I'd like to ask for some possibly silly advice but please forgive my ignorance.
I have been using a Canon MV3i MC for a number of years and am now successfully able to make family movies and edit and render onto dvd via Adobe 6.5.
Its now time for a change and I have provisionally ordered a Canon HV20 but am having second thoughts. My thoughts are:
I do not have a HD TV or player at the moment but hope to in the future so am intrigued to know whether the SD quality of the HV20 would be better than a standalone SD camcorder. I am considering a Canon XM2 which although a few years old has had excellent reviews.
I am now very comfortable with my editing regime within Adobe 6.5. I also have Premiere Pro 2.0 but dont find it as user friendly but know I'll need it for HD video. My concern is that if I get the HV20 and a HD TV and record in HD I'll struggle to adjust to the editing requirements.
So my two main questions are:
1. HV20 vs XM2 (or something similar)?
2. Is the SD footage acceptable on the HV20?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks.
