Canon VIXIA HF20 HD Dual Flash Memory With 32 GB Internal Memory And 15x Optical Zoom
Compact and lightweight.. excellent feature set.. I do not miss the view finder. Once you get used to the controls and follow along in the manual for a few minutes you get the interface. Everything defaults to automatic but you can adjust focus, mic levels, aperture and shutter speed in a couple clicks of the thumbstick. Picture quality is great, of course, even at non HD quality. I didn't install the bundled software - there is free video editing software from Microsoft called Live Movie Maker that works perfect for PCs and can automatically upload to YouTube. For bigger jobs I got Sony Vegas 9 - I tried them both out and they work fine. I can see battery life being a problem but I haven't been too far from an outlet for it to totally run out. I did run out of internal memory but syncing to the PC is easy. I love the internal memory and I like not having a hard drive in there. Very happy with the decision to go with the HF20.
