Canon Vixia HG20 Camcorder Introduction by Skywalker2010
Canon is once again a leader in whatever camcorder category it enters. The HG20 Canon Camcorder Battery Charger isn’t perfect – the construction quality feels less than top-notch and the zoom motor is noisy. However, the excellent video performance, powerful manual controls, and choice of 1080/60i, 30P, or 24P frame rates make it one of the strongest choices in hard drive camcorders, even against the excellent Sony HDR-SR11 and HDR-SR12.
Overall, the Canon HG20 looks a little chunky, and it feels that way in the hand. It’s quite a bit larger than its sister model, the Canon HF11, presumably to make room for the HG20’s internal hard drive. That’s not to say that the size is a bad thing. In fact, many users will likely prefer the additional surface area for gripping. The overall design is one we’ve seen before, in which the body is ‘bisected’ between a large, rectangular area on the right side and rounded shape on the left side influenced by the lens barrel.
The front of the camcorder is pretty active. The lens itself is the dominant feature – an f/1.8-3.0 lens with a focal range of 4.8 – 57mm. Next to the lens is a flash, and above that is the external sensor for the Instant AF system, a Canon Camcorder Charger specialty feature. Below the lens is a stereo microphone, which is well placed and unlikely to pick up all the noise from your hands scraping the camcorder. The right side of the Canon HG20 is a large, flat swath of plastic; arching high above the lens barrel and curving steeply back down on top to provide a solid finger grip. The hand grip is thick and well-padded, and also smartly placed so the natural balance of the camcorder is centered, rather than tipping away from the hand like so many camcorders do.
There are two sets of ports on the right side. Towards the front of the body, a hard plastic port cover opens to reveal three jacks: an AV/headphone-out, component-out, and a mini microphone jack. The ports are well-positioned so that cords will not get in the way of the lens. Towards the back of the right side, another hard plastic port cover reveals a mini-HDMI connection.
The back of the Canon HG20 is fairly simple. A mode dial is located here to switch between Video Record, Video Playback, Still Record, and Still Playback modes. In the center is the record on/off button. Below the dial is a hard plastic port cover concealing the DC-in power Canon Battery Charger? Above the mode dial is an indicator light that blinks when the HDD is busy. The rear of the camcorder is also where the battery is located. The battery chamber is open, meaning that you can use extended life batteries that will jut out from the body a little further. The included BP-807 battery sits flush against the surface of the back.
