The HV20 is making a name for itself even with the big guys. There are even 35mm adapters for it now, something that was only available for "professional" level cameras up til this. Get the HV20 for sure. Oh and the fact that you need a better computer to work it is probably a good sign, seeing as how fast computers are improving I wouldnt worry too much about it. We are all going to have to get new computers every couple years anyway, so get the canon and then your other equiptment can grow into it. Look at it as the foundation, better quality in = better quality out :)
