You've made the effort to get a top-notch home theater; why limit it to commercial movies? Get a video camera that takes full advantage of it for your personal video. Canon's HV20 high definition camcorder captures life how you live it. The 10X optical zoom and 200X digital zoom bring extreme close-ups. Have someone follow your ski run from the top of the hill to the bottom, while waiting for you with a hot cup of coffee. The exclusive Instant AF keeps the picture sharp at any speed.
The lens set is backed by a true 1920x1080 HD CMOS sensor. Not only do you get a true 1080p image, you get one with bright vivid colors thanks to the Bayer-pattern RGB Primary Color Filter. Canon has included a gyro- and image-sensor based SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization system for the sharpest images possible. This combination can handle anything from high-frequency vibrations like you get from a moving car to the lower-frequency shakes from hand held recording.
Canon's unwillingness to compromise with this camcorder continues to the outputs. If you wanted to you could use the DV/HDV ports. You could even use the component video outputs. But, if you’re the videophile that I think you are, you'll use the HDMI port to plug directly into your HD TV, that’s what it’s there for, after all.
