camera takes a beating
on March 15, 2009
Posted by: Primo
from New York
Have my camera about seven months and while setting it up for my next trip (deleting old scenes) i placed it on my desk. I turned around for a second and then heard a heart breaking sound. My camera hitting the living room wooden floor. After shouting a few choice words about "how could I be so careless!" I checked it out. It was fine except for a broken battery latch. Everything else was functional. I dont even know if the drop sensor device deployed. This was from a height of approx. four to five feet. So far so good. Time will tell!
Pros: Compact Design, durable, tough little camera
I would recommend this to a friend!

Canon's first HDD cam-corder
on January 16, 2009
Posted by: Kilt Man
from Lake Norman, North Carolina
This was - I believe - Canon's first shot at an HDD cam-corder. Despite not being a latest issue, you need to realize that this is still one TERRIFIC unit! Both video and still images are simply so life-like, crystal-clear and vivid. And with the 24p video mode, you really *can* simulate Hollywood-style cinema. Newer always replaces older but let's not forget those that blazed the path! I bought this to replace a Canon mini-DVD recorder and the differences and advancements are SO shocking it's impossible to describe them all!. The newer VIXIA models are tempting but this HG10 still performs flawlessly!!! I still can't believe *I* can shoot video this beautifully!
Pros: Compact Design, excellent image quality, Easy TV Connectivity, Accurate, Vivid Colors, good battery life, Ergonomic/comfortable to hold, easy to use, Good Software Compatibility, silvery finish doesn't get hot-to-the-touch!
Cons: Limited Software Compatibility
I would recommend this to a friend!

Posted by: shooter
from little rock ar
i have owned an hg10 for well over a year i filmed my family and outdoor events and a remodel of our house i learn more about the camara every thime i get it out it is just great and it also takes great pictures it is hard for me to belive that it is only three megapix because of the quality
it is as other reviews have said low light and this camara to not get along but from what i have read that is not unsual for camaras in this class ... price range
the mic that is built in works very well i was recording a outdoor concert last summer i had the camara on my tripod well over my head and i was standing under the camara and during one of the songs i sang along and it picked up my voice with out any problem
also does not pick pick up any air noise
well worth the money

.mts impossible to get off the camera. I spent all this money on this camera and they do not provide acceptable software to retrieve it from the camera. Very dissapointed.

This is a nice camera for starters, the only problem is that the .mts files need to be converted and it takes a lot of time and cpu power.
I would recommend this to a friend!
