yo

just got my canon hv20 with the starter kit from Zoommania.com in the mail today. i am mad stoked and can't wait for the weekend to start filming.
The kit came with:
Canon HV20 (with all the manufactured shit in the box... remote, battery, etc.)
3 filter lenses
lens cleaner and desk tripod
extra 3 hr battery
durable pretty dope carrying case (not too big and clunky)

TOTAL:
820 (with a $30 shipping :[ but its better than waiting 21 days for free shipping)

but yeah im stoked, and cant wait until i can buy a wide angle lens.. or santa might get it for me. ghaha

peace

Such a sick camera. Only problem is that its really small.

Make a steadycam for it instead of a C handle. Steadycams are amaaaaazing.
