Pls help to decide: HV20 vs. HC7

The range of adjustability that the A1 possesses, individual buttons to control unique functions, focusing rings etc. etc. These are all things I've seen people hope for in many different threads. Chris already mentioned why Canon won't include LANC in a cam of this type, so if that's a biggie you need to shop outside the Canon family.

I'm not going to get drawn into this debate... if you guys are happy with the questionable design (for the lack of a more direct phrase) of the HV20 then all I have to say is that you are a little too easy to please.

I for one expect more for my money.... and I am entitled....if you want to lay down and settle... well that's your right too.

It's amazing to me that someone can so consistently knock the 'build quality' or 'questionable design' of this unit, but when asked to specifically reference actual tangible issues, he can't. And if you told my wife that in the area of video I was 'too easy to please', she would laugh you out of the room. It's hard to find someone more anal about this stuff than me.

It's amazing to me how ridiculous some of the posts are that I've had to take out of public view. Stubborn people need to realize that they can't change the minds of other stubborn people. Case closed,
