Digital camera reviews of Canon VIXIA HF10 Flash Memory High Definition Camcorder with 16 GB Internal Flash Memory and 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: Great Little Flashcorder
Summary: 4 Stars
I just got my Vixia HF10 yesterday, read the manual, charged the battery, and realized I will need a second battery as the one that comes with it will only last about an hour. While looking for this battery I read some of the reviews on this flashcorder and about choked when I saw the review entitled "Some Bad Features - Beware". I quickly grabbed my HF10 and did my first recording. I plugged it into my iMac, opened up iMovie, the program instantly found the HF10 and I uploaded the video without any problems. Possibly the previous poster wasn't using the same OS. I'm using Mac Leopard 10.5x and iMovie which comes bundled with iLife 08. If I had to do it over again I think I would have bought the less expensive HF100 as I found that you must manually switch between the internal flash memory and your removable SDHC card. I was under the incorrect assumption that the HF10 would automatically switch from internal to external flash memory when it was full. I may be premature in my rating but it seems to take great video. Much better quality than my previous miniDV camcorder but to be fair it's six years old. I like not having to mess with tapes anymore. I damaged the ilink port on this Sony miniDV camcorder and thought I would just buy a miniDV player to transfer them to DVD but to my dismay they are quite expensive, many times more than the camcorder. It looks like flash memory is the wave of the future with tapes going the way of cassettes and VHS.Digital camera Review: Great Picture easy import to Final Cut Pro MAC
Summary: 5 Stars
The picture is as expected for a compact HD camera. In full daylight very sharp but this is not a low light video cam. Import to Final Cut Pro on my power Mac was easy and uneventful. It just imported and that was it. Controls are a little awkward. Generally I am happy with this consumer level cam.Digital camera Review: Great Toy!

I am more than happy with this camcorder - perfect picture and very easy to use!Digital camera Review: Great camcarder
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first HD Camcorder. Picture is really good and I like the HDAVC format. You can play the HDAVC directly on PS3, just plug the memory card into the PS3 USB port, it instantly recognized and you can play the video with HD quality picture. You can also use the come along software to create a DVD or Blueray DVD. I done with the regular DVD, although the format is not bluray, it is 16:9 and picture is quite good on my 40' LCD. I did not render the Bluray DVD option, I can imagine the quality should be way better. But why bother, I just plug my memory card into PS3 and the result is the same.
The only thing I regret was, I brought the HF10, I should have brought the HF100 which is identical without the internal memory. I used the external memory card all the time so the extra money I paid for the internal memory model is a null point.
