DCN Review of the Canon HV20

To all of my camcorder peeps out there. Digital Camcorder News has posted an original review of the powerful (and popular) Canon HV20. As with most reviews, the HV20 earns great marks on it’s image quality, ease of use, 24p, and of course the killer low price point (currently in the mid-$800’s at legit online stores). DCN dings it a bit in the area of manual controls and handling, which is a common issue noted by reviewers.

“Yes, the Canon HV20 has a downside or two in the handling arena and manual control set, but what manufacturer wants to make the perfect camcorder? I mean, really! For the features it does offer, and for the price at which it offers those features, the Canon HV20 cannot be beat. Unless another manufacturer makes a surprise announcement before the end of the year, or Canon tries to upstage themselves, the Canon HV20 is almost a shoe-in as camcorder of the year.”

This is a camcorder I can definitely recommend.

A Holy Sacrament

In the Latin Rite the celebration of marriage between two Catholic faithful normally takes place during Holy Mass, because of the connection of all the sacraments with the Paschal mystery of Christ.120 In the Eucharist the memorial of the New Covenant is realized, the New Covenant in which Christ has united himself for ever to the Church, his beloved bride for whom he gave himself up.121 It is therefore fitting that the spouses should seal their consent to give themselves to each other through the offering of their own lives by uniting it to the offering of Christ for his Church made present in the Eucharistic sacrifice, and by receiving the Eucharist so that, communicating in the same Body and the same Blood of Christ, they may form but "one body" in Christ.122 -Catechism of the Catholic Church

This video is an awesome representation of what our catechism stands for. Thank you Hazel for all of your prayers and for reintroducing me back to the sacrament of the Eucharist. God has truly inspired me working on this piece.
