Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon VIXIA HF10 Flash Memory High Definition Camcorder with 16 GB Internal Flash Memory and 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Customer Review: Great quality and product.
Summary: 5 Stars
After a nightmare with Sony cameras, I've decided to go with Canon and I was very right. This camera is amazingly easy to understand. Canon did a great job with user interface. (If you ever had any Canon product, they all very consistent in term of user interface).
Quality is just outstanding. Having 16Gb build in and Flash makes it 32GB. I love the option of moving files back and forth between those two memories. Flash drive is definitely better and faster.
I have a mac and this camera couldn't be any friendlier than it is. Mac recognizes two Flash Drives as one for Photos and one for Videos so you not gonna import all in one mix media. All software works great with this camera.
If you been looking for simple, yet great camera, this is the one. Thank you Canon, you just earned yourself a loyal user.
Customer Review: HD just keeps getting better
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my second HD camcorder (Sony HC3 bought 2 years ago). This one beats the Sony. It is light, very small, easy to use, and the picture quality is superb. Because of the light weight a very steady hand or tripod is useful as camera shake is hard to avoid. The image stabilizer is quite good but when doing a pan shot can lurch at the beginning as it tries to steady the picture. The on board mikes are adequate, prone to wind noise but not great. Surprising that manufacturers go to great lengths to give you good video but don't much care about sound. The boom mike makes a huge difference but is expensive. An improvement would be to have a way of transferring scenes from the on board memory to the chip memory - you have to use your computer to do that now. On the whole however it is fantastic value for the price.Customer Review: Very Nice Camcorder
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this camera about 2 months ago and my family has really enjoyed it. For a high-end general purpose home camcorder, I think the picture and sound quality are excellent. My friends have been very impressed when I plug the camera directly into my 40in. LCD HD television using the included component cable. Instead of worrying about HD DVDs, burners, players, etc., I just transfer the files to my computer, back them up on an external hard drive, and when I want to watch them I can transfer them back to the camcorder and plug it into the TV. The m2ts file format can be a bit tricky to work with, but there are free and/or inexpensive ways to convert to other file formats if necessary. Eventually I will probably make the leap to Blu-Ray for storage purposes when the prices come down.Customer Review: Great Camera, Little Quirks
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great camera for the price, no doubt. Recording at 1080p HD all the time is wonderful if you have the software to edit it. It's got great features on the camera, and it's no bigger than a regular soda can. Very lightweight. I haven't dropped it yet, so I don't know how well it holds up from drops.
A few quirks though. Manual Focus isn't the most powerful, so if you are wanting to buy a camera because of manual focus, you *may* want to look around. Getting to use the manual exposure is easy after you know how to enable it... navigate through the joystick menu, then hold the joystick in the UP position for a second or two, then it enables. I couldn't find anything in the manual, so I figured I'd let you know.
Other than that, it's a flawless camera.
Customer Review: Excellent camcorder
Summary: 5 Stars
Just bought this camcorder recently and it is excellent. I can easily shoot high def video onto the internal flash drive and then copy to a removable flash drive. Using my iMac, I simply copy the video files onto my hard drive and then stream them in their native format to my PS3 for playback on my high def plasma TV. If I want to edit videos, then I can easily use iMovie (although when pulling the videos over from the camcorder they are converted to another file type which is larger in size than the native AVHCD files). Overall, this is an excellent device with superb video quality, compact size and portability. Easily to use, but invest in a second battery as the primary battery lasts about an hour before it needs to be charged again.
