Canon HG10 AVCHD High Definition Camcorder with Optical Image Stabilizer

Hi
I had a JVC miniDV that worked great but wanted to upgrade to HDD. I don't own HDTV or blue ray player any of those fancy stuff. Still I bought this (as who knows when I'll win a lottery and suddenly own all these :) . I was also scared that this thing will never work on my Laptop which has 1.66 GHz processor with 1 GB RAM.

Well results are amazing. I tested both video and photo. Tried all the modes like Cine with 24fps, night mode. Tried effects like Sepia . I was able to use the software provided by COrel to transfer the video to my Laptop without any issue. I even burnt a DVD thats playing on my normal DVD player and the quality is great ...

Moral of the story you don't need to be a rocket scientist or pro to use this or burn DVD's. Make sure you read the manual carefully before using

cheers

the camera is a good camera, i have a one year old dell dual core one point eight processor and the computer has a hard time playing the hd format in the software that came with it, that is the only downer so far, i can't really enjoy the viewing and editing process. other than that the canon name brand holds true to its value, the night recording however isn't great. infact, i recently watched the movie cloverfield, and i was laughing to myself thinking how the whole movie was filmed by this guys personal camcorder and it all takes place in the dark. obviously holywood editing. thats not even close to being realistic to how a non professional man on the run with your everyday camcorder and let alone its not a canon hg 10, would turn out.

This camera is small and very easy to use. The resolution is fabulous. When using the Canon HDMI cable with my high def TV, the home videos are as crisp and clear as any high definiton movie or show. Amazon's price was far lower than anywhere else. I highly recommend this video camera.

We purchased this product over six months ago. Couldn't be happier with the quality of videos it produces. Even in low light conditions the pictures come out great. The convenience of hard drive is also good. Highly recommend this if you are in market for a camcorder.

This is an excellent product that I have purchased. The controls are easy and intuitive, the picture clarity is very good, and it integrates very well with my Samsung 40 in LCD TV. It is a giant leap from my old Cannon ZR 60, which was a miniDV based non HD camcorder. I don't know why I did not buy this before.
