Vectracide 0 #1 February 7, 2007 So, with Sony abandoning the skydiver market with the disappearance of the upright models that we have so many helmets designed around, it seems that Canon has produced a model to bridge that gap. This little sucker has the same profile as the PC models and sports the larger 37mm lens with threading. The cameras dimensions are almost exactly that of the PC120, being only 1/2 inch taller and .2 inches wider (not thicker). This camera will not only fit into the bonehead drop-in boxes, but the older molded clam style for all the PC series. Thats a big bonus. It's outputs are: Firewire, USB, Component, and AV minijack (anyone know what that one does? Will this port work as the Sony Lanc port does? I can see that being a big problem with the vidiots. The batteries are obviously different as is the charger, but this wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. So do any of you out there have this camera yet? It appears to be a good candidate for the lack of Sony upright models, and has quite a lot of nice features that even the Sony models don't, such as the high res still shots at 3.1 megapixel and a non-pop up flash that works like a video light as well. Price is quite attractive at under 1k. I'd like to hear from anyone that has this baby or has experimented with it.

justinb138 0 #2 February 8, 2007 The HV10 has an optical image stabilizer which won't work for skydiving. If you do a search you'll probably be able to find some video of a jump someone did with one, but it didn't work out well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vectracide 0 #3 February 8, 2007 Errr....perhaps I should have done a search. I thought this was a new camera that just came out. Crap. Oh well. Disregard this thread. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justinb138 0 #4 February 8, 2007 Well, the link showed the HV10, but I haven't heard anything about the HV20 (which I assumed was a typing error until I saw the other thread) so it may be something that works. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
