Canon VIXIA HF G20 HD Camcorder with HD CMOS Pro and 32GB Internal Flash Memory

Q: have you used the camcorder canon with low light ( 1,2 lux capable ) is the quality acceptable ( how is in comparison to Sony )

A lot of blue noise at 1,2 lux. Compared to Sony z1u (a very old model) there is no comparison, the z1u can't even go anywhere near that low light. Seriously, this is better in every way than a camera 10 years ago that costed $5000 except it doesn't have buttons for every single thing ever or a hot shoe but you can add an extension bar for that and you don't need all the buttons.

Q: Since the G20 shoots in 60i and not 60p, is there a difference in the quality of the video? I thought 60p was much better to use than 60i.

It depends. Technically 60p is a better image as far as it is cleaner for green screen work and special effects. Broadcast TV is in 60i. If your eye is trained to a pro level there is a difference. If this is a camera for family vacations, you can't tell a difference. I use it as a "B" camera for paid work and it is great. Plus I shoot in 24p which is what most cinema and pro video is shot at. 60 frames is for broadcast or slow motion.

Q: Is it worth paying about $500 more for the G30 or are you all pretty satisfied with the G20?

We are very satisfied with the G20! I don't know what I would have to have to justify the added cost of the G30. My daughter just returned from her 10 day trip to Italy with some awesome footage and stills taken with G20. She loves it!
