Bogus HV50 (was: Interesting!)
I saw this over at digitalcamcordernews (are we allowed to advertise other sites!) - looks like a 3 chip version of the HV20 - everything else looks pretty much the same, except for the colour/design ?

Hv50
Fascinating! Note that it's labelled an HV50. Also it offers 18x zoom (as opposed to the HV20's 10x zoom). This is the first I've heard of such a camera.

Hi,
looks good, but where is the internal mic? Can't see it on the photo. |

Moved from Canon HDV to Area 51. Note that 1080p is *not* part of the HDV specification.
Those would be some tiny little chips to get 18x zoom from a 43mm front... I smell a hoax... |

I think you may be right Chris. Note it says 720p also and Canon has never offered 720p have they? Then Again, if you have 1080p why would you need 720p?

It may not be a hoax.
It may not be a hoax. I do not know enough about lens sizees and chips, but the html text and art around the camera says 1080p, but no where on the camera does it say 1080p. But if it's a hoax, nice photshop job.

There will be a release of a new camera late August to September 2007 for the consumer. My bets are on this one. I have this from a very reliable source.

Hey Lou, you said that two HDV cameras would be released after April 1st in this thread. The HV20 is obviously one of them. Any word on the other one?
Btw, this August marks Canon Inc.'s 70th anniversary. |

Looks real ( the photo ) but the surrounding info has to be incorrect. Looks like canon will take over the video market like it has dominated the still market. It would be sooo cool if the 720p was right , coupled with 24/30p . That's what holds me down for the hv20 - no 30p . Don't understand it if the chip is progressive - why canon ? Of course if they give us everything on a consumer camera , who would want an H1 .

From the same site:
http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/3558/hv50nue4.jpg Same picture bit a little clearer. It is essentially the same as the HV20 but the microphone is missing (???) and the still camera is 5 mega pixels + 3 chip + bigger zoom and a 'cinescan-P' lock switch (??????) - also a bigger eye cup on the view finder. Look like a real photo to me not a 3D mock up, but who knows maybe it is a hoax ? I think we said the very same thing about the HV20 in the first week or two of the initial rumours ??? Questions, Questions ! |
