"Canon product details have been leaking like a sieve of late. First the accidental Hong Kong listing of their EOS 40D, now what appears to be their HV20 high-definition camcorder thanks to a \"coming soon\" placement on Circuit City's site shown above (and subsequently removed). According to the CC site, it'll pack a 2.96 megapixel CMOS sensor, 10x optical zoom, 2.7-inch LCD and feature high-definition recording to regular ol' MiniDV tapes just like daddy used only, presumably using the HDV format preferred by the kids and their own HV10 this model would be following. In fact, all those specs are the same as the HV10. On the face of it, the only difference is the introduction of an HDMI jack. Let's just hope they've improved upon the \"terrible low-light performance\" and other nits called out by reviewers of the previous model. No pictures posted but we do know that it's \"coming soon\" for $1100 which is righteous pricing for their second gen, compact HD camcorder.[Thanks, Michael E]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
