Good Luck on this one

Nice camera, good video, price ok, easy to shoot video but try and load it on your computer..go ahead and try. HORRIBLE. Now would you like to take a video and hand someone the flash card so they can send it to someone out of town....go ahead and try...HORRIBLE. The process is so not intuitive. I wish I had known this months ago when I bought it because I would have returned it quickly. What a mistake. I find regular cheap cameras easier to use than this thing...at least I can make a video and just pass the stupid thing out on a flash card. Ive been working on this for 4 hours now and Im bummed out.
Pros: Compact Design, excellent image quality, durable, Ergonomic/comfortable to hold, Easy TV Connectivity, easy to use
Cons: Difficult Computer Connectivity, Short battery life, Limited Software Compatibility
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Its easy and fun to use but I am realy haveing a hard time using the softwere it came with to transfer and play the videos. When I transfer onto my computore i can only seem to get jpeg quality not HD and when i play it back on my comp it looks so choppy and skipping and sound not with video. I get a better smoother video from youtube. Anyways I'm hopeing i'm just not doing something right cause when i play it back on the cam it looks great smooth and clear. I videod on the fxp mode . if anyone can help please let me know what i need to do i also tryed importing with windows media player and movie maker no luck there either cann't figure how to import and save on my pc at a better grade then jpeg. help anyone! If i could figure this out then i'll be happy and rate this cam great.

NO AUDIO AFTER DOWNLOAD

The HF20 comes with bundled software including the player "imagemixer 3". The problem is -it plays the files downloaded from the camera without sound.

Should have researched it more

I purchased this camcorder after Thanksgiving because I wanted to record in HD. The only problem is, you can not make a HD DVD. I have a Mac and the iMovie editing feature is good but when you transfer the movie over to iDVD you can only make a standard definition DVD. Why buy a HD camcorder if you can't make a HD DVD. Your better off buying one of the cheaper camcorders that aren't HD.
Pros: Easy Computer Connectivity, Accurate, Vivid Colors, Compact Design, excellent image quality, easy to use
Cons: Short battery life

Over all love the hd cam, I only have one prob. When I use the fade-in option to record I dont like I have to view the clip to see what it is because they're all blank when I review the thumb-nail clips.
Pros: option packed
Cons: thumb-nail are blank when i use the fade-in to rec
I would recommend this to a friend!
