The H20 is SD/SDHC card based with 64MB of internal memory. The internal memory isn’t really good for anything more than taking a handful of still photos, but with support for up to 32GB SDHC cards the S20 can be easily extended to record hours of HD quality video.

The lens offers a 5x optical zoom with is smaller than most other HD camcorders but this is reflected in the price as the S20 costs about 3x less than the average HD camcorder from brands such as Sony, Canon or Panasonic. Don’t be put off by the price though, the S20 still manages to pack in video stabilization, an HDMI output and a night mode for shooting in darker environments.

The H20 features a 3” colour TFT LCD screen for use while recording or to review your footage. The screen isn’t a touch screen like other higher priced models and all settings are controlled via buttons on the camcorder body.
