    He commented on I'm torn on buying the New Canon HF10 or the HV20?? HELP PLEASE

    I went through EXACTLY the same story, same dilemma and I bought an HV30 and so far I'm happy I didn't go with AVCHD. 1. Capture doesn't bother me because *native* AVCHD support in popular/professional NLEs is very close to the prevalence of urban white owls but still couldn't match it... You will have to transcode your AVCHD no matter what which means you didn't lose any time. 2. In case you have one of those few NLEs then editing takes a well-built quad-core machine so some nice little laptop-based multi-stream editing is out of question due to AVCHD's enourmous hardware-requirements. Every render takes at 2-3x more time so with final export and assuming capture wouldn't take days at the end you probably lose some time compared HDV-based acquisition workflow. 3. Inverse telecine (lossless recovery of your native 1080p23.97 from 1080i60 HDV stream) is a PITA and still not available in every NLE but still far better than AVCHD support: Canopus apps are ready, AFX is ready, Premiere is ready (via CineForm which is an excellent grading-level codec), Apple is well, sort of ready (you have to use Compressor IIRC), Avid support is coming in June so while it's indeed awkward it's not a horrible story nowadays (unless you're Avid user like me!:D) 4. Picture quality of the HDV-based HV20/30 is still *unmatched.* AVCHDs still can't touch it, I think and only few of them supports 24p and 30p so that's another poin t for HDV. 5. Editing HDV isn't so tasking, you can do it even on a MacBook natively though when you're capturing it makes more sense to capture it into some DI format, I think.

    My thoughts exactly, I second this request.

    He commented on 60i Slowmo test - Canon HV20 HD

    CineMode has nothing to do with 24p - CM is essentially getting rid of all the video filters like sharpening etc.

    If you choose HDV - like this, without 24 or 30 - that's the default 60i (only on US/NTSC models, of course.)
