 Not much to say January 8, 2009
Librado Guillermo Reyes Palacios (Calexico, California United States)
There is not enough praise for this camera.
You heard it all, and it's true.
In HDV is the best bang for your buck.
Grab it while they last.
Canon Vixia HV30 miniDv high def camcorder January 8, 2009

The camcorder was a Christmas present for my son. He loves it!!!! It works great. The order came before Christmas, even though we were a little late placing our order.
 Great video ... bad firewire port January 1, 2009

I purchased the HV30 and fell in love at first video frame. Unfortunately, the honeymoon was soon over when I tried to edit. The firewire port on the camera failed after one edit session. This seems to happen frequently with the HV30 as evidenced by the number of owners seeking answers as to why it worked one day with their computers and not the next. Finding solutions are next to impossible though everyone tells you to try this and that. I know that it is not the computer's firewire because I'm able to connect my other video cameras without a hitch. I am sending it back to the factory for repair. I hope this was just part of a bad batch and not systemic.

RVTV (SANTA ROSA, CA USA)
Great camcorder. Small, great images, easy to use. I love the tape format. We use it to record for our school weekly TV broadcast and also to record the performing arts productions. Parents and students like the clarity of the picture.
 the good and the bad, mostly good December 31, 2008

the canon hv30 has worked fine so far, the image stablization is much better then my sony dvd 408 model which is why i bought it, the sony is better in low light but using zoom causes a digital shake so i bought the canon for sporting events and high light recording, the sony will be used in low light indoors without using any zoom, the canon's still pictures are better quality then the sony even though the sony is 4 megapixels and the canon is 3.3, i think,i bought the sony external microphone to help with the average audio and horrible wind noise outdoors,paid 80 dollars for it through amazon and it works great, recording to dvd recorder with the canon using the rca hookups produce a decent picture, but the sony using the s cable has a better picture probably because the s hookup is digital, i am ordering a dv input cable to record from the canon camcorder to a dvd player digitally so i expect the picture to improve once i do that, the sony has better hookups then the canon, and is better made, but the digital shake using zoom makes it useless for half of my video needs, its not the camera for i had sony send me a new dvd408 model and it does the same thing, but for high light video and still pictures i like the canon better, i have a sony tripod with the camera controls on the tripod handle which i love, and the canon does not work on it or any other tripod with handle controls, which really sucks, and the canon will come in handy when i finally go to high def., i record in high def. on the camcorder but record to dvd recorder so i don't get a high def. picture, but since i have a standard large screen tv it's no big deal, for the money the canon is recommended, stay away from the sony dvd 408 for the reasons listed above, i can't even sell it on ebay for i am afraid to make someone mad, so im glad at least it works indoors well as long as i use hardly any zoom, needless to say im done buying camcorders for a long time, these two will have to do, too bad sony's image stablization sucks otherwise it would have the canon hv 30 beat, but because of that the canon is better, i can use 40x zoom with no shake at all, love that
