As many of you know, I am the host and producer of the Moxie Mo Show. This podcast is a show all about technology and what I deem as moxie in technology. In the ever competing world of podcasts, one thing you need is a good camera and I believe I found one in the Canon HV30.

Testfreaks.com rates the camera (user reviews, which I like to gauge as the best) as an 7.3 out of 10. We all know Canon makes beautiful and wonderful HD cameras. The problem I’ve had for quite some time is the price. I do the Moxie Mo Show as a hobby and although just recently we got signed by Mevio, my show isn’t my bread and butter. I couldn’t afford a $1200 camera like some podcasts out there which is why I did the show with my Flip Mino HD for a few months. Now, I’m proud to say I was able to get a great deal with the Canon HV30 and it’s definitely worth the $650.

I’m not a technical expert so I am not going to write about every single spec of the Canon HV30 (thus why you should go to Testfreaks.com and you can read everything you want about it), but I definitely encourage you to buy a Canon HV30 for ANY HD recordings.

This HD camera shoots gorgeous 1080 HD footage and uses Mini-DV tapes (which experts all say makes the HD look so much better) as well as gives you the ability to use an external microphone with it as well. It’s perfect for podcasting and perfect for a “family HD camera.” I definitely give it 5 moxies.
