I just recently purchased the Canon HG20 HD camcorder. It has a 60 Gb hard drive and records high-def 1080p video. It also has a 12x optical zoom. I'm very pleased with my purchase. It is an excellent unit.
I bought it to start recording videos for the Robot Geek projects. However, it does produce mts or MPEG Transport Stream files. I attempted to run those files through Adobe Premiere & Media Encoder and MS Expression Media Encoder. None of those apps would recognize that format. Then I found AVS Media. They have a product called AVS Video Converter. It immediately recognized the format and allowed me to convert to whatever format I wanted. Sweet!! And then I realized that they have a video editing app. I tried it out and it is a full featured editing app. It has over 200 transitions, video effects and text overlay. It's simple to set in and out points. I was able to be productive immediately with this. And the price was fantastic. It is currently $59 for the video converstion and video editing apps, plus a host of other apps that are included. I highly recommend checking it out.
