I personally don't need more than 5 minutes for the kind of projects I shoot anyway. If you are shooting events, like weddings, then you should stay with a tape camera.

Can you shoot for an hour at a stretch like you can with tape in the HV20? I know I mentioned it above, but how long can you shoot video with your new Canon?

The Canon 7D. Best bang for the buck compared to the 5D. However, the lenses will cost you an arm and a leg. 2. Whatever AVCHD cam is getting announced this January at CES. I bet you will see an increase in the sensor size, since the last flagship Canon AVCHD cam, the HF-S10/S100, sucked in low light. 3. Keep your HV camera. It still works. :) Maybe I should write a blog post about this. >what comes next?

Regarding the 5D/7D, I mentioned why I bought the 5D on the article that I mentioned that I bought it. It's a long story. ;) Thank you guys.

Thanks so much for all the great info on your site. My question is like Vic's - what comes next? I got the HV20 for a great deal - just over 70,000 yen ($730 or so I think). Will there be another affordable camera that will be a step up from the HV20? HV20 user. Thanks so much for all the great info on your site. My question is like Vic’s – what comes next?

I suspect your dslr can only do about 10 min at a time. So anyway, I also wonder why you didn't buy the Canon 7D? Here again, thanks for all the hv20 info. I will miss your mastery of it I do alot of events and can avchd cameras go as long as an hour? I suspect your dslr can only do about 10 min at a time.
