Refurbished HV20′s For Less than $500!
It has only been a couple of years since WIRED rated the Canon HV20 the best camcorder on the market. In a world suffering from major attention deficit disorder this may the prospective new buyer to overlook this gem, but I can assure you that I am only still just beginning to explore the possibilities as I continue to shoot gorgeous looking 24p video – releasing music videos, short films and even feature lengths that even the pros can’t distinguish from cameras that cost thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars more.

Of course it requires some knowledge on the back-end to deliver top-tier content. Lighting, angles, mis-en-scene and color correction can have a huge influence on how the final product will look. But even if you are just shooting quick three minute video clips to post on YouTube, the HV20 will put you miles above the web-cammers.
All of this to say that these days you can pick one up, especially a refurbished model for less than US$500!
