I can vouch for the quality of the HV20. I shoot with that at work and the quality of the lens and video is amazing relative to the camera’s price, even in really bad lighting.

Why bother with the HDMI out? You are shooting video for a web site and not transferring to film. The HV20 with a lens adapter from cinevate will give you really nice results though. You’ll have to get used to working with flipped images when you use one (or mount an external LCD upside down).

errrrr I just noticed you may not be adjusting your white balance based on that single frame of the puppet shot. A fixed white balance will work better instead of having the camera try to guess it for you.

The white-balance is something I forget to do, but have been making an effort to do lately. I rush to get things done.
As for HDMI out, it is only to web, true, but I like the option of putting it out on DVD/HD-DVD, and also the higher the quality the video the better for keying, and while I want to get to a point where the majority of the stuff isn’t on bluescreen, there will still be a bunch of stuff where the blue-screen is needed. I’m tired of the haloing around the person that comes from the DV/HDV artifacting.
