Canon HG10 Digital Camcorder - 2.7" LCD - CMOS

HG10

Strengths: Excellent Camera and very good service from Click for Digital

Weakness: Done for camcorder

Have used this camcorder and am very pleased with how easy it is to use and the quality of the pictures and sound is excellent. Have my dogs running at full speed and there is no blur or camera movement.

No regrets!

Strengths: Picture quality; storage capacity; quiet hard drive; compact; GREAT, simple controls; good zoom; size (form factor); ergonomics; viewfinder

Weakness: Included software is very basic; audio is not the best; poor LED video light

Let me start by saying that I am not easily impressed, and I have often regretted major technology purchases. So this time, I decided to thoroughly research my digital camcorder choices, mainly at www.camcorderinfo.com.... After about two weeks of reading articles and reviews on the web of both standard and high-def hard drive camcorders, I decided on the HG10, and I am glad I did! No regrets...

The Camera is Amazing but the softwares need...

Strengths: Excellent picture quality, easy to operate, very handy. Hard drive protection technology is awesome.

Weakness: Softwares are not sufficient. A very powerful computer is needed to operate especially graphic card and CPU.

Canon DVD Burner DW-100 would be an excellent complement which will show up on may 2008. Overall HDD Canon camcorders are better than the Sony equivalents. Corel softwares needs improvement. It takes so long time to convert AVCHD to DVD.

Excellent Product and excellent Price

Strengths: 1. exceptional clarity 2. lightweight and compact 3. hi definition

Weakness: battery life could be better

I bought this item to replace my canon elura and the difference in picture quality proved to be spectacular. The image is clear and crisp, stereo sound and image stabilization are among the top qualities a home user will love about this item. The screen is huge and vivid. Response time from start to shoot is about a couple of seconds. Battery time a average. And since it has 40G of hard drive...

HG10 is overall the best AVCHD camcorder available

Strengths: Instant auto focus and excellent image quality. Superb optics and colors. Usability (handling) is great. 60i is very good for overall use.

Weakness: 24p mode is of limited use. Good to have multiple playlist options.

HG10 appears to strike a balance between picture quality and ease of use. 2. 60i is very good for overall use (day light, sports, trip videos, fast moving scenes, etc.,). Got mixed results on 24p (Found this mode useful only in limited occasions with no pan or little object movement. 24p is ideal for conversations, presentations, and low-light indoor shots where the combined picture quality of...

Canon HG10 Camcorder

Strengths: Ease of handling, excellent LCD screen, good battery life, low light performance and excellent image quality.

Weakness: Control switches small.

This product is very well done. Either the eyepiece or the LCD screen is easy to use. The overall size is convenient to a large pocket or purse. The low light operation is excellent and the faithfulness of the images remarkable. Considering it has HD the price makes it a very good value.

Great product

Strengths: strong, high quality and easy to use.

Weakness: size is a little bit big compared to SONY similar product. can't use my Apple Mac to download movies from it, but still pictures are fine.

Good quality, we dropped our HG10 2 times, it still works great. The 2.8MG still image camera is fantastic, better than my 5MG Olympus camera. pictures' colors are very bright and beautiful. Anyway, I love my HG10.

Canon HG10 - fantastic

Strengths: Excellent video and still quality, good price ($300 less than main competitor), lightweight

Weakness: avchd format is complicated to learn for novice users, can't save stills to HDD, doesnt come with HDMI cable.

I bought this camcorder for capturing my first baby's precious moments. Edged out Sony HDR-SR7 by price. I was put off by Sony's products and accessories. So far I am very pleased. It took me a while to get used to this new format and all associated software. I had to search through the internet for days to find good guidance on the format and software. Took some footage of Christmas lights and...

Very good video quality, OK controls

Strengths: -Good video quality. -Hard Disk based but really quiet. -Easy interface with TV and computers -Corel software that comes with HG10 is easy to work with. -Satisfied with the sound.

Weakness: -Ergonomics/controls - OK, but not the best. The mode button and the start stop function could be better. Strongly recommend anyone thinking of buying HG10 to go to a store and feel the controls.

I was looking for a good HD quality camcorder and I am happy with this camcorder. I have not tried half the features on the camcorder or the software. Recording at low light is OK, might end up buying canon video light. Buying this camcorder from Amazon was a pleasant experience. I need to stock up on Batteries and perhaps battery charger.

Very happy with the Canon HG10 so far

Strengths: Crystal clear video; good low light performance; good sound.

Weakness: We must buy loks more disk!

This is our first high-def videocam and our first hard disk camera. We're very happy with our initial impressions. My husband used the camera to record our son's madrigal concert in low light and it produced nice clear images and very good sound. It's quite light for what it does. Easy to handle. Many, though not all, of the controls are intuitive. The feature where you can choose a frame of vide...
