Today's Woot is a Canon HV20 High Definition Camcorder that records HD to MiniDV tapes, and the deal looks absolutely fantastic.

Thing is, I've never owned a camcorder and I'm not really sure when I'd use one. I mostly stay at home and play video games when I'm not at work and I have no children to tape in their antics.

I also have no experience in film making and I doubt I could find anyone who'd act for me either.

But it just looks so cool that I can record things in HD and play them back on my TV via an HDMI cable.

Tell me there's a good reason I should get this..

If you're not sure when you'd use one...then you don't need it.

Thing with kids is, from my experience, they rarely perform their cute antics when I have the camcorder out. Only when it's on the top shelf of the closet, with a dead battery.


Ah...see? What you need is to find someone to act with you in front of the camera.
So...now you know when you'd use one.

My girlfriend is very opposed to video and picture records of our antics, so I think that's out too..

This may not be what you want to hear, but hey ... Na ni na ni boo boo.

You don't need it. It's a great deal today. But by the time you have kids or are okay with filming your porn or have a valid reason for purchasing it, the technology will be passe and/or the price will be lower.

It's a cool toy but you don't really want or need it. Take the $500 and invest it instead. Buy the toy later, when you'll use it.

When I saw it on WOOT this morning, I wondered briefly how I could manage to need it, but I concluded fairly shortly thereafter that I don't. And if there's no kids and no porn, you don't either.

in my experience..

Canon video = meh

DV video = shit

oh..and there is really something to be said about lenses. It doesn't matter what camera you have.. if the lens sucks..the video sucks.
