Canon HG10 AVCHD High Definition Camcorder with Optical Image Stabilizer

This camcorder is trully High Definition. If you've made the jump to a HDTV and have a standerd Camcorder, then this is a worthwhile upgrade. I did my homework on this one because it's a lot of money for most of us.This is the best quality family movie camera for those who have large screen HDTV at the best price. I have found that moving up to HDTV is as different as going from black & white to color. This HG10 is fully automatic but can be used manually. All the bells & whistles you would expect. I'm still practicing with it and learning all that it can do, although I must admit I struggle with ATADD (Advanced Technology Attention Deficit Disorder). Read the book several times and play with the camcorder a lot. I don't need to say anything about Canon, we all know how good they are. The only down side of the HG10 is that its hard drive could be damaged if turned on over 9,800 feet in altitude. Which is easy to do if you live in the Rockys like I do. So be carfull. It's light weight, compact and tough. Might seem to small if you have big fat hands. Wait till you see your home movies in HD!

Recently bought this camcorder. It works really great. I didn't try all the features yet, but I really like this camcorder as my first one. I was able to put my video on my computer using "Back up" software, and I installed Corel software without any problems. I can watch my clips, but the only problem I have is the when I try to watch my video on my laptop, it goes really slowly. I think that I am having this problem because of my computer. I have Sony Vaio, Pentium 4, 3,06 GHz and 384 GB of RAM. May be I should buy additional memory? Who knows, please give me an advise.

I found this camera to be perfect for the purpose intended and would not hesitate to reccomend it. Its small size and recording options/quality make it just abotu perfect.

high-quality output. I wish there were easier ways to upload (or broadcast) the videos on my PS3. Some people claim that Canon is being deceptive about claiming this camera to be 1080p, but I haven't confirmed it either way yet.

I have to say I was pretty impressed with this camera! I haven't had alot of time to play with like I would like. But the picture on this thing is AMAZING! I have 50 inch DLP and when I plug the camera into it to watch what I've recorded....It is BEAUTIFUL! It is FAR better than any standard camera you could ever buy! Plus because its HD it does pixelate as much when you use the digital zoom...most cameras the digital zoom is just plane crap! GREAT CAMERA! WOULD RECOMEND TO ANY WANTING AN HD CAMERA!
