Vixia HF10 Camcorder Review

Strengths: Nice camera for the money. Video looks great! I think the indoor performance is very adequate.

Weakness: To charge the battery it nees to be plugged into the camera and the camera plugged into the wall. No seperate battery charger. Battery that comes with camera only lasts a little over an hour.

I have had the camera for 2 weeks. First I want to say that I'm an average user when it come to shooting video, I'm not an expert in filming. With that being said, here's my thoughts. Nice camera for the money. Video looks great! I think the indoor performance is very adequate. Don't care for the fact that you have to plug in the camera to an electrical outlet in order to transfer video from...

Canon HF10 HD SDHC camcorder

Strengths: Size, picture quality, ease of use, battery life.

Weakness: Size(takes some getting used to, it is so small), no viewfinder, software package that comes with it is weak.

I bought this to replace my aging Samsung MiniDV camera and the differences are staggering. The clarity (obviously) is head and shoulders above the old camera. No viewfinder makes it difficult to see in bright light, but that is a small drawback. The battery life is great as there are no moving parts to draw power. This is my first HD camera and I am glad I made this choice!

Great Consumer Camcorder

Strengths: Small and compact design, AF is pretty quick, Hand controls are well placed, Easy computer transfer, Pretty good low light capturing.

Weakness: LED Lamp is not good enough, Playback stutters on Pixela Player on slower computers, Slightly grainy video in low light, Purple line at bottom of screen in pixela player.

This might be the best consumer AVCHD camcorder out there right now. It is small and compact, about the size of a coke can. It uses flashed based memory so transferring to a pc is easy and fast. I haven't used the SDHC memory cards on it, so I am not sure how it saves to it. For example, does it save on the SDHC card when the built in flash is full

Need an HD camcorder? Can't go wrong with the HF10

Strengths: Compact, great HD quality, intuitive menus

Weakness: Hard to edit AVCHD recording format

I bought this HD camera for a recent trip. The quality is great and it's extremely compact. The built-in 16gb recorded ~2 hours of video plus it has room for additional sdhc cards. The only downside is that editing the video requires a lot of processing power as the video is recorded in the AVCHD format

Canon HF-10

Strengths: Excellent video quality; size

Weakness: difficult to keep still because it's so small; ACVHD is difficult to work with

The Canon HF-10 is small but not too small. I was considering the Sony HDR-TG1 but I went to the Sony store and the video quality was terrible. In addition the memory sticks are so so expensive. The HF-10 is a quality video equipement; well made and solid. It records onto an internal 16GB "hard drive" which is about 2 hours of the highest quality video format. Optional SDHC cards are cheap and...

This is the one

Strengths: The size is smal and it fits in your hand like a glove . The picture quality is stunning .

Weakness: I have not found any

This is so fun to operate in full auto mode all you do is to open the screen and start shooting . Everyone wants to see it and can't beleive the small size . when they see the play back on the small screen they all want to buy one . I have used it in low light and i am impressed . Canon waited until they got it rite . Buy the BP-819 Battery so you never miss a chance to get the stunning vido that...

Cool, Very Cool

Strengths: No moving parts! High quality video

Weakness: No viewfinder, powerful computer needed to process video

I have been using this for a couple weeks now just getting used to the cam before we leave for our Hawaii trip. The cam is very easy to use and the video that has come out of it has been great. I purchased two Transcend class 6 16GB SDHC cards to go along with it, as well as a spare high capacity battery. The camera has been great to use and the idea of no moving parts like a hard drive or tape...

Canon Vixia HF10 HD Camcorder

Strengths: Small and compact, lightweight, HD, interal storage, SD storage

Weakness: Stock battery won't last long enough to fill up internal storage capacity, have to charge battery in the camera.

This is my first camcorder. We have a baby on the way so I thought it was time to get one. After reading all the professional reviews online, I came to the conclusion that this was the best consumer level HD camcorder to be had. I am very impressed with the picture quality, as well as the camera functions. I plan to purchase the higher capacity battery and an external battery charger. The...

Excellent Camcorder

Strengths: Hi definition video quality, easy to use, flash memory, fast transfer of video, easily expandable

Weakness: Not much vertical space

This is an excellent flash memory based camcorder. Amazing video quality and very easy to operate. It's flash memory based and it's very easy to expand the memory by adding SDHC cards. Video transfer is as easy as drag and drop in Windows. The only weakness is it doesn't give much vertical space due to it's widerscreen aspect ratio. Overall, would highly recommend this camcorder to anyone.

High Quality Video

Strengths: Very good quality video, small and light weight can hold on one hand, support multi-language menu and an external large SDHC memory card.

Weakness: None up to now.

The camera can run about 90 minutes on a full charged battery. I need a backup battery for a long time shot and an external large size SDHC memory (32GB) is need for backup.

Canon Vixia HF10

THE GOOD: Excellent video quality; fast focus; compact, attractive, and comfortable design. THE BAD: Wind filter not as dependable as previous Canon models; manual focus pretty useless. THE BOTTOM LINE: Canons first flash-based camcorder, the Canon Vixia HF10, delivers excellent HD video quality and performance in a tiny package.
