Canon HV20 great for travel
(kbartel - 7/7/09)Although I miss the professional features of smooth zooms and easy controls, the Canon HV20 was a great travel camera for my safari in Kenya. There are great advantages to "looking like a tourist" and this camera looks like "amateur equipment." That allowed me to get away with shooting people and situations that would be a problem for a "professional" crew. The image quality was excellent, the mic port was a great way to get sound, and it withstood lots of handling and carrying.
