Portability and size is important, but the battery on this baby lasts a pretty long time. For those of you that might go out on long trails and excursions, here is the camcorder you’ve been waiting for. Using Lithium-Ion battery that is popular amongst consumer electronics. Its energy to weight ratios surpasses any other type of battery and keeps it’s charge the longest when not in use.

This particular feature is now often more precise than focusing on your own. The Canon HV20 offers it’s top of the line SuperRange (OIS) optical image stabilization that in essence combines gyroscope (a device for measuring or maintaining orientation) with image-sensors to give clear and crisp images through a wider range of camera motions.

In extreme bright and dark situations the AF helps keep sharp focus on your subjects, to allow you to make great memorable videos. The Canon HV20 makes a splendid camcorder for any HD recordings.
