Re: Firewire Capture: HV20/40 vs XHA1

true. keep in mind that if the heads are slightly out of alignment on either cam, it's best to use the cam you shot with. also the hv 20-30-40 cams are poor vcrs. the remote sensor is in the front of the cam and its not always very responsive. if you are capturing whole tapes no biggie. i guess.
