Hey guys, up for sale is a used but excellent condition Canon HV20. For those of you who know about this camera, I probably don't need to say any more. But for those of you who don't, let me post the specs. This is probably one of the best HD cameras in it's price range in the past 1~2 yrs. Just read any of these reviews:

The reason that this is attractive is the ability to shoot in 24p, which is the standard for film making. So if you want your movies to MOVE like film (not necessary LOOK like film) this is your cam.

It's a little over a year old, but I haven't touched it in over 9 ~ 10 months. I'm not sure how long the battery lasts, but you can buy one from namdaemun for about 20k. Comes with 2 bags (bag and backpack) and all the cables that it came with, and a remote control and a couple of tapes. Remember that your computer needs a FIREWIRE PORT to transfer these videos! Ebay prices are about 500~600 US DOLLARS for a USED one (so about 700~800k won) and Korean new prices are a million for the updated HV30 (which doesn't update anything really, cept the color, LCD brightness, and zoom toggle...)
and Korean used prices are about 620,000 Won.

I am asking 550,000 OBO. <--That means Or Best Offer, btw.

Again, if you're not interested, please don't post. Email me @ [email protected] or send me a PM. Text message me @ 010-7515-0722. I will ship this as well for an extra 5k. I am located in HONGDAE.
