my question is, what format does it record in? because i would need it to be able to edit on sony vegas on my computer and so it better be a compatible format
I still have a cassette camera for the moment, ill be getting this one soon. Just a question, the quality on my current camera is exellent when I watch it from the camera but for some reason the quality gets very bad once I put it on my computer. Is this because of the fact its a cassette camera ?
That’s enough for HDV probably.
For AVCHD, which this camera uses, forget it. A quad-core cpu and an HD-accelerated gpu and 4-6GB of memory is the ideal for fluid editing and playback.

and is there a white balance?
It’s been out almost a year! Hurry up canon and make the hg30. I am getting a new camera next month!
No, better off getting a HG20 as the CMOS sensor preforms much better in low light. Also has a bigger HDD
The Canon VIXIA HG-20 Records in AVCHD. Some versions of Sony Vegas will support it, but it has fairly steep system requirements.
I dunno what format, but u could always convert the file.
i would love to have this camera

I have the same problem… Powerful colors when I play it on the camera and a bad qualitiy when I play it on the PC.
Disappointed only because of AVCHD! Why not HDV? ((
dude my teacher told me that tapes>hd,cuz tapes produce better quality overall
its basically same just a tape, when u trasfer to pc its digital anyway
is this shockproof in anyway?
If you use Quicktime to watch videos, it automatically downgrades to Low Resolution, since Apple thinks we have jurassic computers.
I guess it’s just the player.
Got a question, what kind of spec. PC do you need to be able to edit HD footage?
My PC has a single-core Athlon 64 processor @ 1.8 ghz, 2 GB RAM, Geforce 6600 card.
Not sure if it will be able to handle it…
Thanks!
wat is the lens size
