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!
Customer Review: Cannon HG10 was a good decision

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.Customer Review: Amazing quality in a small package
Summary: 5 Stars
I was unsure of the quality of the video and sound I would get after using much bigger and more expensive units. (Sony) I was also used to tapes rather than a hard drive.
Everything about the camcorder has been more than I expected. It has outstanding video and audio quality. The design and ease of operation was well thought out. The interfaces from the cam to a TV, computer, or burner are simple and maintain the quality of the original scenes. I especially like the 5.1 audio being a musician.
Bad experience...I ordered the accessory kit for the camera that included lenses, memory card, etc. (not Canon) through the Amazon site. Neither the lenses nor the memory card fit the cam, so be especially careful when ordering accessories. This was by no means a fault of the camera.
I continue to enjoy the cam and I'm finding more uses and features that put this cam a step above the others.

This is a great camera at a great price. It normally sells for $1300 so $760 or whatever is a great price. First of all it looks even better in person then it does from the pictures. If you are used to a touch screen display, like me, then it takes a few minutes to get aquatinted to the dial. The video speaks for itself. It is amazing. It is easy to get onto a mac using final cut and I'm sure that it is just as easy to get onto a pc. I took some videos in both good and low light and played them on a "standard definition" tv and they looked amazing. I can't even imagine what the quality is on an HDTV. If you are even considering breaking into the world of HD video like I was this is a great camera. It shoots high quality video (full HD) and is selling for cheap! I haven's used my microphone with it yet, but the mic on the camera is pretty good at cutting out ambient noise. Overall, great.Customer Review: great camcorder for the price!

i started reviewing camcorders and realized that all the ones i wanted were out of my price range. i then realized that i was looking to have a lot of features that i probably really didn't need. i found this one and it seemed to have things i was interested in....hd, storage on the hard drive, small size and compatible with my macbook. i have only used it a few times, to record my two month old and so far it works great. i am able to capture her with such great detail, its amazing. i love that you can view all the scenes in playback mode and choose which one you want to see and delete it right there. no more ffwd and rewind thru hours of video. it also has a built in light which has been helpful in some darker situations. i would recommend ordering a mini sd card to capture still images and if you are interested a hdmi/mini hdmi cable to connect the camera right to your hd tv.
