Canon HF20 comes from a highly-praised, award-winning pedigree. It is being marketed as a less expensive alternative to our 2008 camcorder of the year, the Canon HF11. For an MSRP of $899 ($300 less than the HF11), you get an HD camcorder that’s stuffed with 32GB of internal flash memory and many of the features that made the HF11 such a popular choice for consumers. Be warned, however, Canon also did a fair amount of tinkering under the hood—and some of the results aren’t pretty. Compared to its older sister, the HF20 is a significantly worse low light performer and it consistently measured high levels of noise in our testing.
AVCHD camcorders come with a standard warning—the recorded footage can be very difficult to work with and edit on a computer. Now, if you’re just doing some minor editing, the AVCHD video probably won’t cause you much trouble. Be forewarned, however, all but the most robust computers will run into problems when working extensively with AVCHD.
