Canon HV30 High Definition Camera Review:

Although there isn't much more information I could provide that google doesn't offer, I'm here to offer you all a hands on user experience of the Canon HV30, the best product for it's value you will ever find.

Why is the Canon HV20/30/40 the best camera to purchase?

-To begin with, the picture quality is simply AMAZING, and it provides dozens of filming modes to enhance your image for any situation you are recording in. (Modes include TV Mode, Cine Mode, Sports Mode; sunset, snow, etc). You can scroll through these options and instantly see a preview of how your footage will appear.

-It's easy to use! Any average Joe could pick up this camera and figure it out with ease, the camera is as simple as the press of a button, and to browse & configure the options it's only a click away. It doesn't come as simple as the Canon HV series.

- Attachments; The attachment possibilities is what separates the Canon HV30 from other camcorders, there is no limit to the professionalism you can accomplish if you put the money into it. It starts with audio, you can equip your canon with a basic rodeo videomic, to get your basic sound above the quality of it's in-built microphone. From there, you can purchase boom sticks, corded mic's, poles, anything you wish is compatible with the Canon. NOW the real difference it DOF (Depth of Field) adapters, a product available to instantly make your footage professional looking. The adapters range from Jag35 to the almighty Letus adapter, which costs more than the canon itself. When you own an adapter, it is very simple to attach to the Canon HV30, and once it's on you just apply any canon lense you desire to have complete manual control of the focus and depth of your picture. Possibilities with these products are endless, and is the top notch gear you can have for the most professional short films produced.

- Online support; because the canon HV series is so popular and demanded, it has it's very own online forum where you can go there to discuss technical issues, updates and attachments for your camera, tips and tricks to help you achieve the best quality you can, and even a section where all HV20/30/40 users from the world share their Canon HV30 footage. It's a great site, a great community, anyone is welcome to post there and share their latest works, check it out here:

  • The only attachment I have is a lens hood off ebay.

  • I only used a widescreen canon lens for this, I got 1 DOF adapter but never use it cuz i hate shooting upside down lol

  • DOF adapters are overrated.

  • The expensive ones aren't (letus)

  • u dont have to shoot upside down.. they have flip modules for DOF adapters.. its worth it

  • I think it's better goin all out and buying a more expensive DOF adapter, so much more easier than attachment after attachment

see all

  • this isn't a review.

  • hi nice video one question did you do any color correction on the video if yes what are settings? Thanks

  • you inspire me to do something similar, Thank you.

    p.s - whats the title of the music audio?

  • Almost every single shot in the beginning was overexposed.... is that normal?

  • @InnovateDesign this isnt the best anymore its the hdc-tm700 its top in alot if websites plus this camera isnt digital

  • This is probably the best camera you can buy for the price.

  • Are you talking about the over exposed flowers that start your piece? The whites seem consistently blown out on this video. Not sure why this is "the one to get" Or is this just what Youtube does to this products output?

  • Who is that monster-epic track by?? GOOD-GAWD is it amazing!!

  • How much does this type of camcorder cost and where do i go to buy one?

  • MY DAD IS IN THE DAMN TRAIN!
