Canon HV20 Video Sample
So I just received my Canon HV20 and I took it to a local park to shoot a little test video with it. I captured the video using HDVSplit into .m2t format and then imported into Adobe Premier 2 to do my edits.
The video was shot in 24p however the 24p video stream is embedded in 60i. In order to get the 24p video you need to perform a 2:3 pull down to extract the 24p video from the 60i stream. I didn't get around to doing this but I'll try to mess around with that and upload it in the future.
This video was exported as a 640x480 .wmv however I kept the picture in the same 16x9 aspect ratio that the HV20 natively shoots in. If you have any questions or comments feel free, I'd love to discuss this camera with other Canon HV20 owners.

UPDATE:
So I've been asked a lot about my opinion on this camera since posting this clip and I thought I'd add my response to a fellow youtuber who asked me this very question.
__________________________________
What I can tell you is that I've been VERY impressed with the HV20. At the time that I bought it I must have downloaded every uncompressed video clip from every HD camera in the price range of the HV20 and read every thread talking about the camera. I even went down to Best Buy and held it in my hands and at the end of the day I decided to go with it over all the other cameras on the market.
Here are a few of my reasons for buying the camera....
1) It uses Mini DV tapes: I shoot A LOT of video and storing even compressed HD video can take up lots of hard drive space I have 6TB full of SD and HD videos! Mini DV tapes can be bought for a buck or two a piece and you always have a backup of your video once you've got it on your hard drive, just in case your hard drive ever crashes (which I've had happen and having tape backups is VERY nice!)
2) It has a hot shoe so you can plug in canon's shotgun mic and it will use your cameras batteries and record directly to the tape, no wires or anything. I compared a lot of shotgun mics for the camera and in the end I went with Canon's shotgun mic built for their cameras just because it wouldn't require extra batteries or wires and its worked more than adequately for me.
3) It has external mic inputs. Sometimes I shoot with wireless microphones and it's nice having mic inputs.
4) In the end it shot better video than every other HD camera in this price range at the time. I can honestly say I haven't regreted getting the camera EVER! I love the video it shoots and it's just been a really great camera. Oh and the LED light on the front is pretty nice, I've actually used it quite often for evening shooting just to highlight the persons face that I'm shooting. I really love having it and I can't imagine having a camera without a built in light now, DEFINITELY an added bonus.
I think the only complaint that I have with these line of HD cameras is the lack of a better manual focus ring. The manual focus wheel they have on the side works, but its hard to get a nice smooth transitioned focus. If it were a ring that you could turn with your hand it would be really nice. Other than that, I think that's my only complaint.
If you haven't heard about it there's a nifty adapter that lets you add camera lenses to get some really awesome depth of field shots. The adapter is called the Letus 35

Look for videos on here shot with the letus and the HV20, it will blow you away :) Here's a video that a guy shot using that setup.

Here's my video just at a higher resolution in case anyone wanted to see it.

I didn't have the original video on my hard drive anymore so I blew up the file I uploaded to youtube to fit vimeo's hd specs so the video has been stretched pretty far, but I think it still looks half way decent. Hopefully now that I found vimeo and can upload HD clips I'll get some more examples up on my vimeo profile :)
Anyhow, I don't think you'd regret getting this camera, and since it's got virtually the same specs as the newer cameras from what I can tell but is their older model, you can probably find it for cheaper.
Great camera for it's price!

Canon HV20 HD Camcorder - PMA 2007 Interview
The Canon HV20 HDV Camcorder brings the power of professional level HD recording to the consumer at a price that won't break the bank. The HV20 captures images in genuine HD resolution of 1920 x 1080, so you are shooting in real HDTV, all on a mini HDV tape. One of the biggest features this camera brings to the consumer camcorder market is the ability to capture in 24p, the same frame rate used in movie film.
Canon improves upon the standard CCD camcorders by using a 1/2.7" CMOS sensor to generate images. The 2.96MP CMOS sensor tends to process faster than a CCD for richer color and sharper detail. When you add a Canon Optics HD lens, 10x optical zoom and a DV II processor you get ultra-sharp color and incredible detail even from a distance. In order to ensure you get the highest possible video quality and picture Canon added an HDMI output and hot shoe terminal to the HV20.
As impressive as the HV20 is as a camcorder, it gets even better as a 3.1 megapixel digital still camera. Store images on tiny HC Mini-SD memory cards with the Mini-SD card slot. The optical image stabilizer and advanced AF auto focus make it easy to get crisp clean video and photos. Choosing and using the enhanced features such as Smooth Zoom Zebra Pattern and Level Shot Control, are easy thanks to the 2.7" LCD screen.
Canon fit everything you can ask from a camcorder in the HV20, all in a body that fits comfortably in your pocket. Now if they could only develop a "remove 10 pounds feature"...
