Digital camera reviews of Canon HG10 AVCHD High Definition Camcorder with Optical Image Stabilizer
Digital camera Review: Cannon HG10 was a good decision
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this camera to capture our first attempt at parenthood. I was expecting the camera would arrive in time for his birth, but he showed up 3 weeks early and the camera showed up a couple days later, still in time to see his first time home. I was happy to see the camera at work, it does show an excellent picture. I only buy new video cams about every 10 years (last one was in Hong Kong in 1997), so like to get the best for my money. I can see why there is such a following with these cams. Would I buy it again? Yes, at this point I think I would. I haven't tried the computer software yet. A warning from the Cannon book with this harddrive type of setup is that strong shakes or drops of the camera can possibly erase what you recorded (as with a laptop) so they warn you to back-up your recordings. I'm not all that computer literate and with a new baby not about to get any more computer savy, so Im holding out for the new Cannon Dw-100 DVR recorder.Digital camera Review: Canon HG10

This camera is small and very easy to use. The resolution is fabulous. When using the Canon HDMI cable with my high def TV, the home videos are as crisp and clear as any high definiton movie or show. Amazon's price was far lower than anywhere else. I highly recommend this video camera.Digital camera Review: Canon HG10

Was just my luck. Everyone is raving about this camera, Canon HG10. I bought one....and right out of the box it did not work. Froze up, and said: "Access Error." I did everything I was supposed to, charged up the battery properly, made all the settings correct (after reading the instruction manual thoroughly in advance, having downloaded it) and then try some test filming. On play back, the video stumbles, stutters and after a minute or two stops. Then a blank screen and the words "Access Error." I re-format the camera's hard drive, problem goes away for a few minutes, then starts again "Access Error." The instruction book's input on this malfunction is may be "condensation." The temperature inside and outside was 75 degrees. Condensation? Anyway, that would not last for one and half days the camera was indoors. The only other word on the subject from the instruction book is "Disk Access Problem." Well yes. What to do about it the instruction book doesn't tell you. I notice also the camera seems very very warm, not hot that it's uncomfortalbe to your hand, but much warmer than my other hard drive camcorder, a Toshiba. Thank goodness I purchased this HG10 camera from a reputable place, J&R Music World. The nice lady there said they would send me a pickup ticket by e-mail so I could return the camera to them. She said it would come by e-mail. Still hasn't, but it's the weekend, so maybe it will arrive on Monday. It isn't the fault of J&R, how would they know that Canon had sent them a lemon camera. Sure hope I can get another one, that works. Considering all the grief of life, this is a small disappointment, but I was looking forward to enjoying a nice camera. Very sad.Digital camera Review: Canon HG10 - So far I love it !

So far, I haven't had any major problems with this camera. I am new with HD camcorders. The video quality for this camcorder is quite excellent. Transferring video over to my computer works fast and well. I have not tried making DVDs using the program provided. I am disappointed I could not use other video editing software. The other drawback is the location of the power bottom; it is hard to turn on and off the camcorder with the fingers of the hand holding the camera. The use of the directional switch without moving the scroll wheel needs some getting used to.
In general I like the camcorder specially the video quality. So far I love it.
