Canon Vixia HV30 Review & Rating | PCMag.com
Excellent video quality...Good sound quality...Option to record in 24 progressive frames per second to create a film-like effect....Menus and backup can be a drag...Video-editing software is not included....All in all, the HV30 is well-built camcorder...The HV30 has both an optical viewfinder and a 2.7-inch LCD, which folds out of the camcorder's left-hand side and is bright enough...

Canon HV30 review - Camcorder - Trusted Reviews
Canon has clearly heeded the cliché ‘if it ain't broke, don't fix it' with the HV30...But for now, the tape-based format is a safer bet for editing, and if you want to make the best HD video without a professional price tag, the HV30 is the camcorder of choice...So if the HV20 offered nearly the pinnacle of high-end consumer HDV, is there any room for the...
