The new
HD Everio GZ-HD3
is a consumer-priced
high definition camcorder that combines a 3-CCD image
sensor, high definition 1440 x 1080 recording and embedded
60GB hard disk storage in a compact size that fits in the
palm of the hand. Built-in 60GB HDD for 7 Hours of
HD Recording
In addition to an SP mode that
allows up to about seven hours of HD
recording, the GZ-HD3 is also
equipped with an XP mode that
records at a higher bit rate for
those extra special scenes. There's
also a 1440CBR mode, which is
convenient for those who wish to
edit using HDV-compatible software.

Its a HDV camcorder - its a
digital still camera.
The Canon HV20 HDV Camcorder affordably delivers
brings the power of professional level HD recording.
The HV20 captures images in genuine HD resolution of
1920 x 1080, and can 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. You can use the camcorder as a 3.1
megapixel digital still camera. 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"...
