"Recently we tested the Canon HV20. It uses the HDV tape-based format and video quality is outstanding. But it does use a cassette, albeit a small one, and rewinding/fast forwarding seems something out of the ‘80s, not 2007. Enter the new three CCD JVC GZ-HD7, a high-def camcorder recording to a 60GB hard disc drive that holds up to five hours of 1920 x 1080i video at 26.6 Mbps (similar to HDV). No other HDD high-def camcorder has this big a drive—at least right now. Sony plans to introduce a 60GB edition in June.
