Technically superior but quirky

Newegg
09 May 2008
  • Summary: Lots of Cons listed, why a 5 star rating? It does what I want it to do and it does it well. The ‘cons’ are quirky but most of them can be worked around or are just odd...
  • Pros: The quality of the video is outstanding. The fact that it records to flash memory sets it light years ahead of other media based cameras. It is very small, lightweight...
  • Cons: There are some questionable decisions that went into the design of this camera. You can record up to 6 hours of video to internal memory however the battery only lasts...

Nice

Newegg

Extremely pleased with this camera

Newegg
15 June 2008
  • Summary: After extensively researching HD camcorders, I decided on the Canon HF10 for our once-in-a-lifetime trip through the Panama Canal. I'm extremely pleased with the resul...
  • Pros: Great picture quality. Easy to use. Automatic focus and exposure were perfect 99.9% of the time. Good still picture capability. Outstanding low light performance. Scre...
  • Cons: Start-up time for still pictures was long - about 7 to 10 seconds before it was ready to take a picture after power-on. Start-up time for movies was much quicker, but ...

Canon VIXIA HF10

Newegg
14 June 2008
  • Summary: I bought my Canon VIXIA HF10 from photo Dynasty and the extra battery from Newegg. DO NOT fall for Photo Dynasty come ons. I ended up paying more, much more from if ph...
  • Pros: This camcorder is great. The video quality is outstanding. The stills are very very good. The optical image stabilization works wonders on both the video and still mode.
  • Cons: This is not really a negative since you will need a second battery for any camcorder you buy. The Canon BP-819 extended battery lasts forever and is a great buy.

Great Camcorder

Newegg

Nice camcorder

Newegg
2 weeks ago
  • Summary: Although I had to buy extra stuff for it (yet to get a AC charger) I love the cam and enjoy the quality.
  • Pros: Great HD Video and fun to operate. small enough to sit on my hip in a hip pouch. love the zoom.
  • Cons: software package is not good, wish the camcorder had a eye viewfinder. a little akward in my small hand. I bought the larger battery. Also got 16 gig memory card and a...

Good, Could use Improvement

Newegg
2 weeks ago
  • Summary: Overall it's doing what I wanted it for, except for focus. Because it's widescreen, sometimes you frame the subject off-center, and the camera focuses on something els...
  • Pros: 1080p for cheap. Works well with Linux, but actually watching the movies requires you to "illegally" download/install codecs from mplayer website, and compile mplayer ...
  • Cons: Keep in mind most of these are somewhat minor, but they are cons that I think could be fixed if Canon so desired.

Wooooooooooow

Newegg
4 weeks ago
  • Summary: If I lost this camera or it "grew legs" I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another the next day!
  • Pros: After quite a bit of research I chose the HF10 - Did buy it here at Newegg. Replaced a 6 year old Sony TR350 Hi8 which decided to have a mechanical problem aka DOS. Th...
  • Cons: I wish it had a view finder instead of having to look at the LCD to record. A little hard to follow action this way, but I am getting used to it. It is light as a feat...

compact & powerful

Newegg
03 September 2008
  • Summary: it was a good purchase.
  • Pros: it does what it's supposed to do. zoom is nice. it's a small camcorder that i can put into the pockets of my shorts (bumps around a bit so don't go jogging w/it). i al...
  • Cons: not much. one thing that i can think of is that you have to follow about 4 or 5 steps in order to delete a video from the camera. not a huge problem, just a bother.
