Ditto.

This site is incredible. It's either a great grassroots community effort, or BRILLIANT MARKETING on Canon's part!

Great work Mal!

[Mal]

I'd now normally give the common answer, and say how it's YOU ALL who are making this a great site, but I'll refrain this time, be selfish, and simply accept the lovely thanks here with huge gratification... :hv20-smilie03:

Thanks y'all! :hv20-smilie77:

[joseph soriano]

yes, thanks mal! the other forums are too slow as far as hv20 messages go. i think your signature should say, "you're welcome." ;)

[Dogma]

How can I add to what has already been said,,,,,,,just another big thank you Mal and all those that have posted clips, that's what swung it for me, had the HV20 for three days now and it exceeds all expectations in image quality.

[CJDaniels]

I also very much appreciate this website and everyone's contributions and insight. I always tend to over investigate purchases before I make them. A business acquaintance wanted to buy me something and needed to make a fast decisino, I kinda randomly chose the HV20. Immediately after I found this site are reassured my decsion. Thanks Mal and all.

[deanodirector]

[Daan Pol]

Yes this sure is a great site for the HV20!

I am going to pic up my brand new HV20 next monday!

[Maverick]

I also want to express my thanks. These forums have been invaluable for me and helped me make my decision to purchase the HV20.

Shared knowledge is powerful stuff...and that's what this site is all about! Didn't know until today who was responsible...As Gomer Pyle would say..."thankee thankee thankee!" Mal...bob :hv20-smilie70:

I'll add my thanks too.

I have learned a lot here. Forward Looker, Lord Tangent, and XFR especially have been a great help.

I echo all of the positive comments here about this forum.

I have a very tight wallet that I only open for the bare essentials of life --- food and shelter. Relatively speaking, I'm so tight with money that I don't consider the third essential element of life - that of clothing - all that necessary. And I'm reevaluating the need for housing above a blanket under a bridge.

But the dialog and exchange of information here at HV20 Forum prompted me to peel open my leather safe and buy a HV20 that I took delivery of last Friday evening. And it's now about 7am Sunday morning and I've only kat napped for 5-10 minutes at a time between exploring skills, knowledge, and techniques gathered here and experimenting such with my new HV20.

Oh The Camcorder Is Great And HV20 And Its Contributors Are The Best !!!!

And as I stated in my first post here, That's My Story And I'm Sticking To It.

May I also add my thanks and share this tale of Xmas past....
As a joke, my brother used to hang a pair of tights over his fireplace before Christmas. He said all he wanted was for Santa to fill them. What they say about Santa checking the list twice must be true, because every Christmas morning, although Daves kids stockings were overfilled, his poor tights hung sadly empty.
One year I decided to make his dream come true. I put on sunglasses and went in search of an inflatable love doll. Of course, they don't sell those things in Woolies. I had to go to an ‘adult shop’ in Soho. If you've never been in an X-rated store, don't go. You'll only confuse yourself. I was there almost three hours saying things like, "What does this do?", "You're havin a laugh!", "Who buys that?"
Finally I made it to the inflatable doll section. I wanted to buy a
standard, uncomplicated doll suitable for a night of romance that could also double as a Line-Up model for our studio cameras. Finding what I wanted was difficult as love dolls come in many models. I figured the "vibro-motion" was a feature my brother could live without so I settled for Lovable Louise. She also was at the bottom of the price scale (I’m a Scot!).
To call Louise a "doll" took a huge leap of imagination.
On Christmas Eve, with the help of an old bicycle pump, Louise came to life. My sister-in-law was in on the plan and left the front door unlocked. In the wee hours of the morning long after Santa had come and gone I crept into the house and filled the dangling tights with Louise's pliant legs and bottom. Then I let myself out and went home giggling. The next morning Dave called to say that Santa had been to his house and left a present that made him VERY happy but the dog was confused. The dog would bark and bark. I suggested he purchase an inflatable Lassie. We also agreed that Louise should remain in her tights so the rest of the family could admire her when they came for the traditional dinner. It seemed like a great idea, except we forgot Grandma and Grandpa would be there.
My grandmother noticed Louise the moment she walked in the door. "What the hell is that?" she asked.
"It's a doll." replied my brother.
"Who would play with something like that?" she replied "And where are her clothes?"
"Mmmm that turkey smells nice, Gran," Dave said, trying to steer her into the dining room. But Granny was relentless.
My grandfather, a delightful old man with poor eyesight, sidled up to me and said, "Hey who's the naked chick by the fire place?" I told him she was Daves friend. A few minutes later I noticed Grandpa by the fireplace talking to Louise. Not just talking, but actually flirting!
It was then that we realised this might be Grandpa's last Christmas at home
Dinner went well. During the after dinner small talk Louise suddenly made a noise that sounded a lot like my father in the morning. She then lurched from the tights, flew around the room a couple of times and fell in a heap in front of the sofa. The cat screamed, I passed red wine through my nose, and Grandpa ran across the room, fell to his knees, and began administering mouth to mouth. My little brother wet his pants and Granny threw down her napkin, stormed out of the room, and sat in the car.
It was indeed a Christmas to treasure.
Later we discovered the cause of Louise's collapse as she had suffered from a hot ember to the back of her thigh. With the help of some gaffer tape we restored her to perfect health.
Louise went on to star in several bachelor party movies and Grandpa continued to ask after her until his passing away in the late eighties. (He died after a minor malfunction of his life support system. The last words he was heard to say were “Have you tried switching it off and switching it back on again?”)
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and thanks again HV20.com!

Surely to inflate her would require not a bicycle pump, but a love pump?

What a great story. I recall once we went into the woods in Keston and found the box to a inflatable love doll named Dave with authentic "danglies".

(Quote from Game On Series 1, Episode 6, where Matthew has joined a band and is busy writing lyrics: "I don't wanna suck it, so just less of your bucked. Blag knob swivel dick love pump tallywacker")

Better get back to my panettone...
