Canon HV series -- various sample clips
 

great videos !

Thanks for the link.

Footage is very impressive. As good as the XL H1 I think - except in low light scenes, but still good.

Sample Footage
 

I'll qualify this post at the outset by saying that I am a rank amateur when it comes to all of this. That being said, I am fortunate enough to be the new owner of a Canon HV10 (recieved on Thursday from BH) and an Apple Mac Pro. If someone wants to tell me what to capture (how long, what settings, export to what format, etc. ) and provide a place to post it, I'd be willing.

Congrats, on the new HV10! And welcome to (H)DV Info Net.!

Some more HV10 Samples
 

I got a chance to take the HV10 on a real shoot. The following are examples from the HV10.

Link # 2

Unfortunately, everything on the camera was set to 'Auto'', as we had to take care of other 6 cameras first, but I am quite surprised with the quality of the video. It is as good as our other HDV cams. The one thing that I am not too fond of, is the overblown sky. I guess it's time to get an ND filter.

The above links are in WMV. So, if anyone wants any different formats, please let me know.

Best,

New 1080p sample using Zudeo
 

Hi chaps

just been experimenting with different ways of sharing content.
I have discovered Stage6 which is like you tube but HD - only catch is content has to be divX and up to 2GB (although 1080HD is now supported with 6.4)

Also there is Zudeo which is another similar thing but uses Bitorrent but much simplified and easy to use. The advantage to this is that you can use any any file format and any size.

Anyway here is a link to my first upload to Zudeo

http://www.zudeo.com/az-web/details/...VREV2ERKA.html

Its just a short clip encoded at 1080p wm9 advanced codec at 12.5mbs

Cheers
Fergus

Here is the same clip without the colour grading and encoded as 1080 DivX at 6 mbs uploaded to stage6:

Fantastic stuff!

Great footage! I'm so loving my HV10. Now that Christmas is passed and we are back from our trip, I plan on getting to know this camera of mine and will share some samples as well!

Thanks.

Fireworks!
 

Hello everybody and a happy newyear :-) .
I decided to post a video from last evenings fireworks here in Amsterdam.
I dropped the audio cos i was talking to much and well who wants to hear my voice anyways. So i hope you like it a bit. The file was rendered in Sony Vegas 7 as HDV 1080-24P intermediate. (On a P4 3.0 ghz , 1gb memory.)
Cheers,
Edwin

Hope it works.

Cool. What mode did you use? Auto or the Fireworks setting?

Just downloading the clip at the moment

I used the fireworks mode.
Please don't expect professional shooting from me, i am just an amateur.
Cheers
Edwin

First HV10 720p sample
 

Nice footage.

Auto settings?

You are one brave dude to get your camera that close to your dog while he's kicking up all that sand!

this is from my previous post asking how to encode:

I like he camera so far. The images are great in light. The low light is good, but you can't use auto or it will appear grainy with lines. Some of the presets are better in low light. I am not used to having little control over a camera. It will take some time learning to dumb down a bit. The least professional video camera I have used is a canon gl1, so I am so spoiled by having the complete control of ENG cams. All my clips are on auto. I can't wait to show them off. This camera really is a bang for the buck. Definitley a great family or B camera!! Not pro at all, but a good camera.....

Great shots Mike and bravo on being brave enough to take your camera near sand. :)

What settings did you manually control in low light and which ones worked well as auto?

thanks,
elmer

HV10 footage by a friend of mine
 

see http://moriz.hosted.smooth.im/video/airport2_big.mpg

seems to be his first try - and he strongly needs a tripod ;-)

That's a very large file (1.5 GB)... do you have a smaller version?

1,490 mb !!!!!!!!

Even on my brand new 8mb broadband connection that is coming up as a 2 hour 12 minute download !!!

How long is the footage ?

around 8 minutes

if you open the url within VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/, freeware) you can watch while downloading and quit if you don't like it.

HV20 Hi-res images
 

Hi All,

having read the promising specs over and over again, and knowing that it'll take a while until we can actually hold the HV20, I thought it couldn't hurt to search and get a better picture of the externals of this promising cam.

And yes, at the German Canon site I found some higher-res images, for a closer look at the HV20:

http://www3.canon.de/pro/vid/dig/hv_20/foto_hv_20

This machine looks good! (Although I still have to get used to the 'double-body' design) It even seems many of the buttons are actually made of some alloy, not plastic.

I'm also glad they did not implement the blue-lit HDV logo the HV10 has (or could that be desabled).

I think that in the looks-department, Canon beats Panasonic and Sony hands down. Anyone? :)

Actually I like the Blue-Lit HDV logo. However, yes, you can disable it if you so desire.

Well everyone his or her preference, of course. I don't own an HV10, so who knows what I would've done... but I guess I would save the (milli-)amps. :)
Thanks, Pieter

i would say hv10 is 5% better than hc1
hv10 manual exposure was horrible... i have to configurate every single shot

Link to Canon site and HV10 clips?
 

For the life of me I can't find those clips anymore. I know the Canon website had HV10 clips posted that were quite impressive. I'm thinking they may do the same with the HV20.

Does anyone have that link or are those clips gone?

It's a sticky at the top of this forum: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=80457

Nice Chris, thanks. Couldn't find those guys no matter how I searched the site.

More Canon HV10 footage - bucket loads of detail!
 

http://blip.tv/file/get/TheCreativeL...In720HD465.mov


I guess it's primarily because I've moved up to the HV10 from an old Canon camcorder, rather than down from a high-end HD video camera - but to me the HV10 produces amazing results! This Macro footage poses wonderful subtle tones and huge scoops of detail, it's the perfect camera for this kind of 'close up' product shot.

I'm heading out to Hong Kong in a few weeks and I'm wondering if I should pick up an HV20, but will it really be that much better than what the HV10 can produce?

James,
Very beautiful footage. Very sharp too. What worries me are those interlace artifacts whenever there's movement - those are not so nice... I wonder if they'd go away when shooting at 30F?

Dino

HV10 and amazing results....you better believe it! I love my Hv10 too!

Image quality wise I don't think you'll see much difference between the 10 and 20 in daylight/brightlight recordings. In lowlight situations is were you will see the difference from what I gather.

Anyway, I'll be very happy with my HV10 for some time to come.

Thanks for another great looking vid.

btw, what's with the Rally Racing game footage at the end? Did that sneak in there on ya? :)

HV20 raw 24p (60i)
 

HV20 raw 24p (60i) sample (not mine!) without with the cine preset - just automatic:

http://www.youngsterproduction.com/v...hv20%20raw.m2t

If anyone can tell me how to render as true 24p in vegas I would appreciate it
(remove the 2:3 pulldown)

The interlacing is because of standard pulldown added to the 24p for 1080i standards compatibility.
What will be the case with 25p PAL raw footage? Will that show interlacing? Will VLC be able to play it as true 25p?

Hmmm... the link doesn't seem to work.

I figured out the correct link:

HV20 vs HC7
 

left: HC7
right: HV20

http://plusd.itmedia.co.jp/lifestyle...news032_3.html

Thanks for this. But what I'd really like is a side-by-side comparison of some raw video.

Although I'm not a big believer in derterming quality soley by still grabs, the HV20 is obviously sharper in those pictures.
