Nice camcorder

Very compact excellent design. Overall was worth the money. Only downside is not much storage space. Have to buy separate compact flash card. Battery is just 'ok'. Excellent HD video quality.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: lack of storage
I would recommend this to a friend!

A STEAL for the price!!!

Contrary to what a previous reviewer said, it DOES shoot in FULL HD, 1920x1080 at 60i. It can be dialed down to Enhanced HD (1280x720) which is the same aspect ratio as Full HD (and nearly undistinguishable in most cases). It can also be dialed down to record in Standard Definition, if you're looking to save space. It's output compression rate is MP4.
The switch grip works seamlessly. You just rotate the camera over. Screen is very responsive. Power own is automatic when you open the viewfinder and it powers down automatically when you shut it. Response time is fast: you can start recording almost instantly when you open the viewfinder.
There are plenty of options to customize. You're not buying this camera to shoot professional videos are you? I didn't think so. It has more than enough for what a casual to moderately experienced user needs.
It holds up to one 32gb SDHC memory card, with NO internal memory. That may be a holdup for users who like tons of storage and leave footage on their cameras forever. However, if you, like me, actually take your movies off your camera and do something with them in relatively quick fashion, it's plenty of room (especially set to Enhanced HD instead of Full).
Not using the bundled editing software, but the files work perfectly in iMovie. If you're a PC user it should work fine with any editing software that works with HD footage. ***Figure this part out for your personal usage before you order, or you ay be frustrated.
The only negative to the camera is the still shot camera. It's pretty much useless. The shutter speed takes a lifetime and there is not an option to shoot while filming. Trust me, you will not be taking pictures with it, but that's what digital cameras are, right? So don't let the 4.9 megapixel still shots it can deliver sway you to purchase.
Overall, this camera is a great value, shoots good video with great color. Works pretty well in lower light and has a great sensor for it's price class. It's also incredibly small and lightweight, and a pretty sexy little piece of equipment (if that sort of thing matters to you). I don't think you can possibly go wrong with the Q-10! Enjoy!
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight, fast operation, simple to use
Cons: still shots
I would recommend this to a friend!
