Canon HG10 AVCHD High Definition Camcorder with Optical Image Stabilizer
This light and easy to carry camcorder is amazing, and the price was unbeatable! The images are sharp and clean, and it's very easy to use, with very little help from the directions (which I keep handy in case I get stuck, because I'm constantly finding new things it will do - things I wouldn't miss if Canon hadn't thought of them, but which I'm really happy to discover. Truthfully, I'll probably never use all the features, because I'm an amateur, but it's nice to know they are there and that you don't have to learn all the technicalities of advanced use in order to get good service from this great camera. I love being able to store tons of stuff right on the hard drive so that I'm not pressured to process the videos to make room for more. That fits in with my busy, crazy life! The battery life is very satisfactory as well. I'm sure this video camera will give me years of great service!

It was August 10th, 2008 when this camera's price got lowered $100-$150. I had to jump on that deal asap, and I haven't looked back since. The quality is everything you would deam of, and the sound, despite what some reviews say, is great. There are some things to consider before buying though. The battery that it comes with will only last around 2hours...(Maybe a little more if you lower the quality).. Also, the packaged software doesn't have a lot of editing options. It is basically just cut and put on DVD..If you are on windows, you might want to check out Pinnacle Studio Plus ($90...which isn't bad at all)..Also, I had some problems with getting the activation code for the Corel software. I am guessing that the website is only up during business hours, because the next day I was able to connect and get the code...So, if you are having trouble getting the activation code...Take a deep breath...try again the next day at various times, and you should get through eventually. If not, you can call support and get the run-around by Canon and Corel...Their customer support (When dealing with this software) is insulting...but then again, so is the software...heh..All in all, though..The video and sound is beautiful! Just try to activate the software during business hours or get better software all together. With this price, you seriously can't go wrong.Digital camera Review: Canon HG10 Best camcorder I have ever had
Summary: 5 Stars
I have purchased 5 camcorders in the last 5 years for family events. I am glad to see the new HG10 has hit the top of the list. (Anyone want to buy my Hitachi Mini DVD camcorder) 2 years old. I love the fact that you can record hours and hours without worrying about changing media for storing the data. I love the easy to use controls and the flip screen. The fact that you have both a viewfinder and flip screen is great for out doors. I have found the amount of light for indoor recording to be an 8 on a scale from 1-10 but the convenient built in light handles those few situations just fine.
The build in camera with high def images is an added plus. No need to carry both a camera and camcorder any longer. Just got back from a week at Disneyland with the family and had the opportunity to use the software. If you follow the instructions you will be just fine. Plan on buying an external hard drive and using it just for conversion unless you have a high end machine. I went with a 180 gig external and set up the editing. Let it convert over night and ready to burn. Then just dup the DVD's as needed.
I would highly recommend this product... Have fun...

Summary: 5 Stars
I have to say I was pretty impressed with this camera! I haven't had alot of time to play with like I would like. But the picture on this thing is AMAZING! I have 50 inch DLP and when I plug the camera into it to watch what I've recorded....It is BEAUTIFUL! It is FAR better than any standard camera you could ever buy! Plus because its HD it does pixelate as much when you use the digital zoom...most cameras the digital zoom is just plane crap! GREAT CAMERA! WOULD RECOMEND TO ANY WANTING AN HD CAMERA!Digital camera Review: Canon HG10 ROCKS!

Simply amazing video! Low light a small issue, but works great in an auditorium with sufficient light on stage. Creates DVDs that look amazing compared to my older JVD miniDV camcorder. Saving small segments of video to a hard drive is 10x more efficient and easier to edit that with a miniDV. Also note worthy: great ergonomics, smooth/simple controls, plenty of options, takes nice still photos. Would definitely recommend to anyone upgrading to a HDD camcorder! Running software on a 2.4 ghz Pentium 4 (nothing impressive) and able to edit video content and render DVDs without difficulty. Oh, and playback looks fantastic on my 51" Panasonic plasma TV! Thanks Canon for making such an impressive HDD camcorder at such a reasonable price!
