Prager's HD Camera? What Kind?

[fargo182]

As the title says, anyone know exactly what digital video camera Prager is using in I think Ep 258 or 259? Probably the same one he's been using for awhile.

Just noticed the picture on it is quite good, and smooth.

Thanks in advance!

Its a Canon VIXIA HV20, yea its a fairly older model of the series. Came out around 07, current model is the HV40 but yea its still a good quality cam for a 3 year old model. Believe its also the same one Leo Laporte used at the live diggnation at SXSW

I have an HV40, love it. That series of cameras is definitely the best in terms of price/quality.

The HV40 was recommended by Film Riot also, as the best low cost (< $1000 range) camera.

HV20s and 30s are great too. There is only really minor differences.
