Thanks for the advice everyone.
Given the similar pricing, I ended up buying the HV20 here in Australia. Total cost with Australian warranty was S$1885. All I gotta do now is to figure out how to use my new toy :bsmilie:
I will be passing through Singapore in the near future and was wondering if anyone could tell me the current street price for the Canon HV20 camcorder? Also, does Canon provide an international warranty with this camcorder? Thanks in advance.
