Deal of the Day #2 - 4/20/09

Hi All,

If you are looking to get into HD Video, then this is the deal for you. Canon is selling their HV20 HD Camcorder for $399.99. It is a Canon refurbished camcorder, sold by Canon, that uses MiniDV tapes for the recording medium. This is the best overall media as it is cheap, widely available, and the most durable over time.

It also shoots 1080p. The highest resolution that any consumer TV can currently handle.

The cheapest I could find this model for was $490, and that was used. The new model, the HV30, is $599 new, and it does not really offer any features to warrant the cost.

You can find reviews here, and here.

If you want a quick review, read this. The whole article is a bit dated, but the part on the HV20 is still spot on. Notice the price difference :-). It is funny what almost 2 years do to electronics prices.

You can find this deal here.

Later,

John
