OVR TP SD BK

THE GOOD
Excellent video quality; 60GB hard drive; attractive, understated design.

THE BAD
Wind filter not as dependable as previous Canon models; manual focus pretty useless.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Like its cousin, the flash-based HF11, Canon's Vixia HG20 delivers excellent HD video quality and performance albeit in a slightly larger, heavier package. However, you do get more storage space and a lower price.
