel, but from what Chris and I could tell there is no peaking, only magnification...

Could I assume that this new camcorder will be able to use everything (lenses, shoe accessories, batteries) that the HV20 can?

ive noticed that the HG10 has HDMI out
is it possible to bypas compression and record to a laptop using a better compression method? as you can do with the HV20 i would prefer this over the HV20, but only if you can do that |

You would need some card for the laptop
The only HDMI card I know of is the Intensity and that is a PCI card. |
