Title: HV20 Lens Shutter Breaks
Review: I have had the camcorder for a couple of years with fairly light use, maybe 20-30 hours total on the camcorder and the motorized lens shutter broke. I can's see why Canon would make a lens cover motorized given that most other camera types, such as digital SLR's have manual lens covers. It's an unnecessary design risk for an absolutely critical function: open to let the image come through. I won't buy another camera with an automatic lens opener and prefer an manual lens cover. STAY AWAY from this model.
