hv20 accessories - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

I like to produce little commercial Films for very small companies and I want to use the HV20 because its cheap and shoots great videos, but I think it looks not so good because of the small size of the HV20 in comparison with other professional cams (like sonys FX-1)with often hat - for my mind - no big differences in picture quality.

Does somebody know some cheap accessories that make the HV20 look bigger? Like a Lens with no effect.

If you search on Ebay you can grab various accessories that will fit the camera. Since it uses a hot shoe that isn't exclusive to Canon you can get a lot of 3rd party stuff for the camera right now. There are various lights (with or without flash), Microphones and stuff. I myself bought a bunch of filters for it, I read the size of the lens and cover and saw it is 43mm, so any filters/zoom lenses/wide angle lenses that are 43mm SHOULD screw on to the camera to give it the bigger effect. But I will update you on that when I grab mine today.
